Coaching

Investing in coaching is a leap of faith.
So many coaches out there make big promises, but few really deliver. How can you be sure you’ll receive the game-changing guidance and support you’re looking for?
Each of our Brain Science Certified Coaches has completed 90+ hours of specialized training in applied brain and behavioral science. That’s on top of their other credentialing!
That means you can rest assured that your coach is bringing you 100% evidence-based solutions from the very most cutting-edge brain science.Â
Real tools that are scientifically proven to help you tackle your challenges, achieve your goals, and see lasting positive change.
It’s not self-help. It’s science-help.
that harnesses the power of
Mini-Habits. Elastic Habits. WOOP. The Elephant and the Rider. The 90/20 Principle. The Power of Pause. Managing your Willpower Battery. Conquering the Worry Loop. Hope Mapping. Negativity Bias. Behavioral Geofencing. Threat Reframing. Change Blindness. Emotional Attunement. Hardwiring Happiness.Â
These are just a few of the many science-based tools you’ll master in The Brain Science Advantage, our signature course.Â
By taking the course first, you’ll get the biggest bang for your buck. Rather than wasting precious coaching time learning the science, you’ll hit the ground running.Â
In the course, you’ll gain a whole new skillset for personal development. Then, in your 1:1 sessions, our expert coaches will guide you through applying and amplifying these brain-based strategies, putting you on a path to lasting, transformative change.
