£362.00

Discover the neuroscience of the brain’s hidden drivers of behaviour.

A practical programme for coaches, trainers, leaders and practitioners

Grounded in neuroscience and experiential learning, this training offers clear insights into why people do what they do and how meaningful change truly begins.

As a coach, this training gives you clear and up-to-date neuro insights into how your clients’ brains, and your own function.

You’ll discover why some interventions truly create impact while others barely make a difference, and how to support the brain in achieving real, sustainable change.

You’ll learn what people need in order to stay flexible, meet challenges with calm and confidence, and think in terms of possibilities rather than limitations.

We explore how connection, trust, and creativity arise within teams and within the coaching relationship.

In this way, you develop a brain-friendly approach to coaching that not only deepens understanding but also helps your clients grow more effectively.

Self mastery through Neuroscience

Selfmastery through neuroscience training

 

Would you like to master a step-by-step neuroplasticity framework and see how to use it directly with clients through real demonstrations and practical exercises?

Gain the confidence to help your clients reshape their inner voices and achieve breakthrough change.

The Selfmastery through neuroscience training translates cognitive and emotional processes into simple, accessible language and practical tools you can use immediately with clients or teams.

For coaches, trainers and managers, this training offers a powerful lens on why people get stuck under pressure, why change feels hard, and how focus and decision-making are affected. It shows that sustainable transformation doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from first restoring nervous-system balance – creating the conditions for awareness, learning and neuroplasticity.

Instead of relying on intuition alone, you understand the science behind why people think, learn and behave as they do.

You recognise when a client’s brain is protecting them from uncertainty rather than resisting progress. You understand how attention shapes performance, why creativity sometimes disappears, and how learning can be strengthened rather than simply repeated.

What you will learn

 

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

  • Understand what core needs are according to the brain, and how to use them as a template to support behavioural change.
  • Understand how the brain networks interact to regulate attention, emotion, motivation and behaviour.
  • Recognise Invisible Patterns: Discover that reactions are never random , but a visible result of internal narratives, assumptions, intuitions and emotional responses.
  • Design interventions that support self-regulation, insight and sustainable behavioural change, aligned with how the brain actually adapts.
  • Apply this  in coaching sessions, leadership conversations, conflict resolution, emotional regulation, and personal development.
  • Turn unconscious patterns into conscious choice. Learn to distinguish between first-order reality (facts) and second-order reality (interpretations, assumptions, meaning-making).
  • Discover practical tools to interrupt automatic reactions and create intentional, grounded responses.
  • Use the PPMB™ model

Programme content

 

The brain and selfmastery

  • How does change work in the brain?
  • Why does your brain sometimes mislead you?
  • How can you make your brain work for you instead of against you?
  • Why do we do the things we don’t want to do?
  • Brain processes: How does the brain really work?
  • How to program the brain to adopt new habits using neuroplasticity?
  • Why the brain constructs assumptions

You will learn how Experience creates meaning. Meaning shapes emotion. Emotion (the brain’s fast automatic reaction pattern) drives reactions.

 

Core Patterns – The Invisible Drivers

  • How  inner frameworks that shape how we see the world
  • Personal meaning maps

Mind Narratives – How meaning is made

  • Inner dialogue and interpretation
  • How the brain fills in gaps with prediction
  • Stories we tell ourselves : The narratives we build from our inner frameworks

The Body’s emotional response: Emotional & Nervous system responses

  • Physiological reactions to internal stories and intuition
  • Emotional triggers and patterns
  • Triggers, stress patterns, and regulation

Observable responses in daily life 

  • Reactions driven by emotional states
  • How choices reinforce or reshape inner frameworks
  • Real life examples: avoidance, overworking, withdrawal, communication shifts

Why the brain prefers being “right” over being peaceful

  • The brain is a prediction machine: it uses past experience to decide what things mean now.
  • Whatever feels safe or familiar gets reinforced.
  • Whatever feels threatening triggers protection.
  • Repeated experiences strengthen the same neural pathways.
  • The PPMB™ Model : Prediction Preparation Meaning Behaviour

The Four Brain Characters: A new dimension of Self-Awareness

  • The four characters we all have: Analytical, Protective, Relational, and Observing.
  • Learn to consciously and wisely shift between these roles to create balance and self-mastery.

 

Practical Tools & Exercises

  • Reprogramming the unconscious: Implementation Intention (If-then)
  • Ladder of inference
  • Reality-check questions
  • Redefining personal narratives
  • Story rewriting
  • Working with inner voices work (Gremlin & Ambassador)
  • Learning to shift between the four brain characters

 

What Makes This Training Unique?

  • Evidence-informed : Rooted in cognitive psychology, behavioural science and applied neuroscience.
  • Practical and experiential : Participants apply the model to real-life examples and professional situations.
  • Accessible language : A simple structure that clients understand immediately.
  • Structured for deep change : A clear, repeatable process from awareness to new behaviour.

FAQ

 

Do I need a neuroscience background to take this training?

No. This programme is designed for coaches and professionals who are new to applied neuroscience. Complex concepts are explained in clear, practical language, with no scientific background required.

 

What is the PPMB™ Model?

The PPMB™ Model (Prediction – Preparation – Meaning – Behaviour) is a copyrighted and trademarked neuroscience-based framework that explains how the brain creates behaviour. It helps uncover the hidden processes that influence emotions, decisions and actions, enabling people to make more conscious choices and create lasting behavioural change.

 

How is this training different from other neuroscience courses?

Most neuroscience courses focus on explaining the brain. This programme focuses on helping you apply neuroscience immediately. You’ll learn practical coaching tools, follow real-life demonstrations, and use a structured neuroplasticity framework that can be integrated into coaching, leadership, facilitation and personal development.

 

Will I be able to use these tools immediately with clients?

Yes. Every concept is paired with practical exercises, coaching demonstrations and ready-to-use tools that you can apply in coaching conversations, leadership discussions, conflict resolution and behaviour change work.

 

Is this training evidence-informed?

Yes. The programme combines current research from applied neuroscience, cognitive psychology, behavioural science and neuroplasticity with practical coaching methodologies that are immediately applicable in professional settings.

 

Is the training interactive?

Absolutely. This is not simply a series of lectures. Each session includes practical exercises, self-reflection, coaching demonstrations and downloadable worksheets to help you apply what you learn.

 

How is the programme delivered?

The programme consists of five live virtual sessions of one hour each and includes worksheets, practical exercises, facilitator resources and coaching tools to support your learning between sessions.

 

Will I receive ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) credits?

Yes. This programme has been approved for 10 ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) credits, including 5 Core Competencies and 5 Resource Development credits.

 

Can I use the PPMB™ Model in my own coaching practice?

Yes. Participants will learn how to use the PPMB™ Model as a practical framework to help clients understand why they think, feel and behave as they do, and how to guide them towards more intentional and sustainable change.

 

What makes this programme unique?

Rather than teaching isolated neuroscience concepts, this programme provides a complete, easy-to-follow framework that connects prediction, meaning-making, emotions and behaviour. You’ll leave with practical tools, a repeatable coaching process, and a deeper understanding of how the brain creates and changes human behaviour.
