"I'm seeing all my work start to click"

“Before this, I didn’t know how or where to start, or how to connect the pieces of how neuroscience fit in to my work. But because of this program, I am now seeing all my work start to click, expand, and evolve into something I can truly apply and use in my life and with my clients.”

 

- Neuro Leader Participant

Neuro-Leader Foundations provides neuroscience education to equip
coaches, consultants, leaders and professionals to:

  • enhance or develop existing frameworks, programs, grant proposals, projects, marketing material

    and content for social media and websites with neuroscience research and validation for their existing expertise and practices;

  • develop, enhance and facilitate language and support materials that they provide to clients in order to help them better understand their brain and nervous system;

  • develop their understanding of brain-body science to create new projects, programs, frameworks, presentations or initiatives in order to increase buy-in from stakeholders and participants;

  • attract interest, engagement, and buy-in from new and existing clients, audiences, and stakeholders by integrating neuroscience language & understanding into their existing work.

Personal development is entering a new era.

Concrete, measurable and tangible measures of how people transform and improve their performance and wellbeing are taking center stage.

But a lot of the ‘neuro-talk’ you see is just that. It’s talk.

It’s people who have taken an online course here and there, or who have read many articles about brain functioning - doing their best to translate it into something applicable. It’s wonderful to see.

… And at the same time…

it’s creating a sea of sameness. People learning the same ideas from neuroscience that make them sound like everyone else who explains that concept.

Learning the typical kind of neuroscience you see out there from books, podcasts and other ‘neuro-classes’ isn’t going to cut it.

It’s not going to get people to notice your insights more than all the other information that’s out there because most people have already heard the same thing from someone else.

You need a language that helps you stand out AND helps YOUR audience understand themselves in a new way. And you need to get to a deeper place than the neuroscience that most people know about…

To increase your impact and attract new engagement, you need to:

1) ATTRACT attention and

2) HOLD attention.

Two components are critical for attracting and then holding people’s attention (whether they are new/ideal clients or existing ones):

NOVELTY and RESONANCE.

Most coaches are getting their neuroscience information from the same sources and lacking novelty. It’s becoming harder to stand out.

They are also using neuroscience that is very focused on the brain. This can lead to lack of resonance because audiences can’t confirm or deny what is being shared because they have no idea that a certain system in their brain is activating or not.   They only know what they embody, feel, sense, and live.

The Neuroscience Tools & Systems you will get in this course will help you tune into what people FEEL and EXPERIENCE.

This gives you an edge within a highly competitive attention economy.

And here's one more thing to keep in mind...

Neuroscience is NOT all about the brain

.

A lot of neuroscience-based content and training out there gives everyone the same types of content. You learn about different brain regions, how they operate and optimize.

But in real life, you will NEVER know which area of the brain is actually activating in any particular way.

You will not know that, for example, maybe the anterior cingulate has hyper-coherent activity.

But you CAN know what your body, breath, eyes, voice and hands are doing.

It's about our embodied experience as humans and it's about knowing how to create change by having instant feedback about what our state is and how what we are doing is affecting us and others.

 

That’s what I help coaches, leaders, and organizations tap into. It’s the power of science, supported by your confidence, authenticity and knowing what you know.

Learn how to build neuroscience into your understanding and messaging to increase engagement and attract new audiences and opportunities

"Elevating"

"What was so insightful was taking the practices I employ in my work with families and underpinning it with science…

but more than just familiar neuroscientific findings I’ve read about before. No, this was different

- it was nuanced and honedin on the underlying principles of why I do what I do with families.

Stefanie gently guided me to understand that what once felt intuitive to me as a practitioner is firmly rooted in science.
Very grateful to work with Stefanie as I elevate my practices."

- LISA LOW, EDUCATIONAL CONSULTANT, BEYOND BRIDGES EDUCATION

WHAT I SEE A LOT OF COACHES & CONSULTANTS DOING...

♻️ summarizing the science they've read in articles or heard in podcasts (so they all end up sounding kind of the same);

🧠 learning neuroscience that is very focused on the brain (which doesn’t always help people resonate with their visceral, embodied experiences, so you end up not connecting with your audience)

❓ wanting to have neuroscience at more of the forefront but not sure how (or not feeling confident enough to do so);

🧩 considering going back to school to enhance their services or expertise (but not having the time or money to do it).

There's another option.


Get a personalized, science-supported SYSTEM and community to help you STAND OUT in a crowded ocean of professionals, so you boost buy-in AND attract new audiences to your work.

"Incredible"

"Working with Stefanie has been incredible. The confidence with which I am now able to present my material is so much stronger that it's actually attracted a team of coaches to my program that want to join forces and actually facilitate and deliver the coaching method that Stefanie and I have been working with together and collaborating on.

