Unleashing employee potential through neuroscience and sleep
The impact of sleep on employee performance and company success
More detailed information
In this keynote, Leo van Woerden delves into the profound impact of sleep on employee performance and the overall success of a company.
As a neuroscientist with extensive knowledge of sleep science, Leo explains how adequate sleep enhances cognitive functions, creativity, and decision-making.
Leaders and managers will learn about the correlation between well-rested employees and increased productivity, fewer mistakes, and improved workplace morale.
Leo highlights practical strategies that leaders can implement to foster a sleep-friendly culture within their organisations. From adjusting work schedules to promoting healthy sleep habits, this keynote offers actionable insights that can lead to a more engaged and efficient workplace. By prioritising sleep, companies can unlock the full potential of their employees, resulting in growth and sustainable success.
Leo delivers this essential information in a highly original and enthusiastic manner. Among other things, by showcasing his drumming skills live on stage, leaving the audience not only informed but ultimately inspired and empowered.
Leo van Woerden offers valuable insights and paradigm shifts using his crash course in neuroscience, sleep, and health, all provided in his keynotes and workshops. Employees learn a new language of health and vitality, empowering them to take responsibility for their own health and that of their colleagues. The end result is that they work better, longer, and happier for the company they are employed by. This company benefits in turn as efficiency improves, and revenue and margins can and will grow. Ultimately, even sustainability will improve as people take better care of themselves, their connections, and their environment.
Do you see stress, fatigue and loss of focus increasing, while expectations keep rising? That is not a motivation problem. It is a brain problem. And it becomes solvable once people understand how their brain actually works.
During his studies in neuroscience at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, one insight became decisive for the work of Leo van Woerden: the brain is trainable. How people deal with pressure, recovery and rhythm largely determines their performance, focus and mental resilience.
His personal experience with ADHD deepened his professional fascination with attention, energy and self-regulation. Not as a personal story, but as the starting point for a sober question: why does willpower so often fall short, and why does sustainable performance only emerge when people understand how their brain works?
Leo brought these insights together in the BRV method (Brain Rhythm Variability). Simply put, it describes how the brain switches between rhythms of focus, tension and recovery. This neuroscientific framework shows how this switching can be trained through practical adjustments. Leo presented this method in his TEDx talk and has since been applying it as a speaker and trainer in organisations where sharp performance under pressure is essential.
Leo works from science without noise. His approach is evidence-based. He separates facts from myths and avoids hypes. Instead, he offers a clear user manual for the brain, helping people understand why they get stuck and what is needed to function better. That insight forms the foundation for sustainable behavioural change.
What sets Leo apart is that he does not just explain neuroscience, he makes it tangible. Through rhythm and drums, brain processes become physically experienceable, which helps insights stick faster. He translates stress, sleep and recovery into concrete choices and routines for work and everyday life.
His keynotes and workshops are energetic and engaging, with humour and sharpness that confront without overwhelming and stimulate thinking, while helping people function in a more focused and resilient way over the long term.
