Neelu Kaur is an organizational psychologist and self-advocacy specialist who empowers individuals and teams to speak up, innovate, and drive meaningful change in the workplace. With a unique approach that bridges business strategy, behavioral science, and wellness, she equips professionals with the tools to articulate their value and contribute more confidently and effectively.
Drawing on over 15 years of experience in leadership development and organizational transformation, Neelu combines academic rigor with lived experience. She holds a bachelor’s degree from NYU Stern School of Business and a master’s in Social and Organizational Psychology from Columbia University. Her training also includes certification as a Master Practitioner in NeuroLinguistic Programming, as well as extensive experience in yoga and Ayurveda, offering a distinctive lens through which to support both professional growth and personal wellbeing.
Neelu’s passion for self-advocacy stems from her own experience navigating the workplace as the daughter of Indian immigrants in the United States. Despite academic and professional success, she often struggled to have her ideas heard and valued. This personal challenge became the catalyst for her book, Be Your Own Cheerleader, and now forms the heart of her work with individuals and organizations seeking to foster inclusive, innovation-driven environments.
With a client base that includes global brands such as Google, Bloomberg and Sony Music, Neelu is trusted by organizations seeking to unlock the hidden potential in their teams. Her keynotes blend relatable storytelling with practical strategies, enabling professionals—particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds—to advocate for themselves, contribute boldly, and accelerate their impact.
Neelu’s mission is to transform the workplace into a space where every voice is not only heard, but celebrated as a source of innovation and growth.
