Brain-Based Coaching Toolkit

BBCT is built on the principles of brain-based coaching pioneered by David Rock, the founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute. Building on the foundational skills from BBCS®, this advanced programme deepens your mastery of neuroscience-informed coaching through intensive practice, mentoring, and performance evaluation.

BBCT takes the practical neuroscience tools you learned in BBCS® and develops them into professional-level coaching competency. Through coaching in action, individual mentoring sessions, and rigorous assessment, you'll refine your ability to guide leaders, teams, and colleagues through complex challenges with confidence and skill.

While BBCS® provides the essential brain-based coaching framework, BBCT is where you develop true mastery—transforming your foundational knowledge into demonstrated coaching excellence that meets ICF Level 1 standards. Learn more about the full Brain-Based Coaching Certificate →