If you're thinking about working with Stefanie to elevate your program or coaching with neuroscience,

it will be the best decision you've ever made. I 100% recommend it. "

- RYAN SAWYER, Founder of IHP Coaching

My Story

Years ago, I witnessed students I worked with undergo a significant shift in self-belief, altering their life's direction. These shifts sparked my curiosity about the mind's ability to change from unhealthy behaviors and negative cycles to new paths. This led me to study neuropsychology, focusing on self-directed neuroplasticity, mindset, and unconscious processes affecting our physiology and interactions.

Understanding the mechanics behind mind shifts, I shared these insights with schools, organizations, and individuals, helping them make positive life changes.

My work then expanded to teaching 'helpers'—teachers, parents, leaders—about the science behind their impact. This knowledge transformed my personal and professional life, attracting global audiences and leading to partnerships with influential organizations. Now, I blend neuroscience and mindset transformation to help clients enhance their expertise and global impact.

Clients who have used my services have attracted entire new teams of coaches who want to work with them, have been accepted to speak for massive global audiences like TED talks, and Mindvalley, and have reached completely new audiences by having a clear, science informed message about the benefits of their work.

"In one single session, I now have clarity about what I need to do and where to go next."

- Z., Director of research at MIT

Over the course of 6 weeks, you'll explore 2 neuroscience tools to use as a system for creating content, generating new ideas and getting clarity about:

- your clients' neurobiology and what's needed to help them grow;

- your gifts and intuitive wisdom (from a neuroscience perspective), and how these play a role in your career path;

- how society, relationships and family systems influence your and your clients' brains and nervous systems.

The program consists of:

  • 6 Live group workshops

  • 6 Live Q & A sessions

  • Submitting content for group discussion

  • Personalized feedback from Stefanie

  • Immediate access to a 9-module Online Seminar Series

  • Community forum for sharing ideas, inspiration, getting feedback and building connections

  • Follow-up meeting to help you integrate and apply what you learned

Curriculum and Program

PHASE I

Client Nervous Systems

Weeks 1, 2, 3:  Client Nervous System Audits + Family-Social Neuro-Dynamics:

The first session each week will focus on neuroscience education related to Nervous System Audits & Family-Social Neuro-Dynamics:

  • how brains develop AND how they can be intentionally changed through neuroscience-informed processes.

  • a map to help you and your clients understand how relational, sociocultural and family dynamics influence nervous system and brain functioning.  

  • worksheets and diagrams to show you 5 particular brain activity patterns, heart & breathing, eyes, face, voice, ears, body mechanisms can give you PROFOUND insights into their state, intentions and levels of motivation, anxiety, stagnation and regulation

  • how to Conduct Client Nervous System Audits to take inventory of client behaviors and needs through the lens of brain development, nervous system regulation and nonverbal signals

The 2nd session each week will be for specific questions and group discussion about YOUR nervous system audit worksheets and reflections.

Outcome: Become more fluent in a neuroscience-informed language & understanding
that promotes self-awareness and self-leadership.

"Accessible and deeply meaningful"

"I consider Stefanie my neuroscience teacher, and studying her body of work keeps me in the practice of using neuroscience as a powerful lens to understand my teaching more deeply and from a research-backed perspective. She is one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve ever encountered, with a unique ability to make neuroscience accessible and deeply meaningful for teachers. - Charles Krigbaum, Founder and Director- North Texas School of Talent Education

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this for and who is this not for?

This training is not for people who only care about quick fixes. This is for anyone who is creating a leadership role for themselves within their community or organization.  It’s for people who want to leave their mark and create positive change.  

This training IS interactive. Your commitment to reflecting on the tools presented and doing your best to ask questions and offer your own examples and ideas to the group WILL result in a sense of confidence and clarity about human transformation that you likely have never experienced before and that will come out in your work - often on subconscious levels, but also in ways you will visibly, viscerally and audibly notice.

This training is about creating a path for you that fulfills and excites you and continuously brings you more opportunity for helping others and sharing your wisdom.

What’s different about this program compared with other professional development trainings?

1) Neuroscience is the core curriculum, not an addition

The biggest difference is that the neuroscience and neurobiology information is the centerpiece of the curriculum, rather than a side-note.   The reason for this is that my experience and research show that when people truly understand and internalize the mechanics, and ‘inner workings’ of the mind, mental states, emotions, they are better able to a) replicate it because these processes are now conscious and b) explain it to others because they have the correct wording for it and a step-by-step explanation, rather than noticing things without knowing ‘why’.

