Neuroscience gives us clues into what drives our behavior - and what motivates us to change and develop growth and agile mindsets and lasting leadership traits and competencies.

Cardiac coherence is a measurable state of physiological balance, where the mind and heart align. The entire human biological system becomes more regular and stable, that makes us feel good and perform at higher levels.

Mindfulness is the science of being focused and present - a process of regulating attention and sharpening the mind, so that you can bring presence and high-resolution awareness to your daily work and switch from reactive to creative behavior.

I didn’t know what to expect. My goals were to improve my stress management, self-confidence and to improve my leadership skills because I had a team to lead for the first time. I’ve learned to be a coach and I received many compliments from my team members. I gained more confidence. During my performance review, my boss also told me that she noticed a change in my behavior since starting the program, so for me that was a really big win. And it is not just others; I also feel that I am not the same person. What is most important is to be myself.  And now I am myself. I’m me with my strengths and weaknesses. I can see a big difference between the start of the class and now and I am very thankful. Tools that I have been given are part of my daily life, and there is not a day when I do not use what I’ve learned.
