Brain-Based Conversation Skills

BBCS® is built on the principles of brain-based coaching pioneered by David Rock, the founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute. It focuses on practical neuroscience tools you can use to guide leaders, teams, and colleagues through challenges, gain clarity, and take purposeful action.

While BBCS® is part of the broader Brain-Based Coaching framework, this course is designed to give you actionable skills you can apply immediately—whether you’re new to coaching or looking to enhance your existing practice. Learn more about the full Brain-Based Coaching approach →
