Brilliant motivational speaker that connects 100% with the audience.

Thorbjørn Hededal Danske Bank

I’ve taken part in lots of other seminars and watched numerous TED talks in my life, but never come across an active stage presence like Anette Prehn’s. She has a gift for being both highly professional, knowledgeable, and relevant to business whilst almost cartwheeling on stage with her bubbly and dynamic personality. My warmest recommendations!

Tore Falkenberg, Nordea

Anette Prehn manages to excite, even though the material is hardcore. When Anette lectures on how learning takes place, she herself uses methods that support learning. It is theory and practice combined at the same time, which provides double learning.

Grethe Risum Krog Rigshospitalet

One of the most interesting lectures I have attended.

Anders Garnell Bosch Rexroth

An inspirational firework! It was a true pleasure to witness Anette Prehn’s charisma and enthusiasm, humor, and ability to communicate complicated knowledge in a fantastically tangible manner.

Sebastian Schwarz Danish Export Association

Anette Prehn is a highly experienced and reliable speaker. She communicates neuroscience in a way that makes it both relevant and concrete for leaders – with lots of illustrative examples, a varied training style and brain-friendly principles and exercises. We had Anette do a tour where she gave the same inspirational workshop in four different locations across the country – and every time she delivered with the same commitment and vitality.

Mette Marie Langenge HK Kommunal

It’s not too often one attends a seminar and can see the benefits immediately – Anette Prehn provided exactly that environment for us.

Bobby Kaura Roche

Anette Prehn is impossible to miss when she is on stage. She is brilliant in leading her audience and diversifying public speaking methods that charms audience and facilitates active listening. Also, I consider Anette’s book ‘Play Your Brain’ to be the missing ingredient in the conventional business world.

Skirmantas Letukas Siemens Wind Power

Anette Prehn’s BRAINSMART concept offers a unique and clear understanding of why people cope with strong emotional experiences so differently, and how we may give them a better chance of staying mentally healthy and fit under extraordinary pressure. Anette Prehn is a powerhouse and continues to turn complex neuroscience into easy-to-apply principles and tools that can be learnt and used. On top of this, Anette Prehn is a fantastic communicator, in her books as well as while presenting. She has a stage presence second to none, a playful approach to learning and life and she vividly engages everyone in a room. My warmest recommendations!

Warrant Officer H.F. Bech Royal Danish Air Force

We had a very captivating virtual lecture with Anette Prehn focusing on the brain’s reactions to change. It is of course always difficult to evaluate the exact effects of such interventions. However, I have to say that I am impressed with how well my employees have been able to cope with the change afterwards … the largest change ever in the history of Grundfos.

Per Kjertan Thamsen Grundfos

Anette Prehn is a generous and attentive speaker with a formidable ability to make difficult things easy to comprehend. She translates neuroscience into useful tools. Her speaking style – oscillating between presentations and audience participation – is simply excellent and she manages to create a sense of togetherness in the room, which boosts learning.

Olav Keblovszki Port of Aarhus

Anette Prehn delivered an outstanding performance at our conference and was the best speaker of the day. She contributed with brand new and useful knowledge to the participants. At the same time, Anette is both entertaining, energetic, and charming. I give Anette Prehn my best recommendations to others, who need energy, joy, and new tools to understand the brain’s mechanisms.

Keynotes

Keynote by Anette Prehn :

Feedback with the Brain in Mind

Why is “good” advice frequently ignored? And what makes feedback so often misunderstood, sometimes even opposed?

It is worth knowing the rules of the brain when it comes to human interaction. They hold the key to understanding how to turn feedback into a psychologically safe endeavour that encourages openness in both/all parties. However, it can easily go wrong:

Are you being perceived to be in the other person's "out-group"?

What can make the amygdala, the alarm bell of the brain, hijack key "executive functions" in the brain before, during and after feedback?

How do you stimulate real learning and new behaviour?

How do you ensure that you yourself have a flexible mindset when touching upon sensitive content in your feedback?

Do you want to become a BrainSmart leader or just gain some insights on how to change and create a working environment that minimise stress, pressure and old negative habits?

With this keynote you will gain an insight on the underlying reasons for the brains responses and how to handle them.

Keynote by Anette Prehn :

Create change mindsets

Are you and your organisation ready for change?

Resistance to change can be both time-consuming and energy-draining. In fact, 70% of alll corporate change efforts fail because of many different reasons. You will find out that good intentions are not equal to a sucessful exercution if you want to change the culture/mindset of your workplace.

The main questions when intorducing changes is: how do you dampen the threat responses that are triggered? What does it take to make people's brains "play along" so they don't only see the point in the change efforts but also believe they can do it and that change is a route worth travelling? And how do you create mindsets that are changeable in your organisation?

The rules of the brain holds the key to understanding why change efforts go wrong and how to become a successful leader that is able to implement change in any given situation.

With this keynote you and your team will get a greater result and experience an increased wellbeing through this under underestimated source of power.

On the other hand: getting and applying the hard data from neuroscience about how the brain
actually
functions boosts your relational power, collaboration and impact substantially.
