About Larissa Ensor

Founder at Peak Catalysts LLC

Neuroscience-Driven Storytelling Expert | Startup Mentor | Business Strategist

With roots in the heart of Brazil and now thriving in Olympia, Washington, I'm a passionate advocate for the power of storytelling, especially when intertwined with the magic of neuroscience.

Leveraging a unique blend of a Journalism background and an MBA in Marketing and Advertising, I've successfully mentored over 60 startups, guiding them through the digital maze with actionable strategies that resonate with the brain's love for stories.

Having transitioned from being a newspaper reporter to running my own consulting business, I've mastered the art of crafting compelling narratives that not only sell but also inspire and drive change.

My graduate certificate in Neuroscience, Behavior, and Performance has been the cherry on top, allowing me to delve deeper into understanding how stories can reshape organizational culture, leadership approaches, and marketing outcomes.

Are you a startup CEO, an executive, or a passionate business owner looking for neuroscience-backed strategies to skyrocket your growth?

Let's connect and weave success stories together!
