Where leadership meets insight
Hosted by:
Leadership is Demanding
With rising complexity, faster decisions, and higher expectations, today’s leaders need space to think and insight they can trust.
Created in partnership by Cortical Consulting & Coaching and the Hotchkiss Brain Institute, this summit offers that space, combining the latest in neuroscience with real-world leadership experience to help leaders perform at their best under pressure.
You’ll hear from leaders who have faced high-stakes decisions, navigated uncertainty, and are generously sharing what they’ve learned along the way with honesty, humility, and clarity.
Why This Summit Matters
The demands on leaders continue to grow. Performance, communication, change, and culture all intersect in real time — often without space to pause or reflect.
This summit is designed to create that space.
Leadership at the Speed of Science brings together perspectives from science, business, and lived leadership experience to explore how people lead, decide, and adapt in complexity. Not to deliver a framework, but to invite fresh perspective, relevant insight, and meaningful conversation. This is where:
- Where performance meets pressure
- Where decisions come fast — and the stakes are high
Where leadership is explored, not prescribed. It’s a leadership experience grounded in curiosity, credibility, and relevance based on the demands of leading today.
Who Should Attend
This summit is for:
- Executives, senior leaders, and team leads
- HR and people leaders focused on culture, performance, and adaptability
- Leaders in high-stakes or high-responsibility roles
- Anyone interested in how leadership is evolving in today’s world
Whether you lead a business, a team, or yourself, this summit is for those who are curious about what new perspectives might offer.
You’ll Walk Away With
- Thought-provoking insight into how people lead under pressure and uncertainty
- Perspectives from neuroscience, human behaviour, and leadership practice
- Insight into how your brain and behaviour shape how you lead or respond in stressful moments
- Reflections for your mental health, your leadership, your team, and your organization
- A community of peers who are exploring what stress, performance and leadership needs to be in today’s world
This Summit is about bringing science and experience into conversation to better understand the human side of leadership — starting with ourselves.
Because who loses when leaders understand themselves more deeply? When they lead with more clarity, intention, and awareness? That’s not soft. Its essential.
