Juniper

Pulled into a leadership challenge at an innovative tech startup where she was mentoring, Juniper Green, Ph.D., encountered firsthand the flawed system that claimed to foster innovation and teamwork while inadvertently stifling creativity and individuality. She saw how modern work culture can be built on a framework that pressures young professionals into conformity, leading to widespread mental health issues. Juniper believes there's a better way to nurture talent and ambition.

Holding a Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from Stanford University, Juniper is adept at transforming abstract concepts into actionable insights. Her mission is to help others identify the outdated paradigms that hinder personal growth and replace them with a forward-thinking "neuroparadigm." Juniper has delved deeply into what experts across psychology, business management, and neuroscience understand about optimizing brain function, which has driven her to share this knowledge with everyone who can benefit from it. Employees, mentors, and executives alike gain from understanding current research on how to promote healthy, resilient, and peak-performing minds. Dr. Susan Greenfield, a distinguished neuroscientist, praised Juniper's book The Creative Mind: Unleash Your Potential and Thrive as “an unparalleled guide for leveraging our brain’s potential.”

Juniper's primary aim is to address the damage done to individuals' confidence and creativity by rigid corporate structures and encourage practices that empower people to heal and flourish. By embracing evidence-based strategies, we can all recover and enhance our natural cognitive strengths, even after experiencing setbacks or restrictive environments.

This December, in the heart of Silicon Valley, Juniper launched her initiative during a vibrant conference attended by thought leaders and innovators from around the globe. It was here that she shared her vision for a future where every person can thrive in an environment that supports their unique path to success.
