Executive coach and neuroscience of leadership specialist — founder of enHansen Performance.
Kristen Hansen is a leadership specialist and executive coach whose work is built on the neuroscience of human performance. As founder of enHansen Performance, she has spent two decades helping leaders, teams and organisations understand why they behave the way they do under pressure, and what it takes to lead effectively in a world of constant change and complexity. Her work is grounded in brain science and delivered with practical tools that leaders can apply immediately.
Her keynotes and programs draw on a deep fluency in the neuroscience of leadership, resilience, performance and change. Kristen doesn't traffic in general wellness or vague motivational content; she gives audiences a clear understanding of the mechanisms behind stress, decision-making, emotional regulation and behaviour change, and she translates that understanding into specific leadership and performance strategies. Her signature CEO of You™ program frames individual responsibility and self-leadership as the foundation of organisational performance.
Kristen is a particularly strong fit for senior leadership and high-performance sales audiences who want their event content backed by science rather than anecdote. Her presentations are intellectually credible, practically grounded and delivered with the warmth and authority of someone who has spent years working alongside some of Australia's most demanding leaders.
Kristen Hansen is a keynote speaker based in New South Wales who speaks on business strategy, leadership and mental health & wellbeing. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.

Kristen was very engaging and the anecdotal feedback received from delegates was overwhelmingly positive.Australian Rehabilitation Providers Association
Kristen Hansen was an excellent speaker. I really enjoyed her delivery and content, particularly her analogies. I enjoyed it, particularly Kristen, as it brought back memories of a previous role and colleagues. It was great meeting some key people in the public sector and I found all speakers excellent. I look forward to the next one.Office for the Public-Sector Conference – The Neuroscience of Leadership, Teamgage
