Professor Paul Brown PhD

Prof. Paul Brown is the Chairman and Managing Director of ION Consulting International Pte. Ltd. As a practising clinical and organisational psychologist, in 2008 he held the world’s first visiting professorial appointment in organisational neuroscience at London’s South Bank University following his Visiting Professorship in Individual and Organisational Psychology at Nottingham Law School (2002-11). He is now Professor of Organisational Neuroscience, Monarch Business School Switzerland and Visiting Professor at Henley Business School, UK, and attached to three other UK universities for higher degree supervision.
​
He taught annually at the UK’s Royal College of Defence Studies for twenty-five years and has taught as a guest lecturer at the Fulbright / Harvard Kennedy Economics Teaching Program in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. With a long-standing professional advisory interest in how family businesses are handed on to the next generation and in innovation, creativity, start-ups and incubators, his own research interests within the framework of applied neuroscience focus on how to track energy flow in organisations and developing an integrated theory of the individual and the organisation.
Practising for the past fifty years not only as clinical and organisational psychologist but also as an executive coach and supervisor, he has in recent time co-authored Neuropsychology for Coaches: Understanding The Basics (2012: McGraw-Hill/Open University Press); River Dragon (a novel about the ethical dilemmas of an executive coach, 2014: Spartan Press); Neuroscience for Leadership: Harnessing The Brain Gain Advantage (2015 Palgrave Macmillan, which won a category Gold in the 2016 Chartered Management Institute’s ‘Management Book of the Year’ awards); The Fear-Free Organization (2015 Kogan Page); and All the Brains in the Business (2019 Palgrave/Macmillan), exploring the unique contribution, differences, and value that women bring to organisations. He writes an occasional column called Brain Gain for the management publication Developing Leaders. In February 2016, when there were still seventeen Republican candidates in the field, he predicted in print that Donald Trump would become President of the United States and showed within his Limbic Leadership model why that was likely to be the case.
In 2022 and in co-operation with IEDP (www.iedp.com) ION Consulting is starting a new publishing house, ION Press, to create books with special relevance to applied neuroscience in executive coaching and organisational consulting. See here
