Meet Eduardo Villavicencio

---

Eduardo is a master facilitator, performance coach, and public speaker with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and organizations navigate change, strengthen performance, and unlock human potential.

With a background in technology leadership, adult learning, and change management, Eduardo brings both strategic insight and relational depth to his work. He is a certified Prosci Change Management Practitioner and holds multiple coaching and facilitation credentials, including Gallup Strengths Coaching, Listening Intelligence (LQ) Coaching, and Certified Xchange Guide. His work integrates models such as ADKAR, SAM, and the SAFET-Y Model to design learning experiences that support not just understanding—but real, lasting transformation.

Eduardo’s approach is grounded in the belief that growth happens when people feel safe enough to engage fully. His work in trauma-informed strengths bridges Internal Family Systems (IFS) with CliftonStrengths, helping individuals recognize that what may feel like limitation or protection often carries intelligence, history, and strength. Rather than overriding these patterns, he helps people work with them—creating greater self-awareness, compassion, and effectiveness.

Through the lens of the S.A.F.E.T.Y.™️ model, developed by Dr Dan Radecki of the Academy of Brain-Based Leadership (ABL), Eduardo supports leaders and teams in understanding how the nervous system shapes engagement, communication, and the ability to adapt in times of change.

Eduardo is a co-author of Fortaleza: Stories of Strength Drawn from Mind, Body, and Soul, an anthology that highlights resilience and the enduring strength of the human spirit. His contribution reflects a deep belief that transformation is often born through challenge—and that our stories hold both meaning and possibility.

With a bilingual and multicultural background, Eduardo brings a global perspective shaped by living and working across cultures and languages. He also carries an entrepreneurial spirit, having founded and led an innovation training company for over a decade.

At the Neuroscience Summit, Eduardo brings a powerful integration of strengths-based development, trauma-informed awareness, and brain-based leadership, offering a path toward growth that honors both performance and the human experience beneath it.