2) Personalized, Authentic Connection-Building

I’m moving away from the increasingly popular model of an ‘expert’ getting people to pay for their knowledge, but then packaging it for the masses and having little to no actual interaction with the participants.  This model goes against what I teach – presence, connection and ‘psychological safety’ are core needs for learning.  This can be done through technology (for example, in the video conference sessions), but I hope to model trust- and empathy-building with students in ‘real time’ – because that is how they will be interacting with the people they are leading.   

3) Follow-Through and Follow-Up Incentives

Most training programs don’t give you incentive to actually take any action.  Because you will be sharing what you already know and practice, you will be challenged to implement your insights and apply neuroscience directly into your work.  Follow-Up: the community we build will give you a chance to re-connect and share insights and challenges with your fellow participants.  I really want to see leaders have the impact they know they can have, and I think having a chance to follow up with community members will help them refine their long-term impact.  

What is the format of the sessions?

Monday sessions will be focused on education: learning about the various aspects of brains, nervous systems, behaviors, motivations, etc., with relevant research.

Wednesday sessions will be entirely devoted to participant questions, challenges, examples, ideas. I will bring up any content or questions that were submitted ahead of time (via a google doc form) and then we will explore questions, challenges and content that any of the participants wish to share during that time. If time goes over and we haven't addressed all of the questions, I will offer an additional session to go over these.

After each session, all participants will receive the recordings and summaries of the session. For those who are not able to attend live, we will send you a time stamp so you can skip ahead to the part of the session that addresses your questions, ideas, content or client examples.

When are the trainings and office hours?

Here is the timeline for 2025:


*additional group sessions will be added if needed to work with international time zones and number of participants.

Instant access to 9 online modules: as soon as you register

Group Training Days: Every Monday starting October 13 until November 17 (6 weeks)
**morning or afternoon session depending on your time zone)

Q&A discussion and getting feedback on your nervous system audit/client journey map and ANY other content you'd like feedback on (social media posts, website, course curriculum, presentations, etc.):
Every Wednesday Starting October 15 until November 19 (6 weeks)

**morning or afternoon session depending on your time zone)

Bonus Follow-Up Meeting: December (TBD with group input)

What if I can't make a group training?

There will be recordings for all of them that you can access any time. For Q&A/Feedback meetings, you can submit your work or questions for feedback and even if you can't make it, I will address them during the session and send you the recording with time stamp for when your question or content for feedback comes up.

There are people attending from all over the world, so the times are based on what can work best for multiple time zones. Office hours and private sessions will be scheduled to accommodate the group's availability as best we can.

What is the benefit of the Client Nervous System Audits?

Great question! With this program, you'll get a better sense of what's happening 'under the hood' with people you serve and work with (as well as yourself).

In my experience, when people get a better sense of what their clients' patterns might be in terms of brainwave activity, heart rhythms, voice frequency and verbal patterns, limb and body movement, socio-family dynamics that influence brain architecture... this sparks MASSIVE change in their ability to resonate with and heighten their clients' attention, motivation and clarity about what might be blocking them from achieving their highest potential, and what they can do on a very concrete, tangible level to access their most optimized functioning.

So many recommendations are too universal. For example, some people have brainwaves and visible/audible signals that might indicate past adverse experiences or high anxiety. Knowing these types of things can inform our practices. For example, not everyone can do a closed eye meditation at first - they might do better with open eye types of exercises FIRST. Having a sense of where they're at based on body signals (and understanding of potential brain patterns) can help us refine and personalize how we teach and lead others.

With the nervous system audits, you are getting training in how to apply PERSONALIZED, concrete science-supported information about where a person is at, and what they can do to expand into where they want to go and how they want to experience life.

What are the Q&A/feedback sessions for?

These sessions give you a chance to present (to a wider audience) your own examples and reflections about YOUR clients and YOUR practices and anything you would like to present to your own, clients, staff, audiences and communities. It's a chance to share your wisdom with my network and to get personlized feedback from me, as well as feel the support of a vibrant, open-minded international community learners! In these sessions, we'll talk about how you can integrate neuroscience into your work in order to boost engagement and interest with new and existing audiences, clients and communities.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes! After you've attended the first group session, you can ask for a full refund.

What if I'm not ready to decide right now? Will there still be spots later?

This is your only chance for 2025! I only hold this once a year, and this is an introductory price! I do not offer private sessions to the public and consulting services with me are way beyond the tuition of this program. There will be limited spots so that I can ensure everyone gets some feedback. All of my programs sell out - so my suggestion is that if it sounds like it aligns with you, sign up and if you decide it's not the right fit after you've attended our first group training, you can request a refund.

What if I can't attend most the dates offered?

You can still gain A LOT from watching the videos, putting your reflections into the tools and frameworks I give you (either by writing them down or even voice recording or doing video recordings) that you can submit to me any time! I will review what you share and give you that personal feedback that will help you gain massive clarity about your clients and also how YOUR wisdom and work is supported by science.
