Speaker Bio
Neeltje van Horen is an international keynote speaker known for translating brain science into everyday tools that help people navigate pressure and perform at their best. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and her background as a professor of economics, she helps audiences understand how their brain drives the patterns that shape their thoughts, emotions, and everyday behaviour — and what small mental shifts can make a meaningful difference.Her talks blend science with storytelling. Practical and accessible, Neeltje brings research to life through relatable examples drawn from her own career in high-pressure environments, turning complex science into insights people instantly recognise in their own lives. Her talks and workshops are warm, engaging and practical, giving audiences the clarity to see their own patterns and the tools to shift them in real time.
She is also the author of Ignite, which expands on these ideas and has positioned her as a leading voice on science-based mental performance and everyday wellbeing. Neeltje has spoken at global companies, central banks, public institutions, and academic organisations across Europe and beyond.

Article about Ignite in The Times
I am thrilled to share that The Times has featured my new book Ignite in an article exploring my journey from high-achieving economist to author and speaker on personal transformation. The piece highlights my story of navigating stress, self-doubt, and the pressures of perfectionism—and how small, science-backed shifts helped me change not only how I work, but also how I live.

My book Ignite is now published!
What if the key to a happier, more balanced life was already inside your head?
As a professor of financial economics and recognised expert in international finance, Neeltje van Horen excelled in a demanding career – but constant self-doubt and stress left her feeling stuck. Seeking a way out, she turned to neuroscience and psychology and discovered how retraining her brain – one small habit at a time – transformed her life.
In Ignite, van Horen shares her journey and her discoveries. Blending relatable stories, cutting-edge research and practical strategies, she reveals how small, intentional changes can deliver meaningful results. Recognising that everyone’s path is unique, she offers a range of techniques, helping you discover what aligns best with your needs and aspirations.
Whether you’re looking to boost mental performance, break free from negative thought patterns or restore balance in your life, Ignite gives you the tools to unlock your brain’s potential – and change your life.
