Lindsey Byrne is the founder of Parkwood Learning, a leadership development practitioner and an ORSC-trained systems coach; developing team relationships helping them to align around meaningful goals, uncovering and understanding the unspoken needs, views, emotions and expectations that sometimes block effective teamwork. She has a particular interest in helping leaders practice thinking differently in response to volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) situations, by tapping into the neuroscience of leadership and delivering learning that helps leaders overcome pre-programmed habitual responses in pressured situations. She also has a specific interest in the neuroscience of learning, ensuring that learning interventions work effectively with how the brain works to maximise retention and transfer of learning into the workplace.
