Top UK Doctor & Brain Expert Launches UK Tour to Supercharge Happiness and Business Growth Through Emotional Intelligence
By Business Editor
A groundbreaking new UK tour from neurologist and brain expert Dr Andrew Curran is set to help professionals and business leaders unlock peak performance — by combining cutting-edge neuroscience, live music, and the transformative power of emotional intelligence (EQ).
According to a recent article from Harvard Business School Online, research has shown that emotional intelligence is the highest ranked attribute of successful businesses.
They state: "emotional intelligence is what helps you successfully coach teams, manage stress, deliver feedback, and collaborate with others.”
In today’s business world, where technical skills are expected, EQ has become the true differentiator between average and outstanding performance.
Dr Curran, 67, with more than 40 years of experience behind him, brings this to life in a show unlike anything else — part masterclass in brain science, part live concert, and part leadership workshop.
Dr Curran said: “I’ve spent the majority of my career specialising in the brain and neurobiology, and using this knowledge to train professionals in the understanding and application of emotional intelligence".
“Joy and high performance aren’t abstract ideals — they’re hard-wired into our neural circuitry. When we bring science and song together, we don’t just feel better — we lead better, connect better, and grow better. And our organisations work far more powerfully with bigger growth.”
Dr Curran’s workshops are unique and extraordinary:
• Neuroscience & Biology: Drawing on decades as a consultant paediatric neurologist, Dr Curran breaks down the biology of emotional intelligence — how self-awareness, emotional regulation, social awareness, and relationship management are hard-wired into the brain. Attendees learn not just why EQ matters, but how it works.
• Live Music Experience: Midway through, science turns into sound. With his band, Dr Curran performs original songs designed to activate key neural pathways — rhythm to stimulate motor circuits, melody to enhance emotional regulation, and shared musical experience to release bonding hormones. This isn’t just a talk; it’s a visceral experience that audiences feel.
• Business Growth Tool kit: Attendees leave with practical, science-backed strategies to enhance self-awareness, manage stress, build stronger relationships, and lead with greater empathy — the very skills Harvard identifies as central to effective leadership and long-term organisational success.
The Harvard Business School article highlights that emotional intelligence isn’t a “soft skill” — it’s a core capability driving high-performing teams and resilient leadership.
By weaving this research into a powerful live experience, Dr Curran transforms theory into practice, offering organisations a strategic advantage: use the science of emotion and the rhythm of music to boost happiness, connection, and business growth.
Dr Curran added: “Emotional intelligence isn’t optional anymore — it’s absolutely essential for businesses that want to boost productivity, innovation, and sustainable growth.”
