Neuroleadership Institute Education

"It was an amazing experience. Expect new material. Expect to shift gears quickly and learn new things. Prepare to be surprised at how quickly you will learn to dance with the material and begin doing great things with it. You will go away with something great."

"Brain-Based Conversation Skills is one of the best courses I have completed in my career. It has changed my whole approach."

"The BBCS content is very rich. The facilitators did a great job covering the material in an interactive and engaging way. Lyn and Bret provided a wealth of knowledge and experience. The peer coaching element was outstanding."

"I put BBC in my development plan two years ago. Today, I see its ripple effect across our organisation, empowering leaders to coach with science-backed tools."

"Being a change agent makes it obvious how important it is to understand the intricacies of the brain. NLI's training provided me with all the skills needed to improve my work. I am a far better listener, more open and positive in my conversations. I could not imagine my work without those brain-friendly skills any more."

"If you have had a conversation with me over the past six months and heard me reference SCARF, amygdala hijacking, or reappraisal, now you know why. I had the privilege of engaging in a six-month programme with professionals from all over the world. As a proud nerd and continuous learner, I highly recommend this programme."

"I feel privileged to have been part of this programme. I learned so much about the brain and how it impacts our behaviour and decision-making. NLI sets itself apart by providing a more effective and engaging coaching experience."

"I gained a huge amount of knowledge and really understand the fundamentals of how neuroscience works. It has elevated the way I have coaching conversations."

"This course elevated my 28-year career. Bret Freeman's facilitation showed how Brain-Based Coaching bridges neuroscience and real-world leadership challenges."

"The SCARF model and TAPS tool are game changers for meaningful workplace conversations. Neuroscience makes coaching more human-centred and impactful."

"Through this programme, I am now better equipped to support my colleagues' development, performance, and well-being, and to foster an inclusive and empowering culture. I look forward to applying these neuroscience-based insights to build a more equal, safe, and empowering workplace for all."

"This programme was truly a life-changing experience. My professors were outstanding and provided me with invaluable insights throughout the learning process."

"What resonated most was the approach of addressing common myths — a powerful learning method that really stuck with me. The concept of simplicity in presentation landed deeply: facilitate for insight, do not share everything at once, and let the learner piece the puzzle together. I also gained a real appreciation for giving people time to process. The course reinforced why this works and gave me the neuroscience behind it. A truly enriching experience — I have already enrolled on the CFN."
