Neuroscientist of the Mind, Coach at the Core | Purpose-driven mindset Coach | NLP Practitioner | Researcher & Lecturer | Founder of The Courage Quest | PhD in Cognitive & Behavioural Neuroscience

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place." – Nora Roberts
This quote isn’t just on my wall—it’s in every brave step I’ve taken. From leaving home to pursue a life built on science, service, and soul work, it’s been my anchor through fear, growth, and becoming.

Who I am:
I’m Dr. Srinidhi Desikan—a Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscientist, Lab Manager, Lecturer, NLP Master practitioner, and Life & Mindset Coach. My path bridges many worlds: the rigour of academia, the depth of the human psyche, and the quiet (yet loud) transformations that happen when someone remembers who they are.

What I do:
- I manage the VU Behavioral Lab, where I’ve built systems and community across faculties to support research in human behavior.
- I guide students through their academic and personal journey of discovery.
- I coach individuals—often those navigating identity, fear, and transition—through a non-profit, pay-it-forward practice that centers on growth over transaction.
- I write, speak, teach, and listen. And I hold space for people, even (and especially) when they don’t know what they need yet.

How I do it:
With both precision and depth. I bring together neuroscience, psychology, NLP, and lived wisdom.
My approach is raw and reflective—I go beneath the surface, gently but directly. We get honest. We get clear. We shift from “Why me?” to “Why not me?”

Why I do it:
Because too many people live beneath their truth. Because I’ve been there. Because I’ve watched science transform systems and life—and seen presence transform people.
And because I believe that courage, when met with the right support, creates lives that feel like home.

Last Friday was a bit special 😊 

Over the last few days, as I looked through hundreds of photos and videos from TEDxEindhoven 2025, something happened that I did not expect.

All those moments made me emotional.

Seeing the speakers in the red circle.
Seeing our volunteers, both new and experienced, giving everything they had.
Seeing the audience leaning into every idea.
Seeing how partners shared our common vision.
Seeing our almost new team standing strong together.

It reminded me that TEDxEindhoven was not just an event we organised.
It was a community we rebuilt.

This year was (comparatively) different...

 A new board.
 (Almost) a new team.
 New systems.
 Big decisions.
 Long evenings.
 Tough moments.
 
But every challenge made us stronger.
 
And last Friday proved it.

🌟 𝗔 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂

TEDxEindhoven is now in its tenth year.

Every person who contributed in the last decade, every volunteer, every board member, every speaker, every partner, and every friend helped build the foundation we stand on today.

Your work, your energy, and your belief made this year’s success possible.
We carry your legacy forward with gratitude.

And I feel incredibly proud to be part of a city that believes in curiosity, connection and creativity. Eindhoven makes ideas possible.

𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱.
TEDxEindhoven 2026 will be even stronger.
 
If you want to join our journey as a partner, volunteer, speaker, or team member, or just a community member... this is your moment.

𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘂𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀.

That line stayed with me long after we finished the webinar.

As the host, I had the chance to sit with Geoffrey van Elderen and Bart Muijtjens and go much deeper into what AI supported HAZOP really means.

Not automation.
Not replacing experts.

But giving teams clarity, consistency and the ability to make faster, better decisions.

I genuinely enjoyed this conversation.
Geoffrey’s personal story.
Bart’s experiences from the field.
The live demo of the Gordium platform.
And the discussion on how safety must evolve with the pace of operations.

I learned a lot, and I think many people in our industry will find this valuable too.

🎥 I am sharing the video here because it deserves to be seen by more people:  https://lnkd.in/eetr_6bM

The future of safety is people and technology working together.
