Dr. Tamsin Astor is a neuroscientist who studies habits in teams. She is a habit and leadership strategist and helps leaders and organizations transform the way they work, connect, and live — by linking the tiny, daily habits we overlook to the big, legacy-level visions we care about most. With a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience and 20+ years of research-driven practice, she blends habit science, mindfulness, and conscious leadership to help high-impact humans regulate their nervous systems, deepen trust with their teams, and lead from presence rather than pressure.
Her work sits where evidence-based psychology meets humanity. Through workshops, retreats, executive coaching, and long-term organizational partnerships, she brings leaders back to their Big Juicy Why: so decisions feel aligned, relationships strengthen, and teams thrive without burnout or emotional leakage.
She is known for her bold honesty, contagious joy, and ability to turn complex inner work into accessible frameworks like Pause – Notice – Choose, making emotional intelligence practical instead of theoretical. Her programs weave neuroscience with story, embodiment, and humor, helping people feel both seen and stretched — supported and challenged — grounded and awake.
Tamsin has built her career on one truth: when leaders are regulated, resourced, and rooted in purpose, everything changes. Work cultures soften. Innovation returns. People feel safe enough to contribute, speak up, and stay. And success becomes rich, relational, and sustainable: not just profitable.
She’s a mother of three, a lover of live music, travel, dark roast coffee, smoky street tacos and museums, and a regular at Zen meditation sessions and life drawing classes. She believes in truth over polish, connection over performance, and building lives: not just résumés. Her children have been the greatest source of inspiration and learning as she has navigated hospital wards in oncology, nephrology, otolaryngology, immunology, psychiatry, cardiology in her 22 years of parenting!
