Neuroscience Certified Coach
Facilitate rapid and lasting change as a Neuroscience Certified Coach
Our understanding of the human brain has evolved significantly over the past two decades, and neuroscience is more popular than ever before. While this is great news for those in the field of coaching, it makes it more important than ever to get the right education and training.
We believe that coaching needs to be backed by evidence-based neuroscience, using a solution-focused approach, and delivered with well-developed client-centered competencies. With these three pillars supporting you, you will become a confident and skillful coach.
Neuroscience-Based
Learn key applied neuroscience concepts in easy-to-understand terms: the what, why, and how of neuroscience-based coaching.
Solution-Focused
Help your clients achieve goals, solve problems, and make effective decisions with powerful coaching techniques.
Client-Centered
Cultivate trust, maintain presence and listen actively, evoke awareness and facilitate client growth.

This course has been phenomenal. The weeks went by too quickly. The content is of real value and the teachers are really committed and invested in teaching us to become the best coach we can be. Eye-opening, challenging and feeling this real growth in knowledge and experience while going through the weeks of the course. I would recommend this course to anyone that is interested and invested in pursuing a coaching career. The neuroscience part gives you this extra in dept knowledge and understanding of how our brain, hormones and physiology impact our body, mind and feelings. I really loved this extra in dept knowledge we gained. Thank you, Ramon and Divya, for everything!

As a recovering alcoholic and addict with many other behavioral issues that needed addressing, I became fascinated with the brain and was relieved to find out my issues could be addressed by partnering with the brain in a change process. When I decided I wanted to share my experience and the gift of change with others, I looked for a neuroscience program that would deepen my understanding of how the brain works, how it helps us change our unwanted patterns, and how to coach others that want to achieve similar transformation. I loved the BrainFirst Level I program SO much, I signed on for the Level II program!! Ramon is a great teacher and mentor. You will be thrilled with the course!

I enjoyed the program and the instructors and learned a great deal. The structure of the program is well thought out and made learning easy. The depth of neuroscience content is much appreciated. It was very beneficial to have the neuroscience lessons prior to the solution-focused and ICF content sessions each week. Ramon is a great teacher and provided excellent examples for our understanding. I never felt bored or tired but eager to learn and apply the information. Divya too is an excellent instructor and I found great value in her examples and how she approached teaching the content. She is relatable and allowed the perfect amount of time for peer coaching and exploration of the core competencies in addition to ethics. I would highly recommend this program to others and look forward to becoming ACC credentialed and returning for level 2. Thank you! Robyn

The neuroscience coaching program is a beautifully crafted course. I enjoyed every session and I loved the connection to the rest of the group throughout this time. Looking at the potential of human behavior from the two different perspectives of neuroscience and solution-focused coaching was truly inspiring. I can already see how my coachees benefit from what I've learned. Can't wait to keep going on my journey to become a coach. Thanks for an excellent experience!
