Goodbye bland, boring corporate lectures. Hello interactive, brain-based workshops.

Bring neuroscience to your organization through engaging, action-oriented training programs.

Choose from four programs each centered on a key aspect of workplace inclusion and engagement: belonging, teamwork, fairness, and joy.

Each program includes five 2-hour workshops to provide an in-depth learning experience that prepares participants to apply brain-based strategies in their roles. Single sessions, custom combinations, and custom topics are also available to best meet your team’s needs.

    This includes the different parts of the brain, methods that researchers use to study the brain, and what our brains need to thrive at work (the BRAINS framework).

  • Natural variation in the brain (neurodiversity) and our life experiences make each of us who we are.

    This workshop will explore how strengths, needs, personalities, and behaviours are rooted in the brain. You’ll reflect on how your brain connects with your work style.

  • Feeling like we matter, are valued by others, and have purpose supports both healthy brains and work engagement.

    This workshop will cover neuroscience-informed strategies to facilitate autonomy, recognize accomplishments, and provide effective feedback in a neurodiverse team.

  • This workshop will shift from understanding individual differences into building an inclusive collaborative environment.

    You’ll learn how clear communication, transparency, flexibility, inclusive meetings, and neuroscience-informed decision-making processes contribute to spaces where all brains thrive.

  • Brain research shows that practice really does help us retain what we’ve learned and prepare to apply it in real situations.

    In this session, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in scenario-based activities customized to your area of work.

Fairness to Flourish

Facilitate equal opportunity by reducing bias in decision-making.

  • In this introduction to neuroscience, you’ll learn foundational knowledge that will help you understand and apply brain research.

    This includes the different parts of the brain, methods that researchers use to study the brain, and what our brains need to thrive at work (the BRAINS framework).

  • The human brain is wired for unconscious quick decisions and shortcuts.

    This workshop will introduce the breadth of biases that our brains are susceptible to and how those impact real workplace decisions.

  • Moving from an understanding of bias to a solution-oriented approach, this workshop will demonstrate neuroscience-informed strategies for bias reduction.

    In complement, you’ll learn the brain science behind change resistance and strategies to navigate it.

  • Whether the objective is changing an individual behaviour or an organizational process, we can use neuroscience to help make the change stick.

    In this workshop, you’ll learn brain-based strategies for effective habit formation that supports sustainable change in the workplace.

  • Brain research shows that practice really does help us retain what we’ve learned and prepare to apply it in real situations.

    In this session, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in scenario-based activities customized to your area of work.

Journey to Joy

Fuel motivation, connection, and creativity through positive brain pathways.

  • In this introduction to neuroscience, you’ll learn foundational knowledge that will help you understand and apply brain research.

    This includes the different parts of the brain, methods that researchers use to study the brain, and what our brains need to thrive at work (the BRAINS framework).

  • When the brain goes into overload mode, openness and creativity are hindered.

    In this workshop, you’ll experience the benefits of gratitude, mindfulness, and mind wandering and learn how those practices can be integrated into work structures.

  • Work and play aren’t opposites. Play can be integrated into work practices to facilitate engagement and performance.

    In this workshop, you’ll explore how imagination, fun, and challenge support motivation and growth—and the aspects of the work environment that support safety to engage in such playful productivity.

  • Experiencing awe and wonder promotes creativity, connection, and well-being.

    In this workshop, you’ll learn about the neuroscience of awe and how this powerful emotion can be fostered in the workplace.

  • Brain research shows that practice really does help us retain what we’ve learned and prepare to apply it in real situations.

    In this session, you’ll apply what you’ve learned in scenario-based activities customized to your area of work.

Frequently asked questions about brain-based training

  • Both! Five-workshop programs and single sessions can be provided either virtually or in-person.

    I’m based in Montreal, Canada and I love to travel. For any in-person events outside of Montreal, please note that travel-related fees may apply.

  • Brain research shows that collaborative and active learning helps us retain and apply what we learned. So these aren’t the “sit and listen for two hours” kind of training—our brains aren’t built for that!

    Workshops include a combination of presentations to cover foundational concepts, individual activities to spark thoughts and ideas, and group interaction to foster shared growth. While the specific activities vary between topics, common formats include scenarios, creative brainstorming, written reflection, and structured discussion.

  • Yes! The training programs are designed to be accessible for people with a broad range of educational and professional backgrounds. No previous experience in neuroscience is needed.

    All five-workshop programs have Intro to Brains as the first session, which will introduce the foundational concepts of neuroscience that we’ll build on in the later sessions.

  • Workshop content and materials are proactively designed with accessibility in mind. This includes, for example, providing captions, describing important images, offering both digital and paper versions of handouts (for in-person workshops), and offering multiple ways to participate (such as asking questions by writing or speaking).

    While clients are responsible for the choice of in-person venue or virtual platform, I can support you in maximizing accessibility in the chosen space. In addition, client organizations are highly encouraged to invite sharing of any accessibility needs among workshop participants. I will work with you to meet any needs and maximize accessibility for all participants.

  • The recommended time for each five-workshop program is 8 weeks total, with workshops held every two weeks. This allows time for reflection and practice between the workshops.

    Custom timelines are available to best fit your team’s needs and schedules.

  • The five-workshop program is highly recommended as it promotes in-depth learning and knowledge retention through repeated active participation and practice.

    Single workshops and talks are also available to spark motivation and introduce neuroscience to your team.

  • Each five-workshop program includes:

    • Customization and facilitation of the five sessions including presentations, activities, and question periods.

    • A workbook to guide activity participation and serve as a reference after the program. Workbooks are provided in pdf format for virtual programs, and in both pdf and printed formats for in-person programs. Please note that workbooks are only provided for the five-workshop programs, not single sessions.

    • A copy of the workshop slides for personal use.

    • A resource list for further learning.

  • Pricing varies depending on several factors, including: whether the training will be provided virtually or in-person, the location (if in-person), and the number of participants.

    Please contact me for a personalized quote.

  • In the five-workshop program, impact is measured through pre-post questionnaires. In addition, brief feedback surveys are provided at the end of each session.

    For single sessions, a feedback survey is provided at the end of the session.

    Organizations are encouraged to assess longer-term impact by inviting employees to share how they are implementing the learned strategies in their roles within the few months after training. If we work together on longer-term consulting projects, I can support this assessment.

  • Yes! Feel free to contact me to discuss further.

What training participants are saying:

  • “This was a really great workshop! It included really meaningful discussion topics meant to encourage self-reflection on our own biases, and how we can implement strategies to mitigate these biases. I also found the neuroimaging studies showing unconscious and implicit bias really eye-opening and informative. Would highly recommend this workshop for sure!”
