TJ Power

Why organisations work with TJ Power

• He gives wellbeing programmes a scientific spine. The DOSE framework names the specific neurochemistry behind motivation, connection, mood, and recovery, so HR and L&D leaders can move beyond generic mindfulness content.
• He addresses the dopamine and screen problem head-on, which is the single biggest unmanaged variable in workplace attention right now and the area most wellbeing speakers skirt.
• His material has been pressure-tested at scale: 650-plus live sessions across organisations including Amazon, Salesforce, Accenture, Coca-Cola, TikTok, the NHS, and academic institutions including Oxford, Harrow, and Le Rosey.
• The credibility is real and verifiable: Sunday Times bestseller, Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month, peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Cognition, lecturing record at the University of Exeter.
• Sessions are designed as gamified, interactive formats rather than lectures, so the habits stick beyond the room.

Biography highlights

• Founder of the DOSE Lab and co-founder of Neurify, a neuroscience education organisation launched in 2022.
• Author of The DOSE Effect, Sunday Times bestseller and Waterstones Best Non-Fiction Book of the Month.
• Former lecturer at the University of Exeter, where he developed a third-year module on the neuroscience of mindfulness.
• Published research in the Journal of Cognition.
• Delivered 650-plus live neuroscience sessions to clients including Amazon, Salesforce, Accenture, Coca-Cola, TikTok, the NHS, Oxford University, Harrow School, and Le Rosey.
• Featured on ITV’s This Morning discussing digital habits and dopamine overload.

Biography

Modern work is colliding with a brain that was not built for it. Constant notifications, infinite scroll, and the dopamine economics of phones are eroding attention, recovery, and mood faster than most wellbeing programmes can respond. Power’s work starts here, with the neurochemistry that explains why so many people feel wired, distracted, and flat at the same time.

His DOSE framework is built around four chemicals that govern how people feel and perform: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Each maps to a specific organisational outcome. Dopamine sits behind motivation and focus; oxytocin behind trust and team connection; serotonin behind mood and confidence; endorphins behind resilience under load. Power names the daily behaviours that raise or drain each one, which gives leaders something concrete to act on.

The credentials are substantive. He completed his degrees in psychology and neuroscience at the University of Exeter, lectured there on the neuroscience of mindfulness, and published in the Journal of Cognition. He went on to found the DOSE Lab and co-found Neurify, and his book The DOSE Effect became a Sunday Times bestseller and Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month. The applied work is broad: 650-plus sessions delivered into Amazon, Salesforce, Accenture, Coca-Cola, TikTok, the NHS, Oxford, Harrow, and Le Rosey.

What makes him useful in a corporate room is the translation layer. The science is real, but the takeaway is a short list of behaviours a finance team or a sales floor can actually run on Monday morning.
