Grant ‘Upbeat’ Bosnick is an Author, Keynote Speaker, and Musician, and the Managing Director of YES (Your Empowering Solutions), a boutique HR consultancy.

With a background in psychology and neuroscience, he has partnered with over a hundred Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 clients for 25 years to transform people’s mindsets and behaviour to achieve results and perform at a higher level.

He loves switching on light bulbs with people

 – triggering those ‘aha moments’ – insights – that change mindsets and open up new possibilities.

His passion is all about helping people, teams and organizations re-imagine the future, not for a new normal, but for a ‘better’ normal… His new book, Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite-Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience, was published by Routledge in 2023.

Focused on driving organizational change and performance improvement, Grant partners with clients to design and deliver keynote talks and solutions, aligned with corporate strategy and organizational processes, that transform leaders’ and teams’ mindsets and behaviour, to become more inclusive, have purpose and alignment, engage others, manage change, innovate and perform at a higher level.

He started his career as a Senior Manager in the entertainment, professional fund-raising, and energy industries, leading diverse multicultural teams. Using psychology and neuroscience, he engages leaders and teams to explore multiple perspectives, understand themselves deeply, drive change and transform behaviour – to achieve results and develop global leaders and teams for a rapidly changing and complex environment.

He has worked with 100+ Fortune 500 and FTSE 100 companies in the financial services, tech, engineering, retail, advertising, pharmaceutical and energy industries, among others.

An accomplished drummer

He is also an accomplished drummer, music producer and director. Having played drums and percussion for over 35 years, he has toured North America, recorded 13 albums and produced several live multicultural interdisciplinary shows, including for the Canadian Embassy and for Apple. He is also the creator of Upbeat® – a heightened mental state that enhances focus, attention, energy, flow and insight; and as a collective, sharpens teamwork and problem-solving. One of the best ways to facilitate this is through the neuroscience of drumming. This signature experience is ideal for company offsites, conferences, kick offs and townhalls.
