Her work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, nutrition and performance science — helping individuals and teams sustain high performance without sacrificing their mental health and wellbeing. Over two decades, she has built one of the UK's most respected corporate wellbeing practices, working with some of the country's most demanding organisations.
Jeannette is a sought-after keynote speaker and conference chair, regularly appearing on stage at events for the Football Association, League Managers Association and Association of Leaders in Finance. She is also a trusted media expert for the BBC, Sky, ITV and Channel 4, and the author of a Penguin-published book on stress and performance.
Speaking at League Managers Association
MSI was built on a simple belief: that wellbeing interventions only work when they are grounded in science. Every programme we deliver is built on published research in stress physiology, neuroscience, nutrition and psychology.
We work with HR directors, wellbeing leads and senior leadership teams at some of the UK's most pressurised organisations — from emergency services and NHS trusts to FTSE-listed businesses and professional sport.
"Real resilience isn't about working harder. It's about understanding your biology, and using that knowledge to perform better and recover faster."
— Jeannette Jackson, Founder
