Dr. Steve Rondeau

About

What changes when we stop asking “What’s wrong with you?” and start asking “How does your brain experience the world?” Dr. Steve Rondeau explores how differences in brain function shape parenting, relationships, strengths, emotional reactions, and the ways people cope. His work helps explain why one child thrives under pressure while another shuts down, why partners experience the same conversation differently, and why people get caught in patterns they desperately want to change. An author of the bestselling "Think Like a Brain", and multiple peer-reviewed research, Dr. Steve's team received the 2023 AAMP Award for Medical Innovation. He is the founder and president of Axon EEG Solutions, where his team’s experience analyzing more than 50,000 brain recordings informs his perspective on the individual behind the behavior. Dr. Steve brings brain science into deeply human conversations: recognizing overlooked strengths, validating invisible struggles, understanding addiction, and exploring the complexities of suicide risk. He connects these insights to more compassionate parenting, stronger relationships, and mental health care that considers the individual. Through relatable stories and memorable analogies, he gives listeners a fresh way to understand themselves and the people they love and shows how understanding a behavior can change our response to it.
