April 05, 2025The Power of Your Five Brains: Neuroscience-Based Leadership with Dr. Carlos Davidovich
In this transformative episode of BizBlend, host Sana speaks with internationally acclaimed executive coach, TEDx speaker, and author Dr. Carlos Davidovich. Together, they explore how understanding the metaphor of our “five brains” — survival, emotional, rational, heart, and gut — can radically enhance leadership, decision-making, and emotional intelligence. Drawing from his books Five Brain Leadership and Personality DNA, Carlos shares how internal self-leadership is the key to thriving in a volatile world, and how vulnerability plus accountability unlocks true power in business and life.
About the Guest:
Dr. Carlos Davidovich is a medical doctor and neuroscience-driven executive coach based in Madrid, Spain. With decades of experience bridging medicine, business, and leadership development, Carlos empowers individuals and organizations to lead consciously. His signature model of Five Brain Leadership integrates brain science into practical leadership tools, and his book Personality DNA helps people identify their natural strengths to lead authentically.
Key Takeaways:
We don’t just have one brain — we operate from five: survival, emotional, rational, heart, and gut, each offering unique insight.
Effective leadership begins with leading your inner team of brains mindfully and intentionally.
Emotional intelligence and understanding the limbic system are critical for conflict resolution and better communication.
Leaders often blame external situations, but real power lies in self-accountability and embracing vulnerability.
80% of decision-making is emotionally and instinctively driven; rationality plays only a 20% role.
Communication isn’t about being your best self — it’s about speaking the language of the other person.
