Neuroscience for Change equips leaders and individuals with the right tools, information, and structure to thrive during times of change.

Understand your brain with Neuroscience for Change Certification

The human brain is one of the most complex systems on earth with around 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections, that’s more than 100,000km of interconnections!

We are not wired for change; instead, we are wired to first resist. Neuroscience for Change teaches candidates to label and understand the neuroscience behind change and raise conscious awareness to an otherwise unconscious process.

The framework behind the Neuroscience for Change certification offers a unique, scientific, evidence-based approach to support all forms of change. It provides learners with a practical yet powerful neuroscience-based framework to leverage benefits from change and thrive when experiencing the challenges of high volumes of simultaneous changes. The course teaches those impacted by change how their brain processes information and how the brain reacts to the uncertainty created by change.

Develop your brain with the PEPE© Model

Master the powerful and proven PEPE© model, a framework based on neuroscientific research of why the brain will always first resist change. PEPE© is the go-to solution for anyone wishing to cope with high-volume change and challenging situations by building resilience, engagement, and well-being.

Train your brain

Learners will be shown easy-to-apply brain-friendly techniques for successfully adopting new ways of working in a structured way. Candidates will gain an understanding of the basics of Neuroscience, how change impacts the brain, and how to manage these reactions for the best outcome to transformation. As change is a constant and inevitable universal experience, this framework applies to all levels of professionals including staff, managers, and executives. The course leads to a globally recognised certification for all those impacted by change and can be targeted as a coaching and management qualification and a leadership qualification.

TESTIMONIALS

If you want to be effective in helping people through change at work, you need to understand our brains and how to leverage brain science to reduce the threats and enhance the rewards associated with transition. This course lays it all out: the science, the implications for change efforts, and the strategies for working with our nervous systems instead of against them. The learning gels because it takes place in a group that includes lots of smart people from diverse backgrounds who are all sharing stories and examples and making connections with the content as you go. After completing the program, I find myself going back to the PEPE model every time I'm working with a leader or team that's 'stuck' or looking to design a change and transition process that considers the people side and treats the nervous system as a true stakeholder.

Janice Hendrick - Founder & Chief Connection Officer

I really enjoyed the course, a great balance between learning about the science and applying it to day-to-day management of change. I loved the section about how to best engage with people and recognize the different approaches everyone has when dealing with change.

Samantha Clark - Head of Individual Dispute Resolution

Neuroscience for Change confirmed some of the behaviors and brain reactions that I have experienced and observed while working on various change initiatives. The main takeaway for me is the importance of understanding that our brain is like a sophisticated machine that needs to be looked after: the brain needs the right fuel, reward, and sometimes threat to perform to the best of its abilities to be at peak and deliver. However, everything needs to be in balance so our brain also needs to recharge batteries, time to reflect is also needed in order to be ready for next peak time to work on full speed. So this course is like a great recipe / instruction manual how to manage and maintain human brain especially brains of people involved in change initiatives.

Marta Morawska - Change Lead

It was insightful to understand why people act the way they do when they are going through change - especially the impact on our brains and energy levels. The course provided tools and techniques of how to best support people throughout the change process and what factors we need to consider. I've started to use the course to consider how and when we celebrate successful change. I would highly recommend to those in delivering change and those managing/supporting others in a changing environment.
