Dr Elke Geraerts has a rare gift: she brings together academic credibility and practical application in a way few others can. With a PhD in psychology and experience at leading universities including Harvard, St Andrews, Maastricht, Rotterdam, and Ghent, she built a reputation for robust, internationally recognised research.

Fascinated by how psychological science could support people in real-time, fast-paced work environments, Dr Elke Geraerts transitioned into the business world. Her goal was clear: to help people and organisations not only survive but thrive amid rising pressure and complexity.
This mission led to the founding of Better Minds at Work, a consultancy that empowers teams and leaders to optimise mental resilience, focus, and talent. Today, it spans over seventy psychologists and consultants globally. Elke’s work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, business, and performance—a compelling mix for organisations looking to strengthen wellbeing and effectiveness.
What makes Dr Elke Geraerts a standout keynote speaker is her ability to turn complex psychological insights into accessible, inspiring guidance. Her talks don’t just inform—they transform. She brings her audiences on a journey from understanding the brain to changing how they work, lead, and live.
Rather than offering generic wellbeing advice, Elke dives deep into how leaders and employees can practically apply the latest research on stress, attention, motivation, and resilience. Her approach is science-backed, yet always human-centred. She empowers teams to reframe challenges, boost engagement, and build sustainable habits in their daily work.
