Neuroscience to Elevate Coaching, Leadership and Human Potential

For Coaches, Leaders, Professionals
Neuroscience is a language to help people recognize how powerful they actually are.
I help coaches, educators and other professionals use neuroscience to help people find new ways of using their talents, discomforts, failures, and challenges as pathways to growth and evolution.
Bringing the body into our understanding of the mind has been an integral part of my work for almost two decades. From research in labs and in the field, to personalizing and applying embodied principles of science as a counselor, coach and consultant to students, families, coaches and leaders of global organizations.
In my experience, learning about neuroscience in terms of brain 'parts' is not always enough and can be a disembodied, disconnecting approach to helping people understand their own patterns and how to update them in order to achieve a life they really want.
This is why I have been teaching audiences, leaders, coaches, teachers and professionals how to integrate what we know about the brain from peer-reviewed, long-term research, into how this plays out in their bodies.
This embodied knowledge is the key to transformation and creating our desired realities.
We can't live in our minds.
And sometimes learning things from a brain-based perspective actually gets people to be too much in their minds. Knowing a 'concept' doesn't necessarily mean a person can use that to improve their life.
So what do we do? Learn about how it all plays out within the body.
The body serves as an entry point and somatic anchor as to what our mind and heart are doing. Mind-brain-body learning helps us create those bridges.
These are the underpinnings of Nervous System Audits and Client Journey Neuro-Mapping - the two systems I teach all of my clients. I'll be teaching coaches, leaders and professionals how to use these two tools to help them resonate deeply and create touchpoints of trust and buy-in with their clients and audiences so that they can stand more firmly in their expertise and increase opportunities, engagement and buy-in for their services.
The program will start this October, with instant access (right now) to recorded seminars and workshops with foundational embodied neuroscience lessons for coaches, leaders and professionals to help them unlock the mind-brain-body potential of those they serve.
Neuroscience and resilience research shows that once people understand the power of their mind, they access new forms of agency, motivation and a belief in their ability to learn and grow.

About me...
I'm a neuroscience consultant and researcher, spending much of my career measuring physiological factors that underlie human behavior. This includes electric conductance of the skin (GSR), facial electromyography (EMG), heart rate variability, and electroencephalography (EEG).
My graduate research at New York University and fieldwork at the NYU Phelps lab for neuroscience research, the NYU Institute for Prevention Science and Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine focused on the cross-section of self-directed neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, family emotional climates, and empathy.
My clients include MIT, Google, Stanford University, the FBI, Northwestern University, Alberta Children’s Hospital, the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, as well as therapists, coaches, educational consultants, district superintendents, CEOs, yoga instructors, osteopaths, and many more.
I also currently lead and consult on research for CheckIt Learning, Google, and build brain-boosting performance programs at a neuropsychology clinic, where I administer and develop qEEG (brain map)-informed, evidence-based brain-body optimization trainings to improve attention, eye-motor coordination, brain injury rehabilitation, short term memory, attention, reading challenges (dyslexia), executive functioning, sensory sensitivity, social anxiety; training programs include biofeedback (heart rate variability), neurofeedback, eye training, Safe and Sound Protocol, virtual reality simulations and cognitive exercises.
My unique expertise includes:
- Brain mapping (quantitative EEG) for clients and coaches
- Client Nervous System Audits (checklists for helping you understand your client's brain and nervous system- strengths and opportunities)
- Client Journey Neuro-Maps (frameworks for understanding lack of motivation, stagnation, setbacks, and resilience through neurophysiology)
- Trauma-Informed Education
- Neurocognitive Training for Improved Attention, Clarity and High Performance
- Systems Thinking training and graduate fieldwork at the NYU Institute for Prevention Science: how society, culture and family systems influence our brain functioning and attention
But what matters most isn't my credentials -
It's how this work transforms the lives of
professionals and the people they serve...

"very informative and digestible to pass onto others in our work"
"Thank you Stefanie. I run a charitable Trust that has a focus on assisting people with Depression and Anxiety. I follow your podcasts and have got my partner onto them as well. We both find these so helpful in our line of work (She is a clinical psychologist) and find your content very informative and very digestible to pass onto others in our work. Thank you for what you do." - A. Jackson

"practices that I have learned, embodied and now teach my clients"
"I’ve been following Stefanie and her work for years. I was introduced to her work at a workshop when I was a special ed teacher. I immediately was fascinated and at the time felt called to embody growth mindset myself before trying to teach it to children. I attended many of her weekend incentives and also masterminds. Her podcast and content have great value! Especially if you are in any role of authority and leadership. These are practices that I have learned, embodied and now also teach my clients as an entrepreneur." - S. Streit, Teacher

"life-changing insights"
"Your comments about perseverance gained by applying our strengths to a self-transcendent purpose have informed our practices around how we at Harrigan Solutions develop our employees. Thanks for these life-changing insights." - Bill Harrigan, CEO

As humans, we are not born with self-regulation capacities...
Today- this year- it is more important than ever to get better at regulating our emotions and nervous systems.
