Dorka Nagy-Józsa on stage with audience
"Leadership is a relationship, nothing more, nothing less."

The person behind
the keynotes

Dorka doesn't do three-day hotel workshops where people learn their personality type and go home unchanged. She's spent years figuring out why most leadership development fails - and building something that actually works.

Her keynotes connect neuroscience, AI, and organisational behaviour in a way that's direct, research-backed, and - as audiences tend to report - impossible to sit still through.

Neuroscience & AI - From dopamine-driven task-switching to why your CEO's age predicts your remote work policy. The research you didn't know you needed.

CEO of Y2Y Ltd. - Leadership development, coaching, and organisational consulting. Daily practice, failure, trying again - that's the method.

Global Speaker - Four continents, 300+ engagements. From HR summits to supply chain conferences to factory floors.

Three keynotes.
No mercy.

01 🧠
Neuroscience & Change

The Neuroscience of Why Change Fails

  • Why personality tests become excuses - not development tools
  • Three-minute attention spans: what neuroscience actually says about leadership
  • Back-sitting: the $438B crisis where your best people show up but check out
  • Why most development programs are designed to fail - and the neuroscience-backed alternative
02 🤖
AI & Brain Science

AI, Your Brain & the New Rules of Work

  • The multitasking renaissance: why your ADHD colleague might be the most evolved person in the room
  • AI as the first helper with zero shame threshold - and why that changes everything
  • Parallel cognition across multiple AI systems: the skill nobody's teaching yet
  • What happens when machines understand dopamine better than your manager does
03
Leadership & Performance

Built to Lead: Sport Science Meets the Boardroom

  • How elite athletes and elite leaders think alike - and where both fail
  • Mental preparation for high-stakes decisions (from WorldSkills to the C-suite)
  • Your CEO's age predicts your remote work policy - Stanford proved it
  • Leadership isn't a vitamin deficiency. It's daily practice, failure, and trying again.

Non-profit & social impact organisations: reach out anyway. Science-backed leadership development shouldn't be a luxury - and Dorka means it.

HUMAN
"

You'll go deeper with AI than with any human helper, ever. Not because it's smarter. Simply because you have no shame threshold with it. And that will be what prepares your path to the humans who can actually help.

- Dorka Nagy-Józsa

From the Y2Y Weekly

How Old Is the CEO?

The most important interview question of 2026. Your CEO's age predicts your remote work policy - and Stanford has the data to prove it.

Back-Sitting: The Silent Crisis

Your people are trapped. And they know it. They're sitting with their backs to the future - not looking forward, not steering.

The First You'll Trust Without a Shame Threshold

AI won't replace human helpers. It will be what finally prepares your path to them - because you have no shame threshold with a machine.

Nature vs Nurture: The Question We'll Never Answer

Leadership isn't a vitamin deficiency. It's practice. Daily work. Feedback. Failure. The right question isn't whether leaders are born - it's how we develop them.

From the people
who were actually there

"

I had a 3pm back-to-back so I was genuinely planning to slip out after 20 minutes. I didn't. I'm not sure exactly when that decision happened - somewhere between the prefrontal cortex part and the moment she made a room of 400 procurement professionals laugh at themselves. I flew back and cancelled two vendor contracts we didn't need.

"

I've counted - somewhere around 280 presentations on change management. After 200 you stop expecting surprises. Dorka managed to surprise me. Not in a gimmicky way - more like the feeling when someone explains something you've been doing wrong for years, but without making it humiliating. We had her back six months later for our senior leadership days.

"

I don't write these. Making an exception. Two days after the keynote, three of my direct reports - none of whom knew the others were doing it - sent me essentially the same message. One used the phrase "I finally understand why I've been wrong about my team." I don't know what she did but it worked.

"

She spent maybe 15 minutes methodically taking apart every culture transformation framework I've used for the last seven years. I was in the front row. It was uncomfortable in an extremely useful way - which is not a sentence I expected to say about a keynote. What I didn't expect was to leave with three actual, concrete things I could do on Monday. That almost never happens at these things. Usually it's "you need to be more agile" and a QR code to a podcast.

"

I booked her on a strong abstract and one reference call that was just "you won't regret it." Not a lot to go on. Accurate though. The thing that stays with me is that the science didn't feel like a credential flex - it felt like she was genuinely trying to explain something she finds fascinating. That's rare. Also she's funny in a way that doesn't feel rehearsed, which is even rarer.
