FEATURED SPEAKER – MARCH

DR. CHELSEA SHIELDS

Dr. Chelsea Shields is a dual-PhD biological and cultural anthropologist and global
communication strategist who has spent over 20 years studying how humans think, feel, trust,
and take action—often without words. Her research focuses on social placebo effects and the
end-user experience: how visual cues, symbolism, expectation, and emotional signaling shape
human perception and behavior at a biological level. From years of longitudinal fieldwork with
Indigenous healers in West Africa to large-scale consumer research across modern markets,
Chelsea’s work reveals a core truth: communication is a physiological and emotional experience
before it is a rational one.
