I highly recommend the BrainStates retreat. First and foremost, it is run by two amazing experts in the field, Shannon Murphy and Cynthia Milani. As an executive coach, the learnings help me to use the BrainStates Awareness tool for my clients, but also for myself in order to be more mindful about balancing shifting states of the mind. I thoroughly believe that the insights of NeuroScience make a useful contribution to help create a more self-reflective, tolerant and peaceful world. Last but not least, the retreat takes place in a breath taking medieval olive mill in Le Rouret, close to Nice, steeped in history and its own narrative. I cannot imagine a more beautiful and harmonious setting. Shannon and Cynthia created a special Gesamtkunstwerk where collaborative learning and gaining insights into the field of neuro science, group outings and explorations of the wonderful Provence sites are a perfect blend to foster life long learning and happiness.
-Catharina Wulf
BrainSkills@Work Certification training at the IgD Center for Neuroleadership & Diversity is at the top of my list of valuable life experiences. I was completely engaged and comfortable with the trainers and my colleagues. The content was stimulating, but easily understood because of the material and the trainers' expertise. It is very valuable to have practice time build into training and to have follow up assignments and meetings to increase our integration of new skills and information.
-Russanne Bucci
I would recommend this retreat to all professionals. The information is relevant today and needed. We all need to be showing up the best way we can. Why not help others get there?
-Debra Freathy
The seminar gave an excellent overview of the theoretical framework behind the instrument and practical guidance on how to use it. It did not hurt that the setting was incredible and we visited many worthwhile sites during lunch and dinner.
