Elke Geraerts
As a doctor of psychology Elke held academic positions at the universities of Harvard, St. Andrews, Maastricht, Rotterdam and recently Ghent. She wanted to spread her scientific knowledge broadly and therefore founded Better Minds at Work in 2014. Elke aspires to a ‘mental revolution’, in which the entire team of Better Minds at Work spreads indispensable knowledge about mental resilience across all sectors, functions, generations and cultures.
Although Elke is best known as a keynote speaker and author (of, among others, Better Minds and Focus is the New Gold), she is first and foremost a conversation partner for each client and knows how to translate psychological insights into fresh and accessible day-to-day applications for individuals and organisations.

"Together with my global team I had the opportunity to experience one of Better Minds’ sessions on Resilience. This was the best 90 mins I have spent in years! Their approach is fabulous. They capture their listeners with their authenticity and passion for the topic. While clearly grounded in science the use of metaphors and practical frameworks makes it easy to access. As a global team we have started our 48 hour sprint to put at least 3 tips in to practice. Their session is a must for all in the challenging times we live in!"
