About the founder...
Shonté Jovan Taylor, MSc, PhD(c) is a neuroscientist, human potential trainer, and success strategist and the founder of the OptiMind Institute, where she trains coaches, leaders, and educators to lead and live with the brain in mind.
Known to her community as "Our Neuro-Professor," she holds a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from UCLA and a Master's in Biology/Neurobiology California State University, with her graduate research at Harbor/UCLA focused on traumatic brain injury and concussion.
She went on to complete additional PhD-level graduate research and training in traumatic brain injury, PTSD and dementia and led initiatives like the M.I.N.D. study serving Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans with PTSD and TBI at the VA before deciding her real calling was teaching everyday people how to use this knowledge.
Over the past 12-plus years, she's built the OptiMind NeuroCoach & NeuroLeader Certification into a previously ICF-approved and accredited program, trained coaches and leaders across health, education, government, and corporate sectors. She now speaks and trains globally, carrying out OptiMind's mission to empower a billion minds. OptiMind seeks to bridge rigorous brain science with plain, human (& humane) language, because a fact only helps someone if it actually reaches them.
What sets her teaching apart isn't just the science. It's the lens she brings to it: her experience as a Black woman in STEM, a pastor's grandchild raised around ancient texts and languages, a former biology teacher and college professor, and a lifelong, wide-ranging reader and learner. That combination lets her connect neuroscience to nearly anything, (e.g. leadership, relationships, creativity, spirituality, history) in a way that's grounded in real research and shaped by real, lived experience.
