What if your team thinks sharper tomorrow than it does today? 

That's what Elke Geraerts is all about. A doctor of psychology, passionate about behavior and performance, and a speaker who shows without any fuss how to build mental resilience and focus.

She has held academic positions at Harvard University, St. Andrews University, Maastricht University, and Rotterdam University, and was recently a visiting professor at Ghent University's Faculty of Economics and Business.

In 2014, she founded Better Minds, now an international team of around fifty psychologists, coaches, and consultants who help organizations sustainably increase leadership, productivity, and resilience.

As an author, she reached a wide audience with her books "Mental Capital", followed by "The New Mental", "Authentic Intelligence", and "The Mental Reset". Her work has appeared in English, Chinese, Korean, and Arabic.

In 2024 she launched “Focus is the New Gold”, in 2025, together with Marie Loop, “Mental Capital for Youngsters”.

Elke's keynotes are direct, human, and actionable. No buzzwords, just concrete tools you can apply the same day. That's why halls from Buenos Aires to Singapore are packed and why attendees still refer to "that one insight" months later.
