Dr Jack Lewis

Dr Jack Lewis is an, author, broadcaster and motivational speaker.

Jack has a first-class degree in neuroscience from the University of Nottingham, received his doctorate from University College London and went on to present a variety of science TV shows for the BBC, ITV, Discovery, Sky and Curiosity Stream.

His best-selling book Sort Your Brain Out has helped thousands of people all over the world to get more out of their brains on a daily basis and he’s shared this topic live on stage with dozens of international audiences, from Miami to Prague.

His latest book The Science of Sin, translated into Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, provides neuroscientific insights into how the “7 deadly sins” actually help us to thrive when in moderation, harm us in excess and all are rountinely leveraged to boost sales.

Dr Jack helped Deloitte add £100 million to their bottom line with a talk for the team that pitched for the global Tesco Auditing business on The Neuroscience of Decision Making. On the basis of that success he was invited to share these insights with Central European teams in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Once audiences understand how brains really make decisions, it is so much easier to get a client to reach the decision you need them to make. This talk is extremely popular with finance and sales Teams.

Across seven consecutive events Dr Jack worked with ITV Global’s senior leadership team, heads of development and middle management to help foster a culture of creativity through his Science of Innovation talk. He shares evidence-based insights into strategies that genuinely boost creative problem solving and others that, while hugely popular, don’t actually work; like Brain Storming. This talk is often paired with a 30-min interactive session that runs delegates through a scientifically valid method of creative ideation that Jack calls: The Brain Shake – invaluable for creative firms.

Jack’s talks on Building Resilience and Technology on the Brain have always gone down extremely well with Education Sector audiences keen to do more to look after their own brains while under stress, as well as those of the young people in their care.

Dr Jack also puts together bespoke talks, upon request, for example a talk on Unconscious Bias for the National Trust who wanted to understand how they could create marketing materials that appealed to a broader segment of the British public.

Delivered in plain English, with infectious enthusiasm and built on a deep foundation of scientific evidence, Dr Jack’s talks always go down brilliantly; whether the audience is an intimate group of 10 or several 100’s.
