Why the Transcript Is Essential:

Image opens in lightbox
  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients

Angela Lawrence

“I really liked being able to follow along with the transcripts as I listened…it was nice not to feel like I had to take notes. I really feel like I remember more when I both hear and see at the same time.”

These Teachers Know How to Dig In and Turn Complex Principles into Simple, Flexible Applications

They’ll share how they used brain science to help their clients change their lives in ways they never expected – and how you can do the same.

Though we often want to motivate our patients with neurobiology, many of us struggle to frame the complicated scientific language in terms our patients will understand.

With this program, you’ll get the tools you need to make brain science a simple, effective, and practical intervention for both you and your patients.

The new brain science can change lives.

Because of this, we are never satisfied by the status quo. We are passionate about finding the most effective and innovative approaches for getting deeper and more rapid ways to reduce suffering and enrich people’s lives.

We Search Out the Most Creative Practitioners Who Have Developed Extraordinary Methods for Getting Results

It doesn’t matter if they are well known or totally unknown. What matters is that they have an exceptional approach that is a cut above the rest.

And when we find them, we hone in on exactly what it is they are doing that makes such a remarkable difference so that we can teach other practitioners how to get the same results with their patients.

If you are the kind of practitioner who also has a burning desire to find the best ways to help people change, who will go way beyond expectations to be the best that you can possibly be, come join us as we identify what it is that makes these innovative thinkers so successful in their work.
