Aim of the Academy

There is a disconnect between what applied neuroscience shows and what organisations do. At the Academy of Organisational Neuroscience we close the gap by sharing evidence based teaching, training, leadership and learning. Contact us to strengthen your influence to improve learning outcomes, teaching strategies and leadership impact.

Including:

Coaching and empowering leaders to better align their practices to the way the brain operates and the way the brain learns best to strengthen their influence.

Customising solutions to meet the contextual needs of organisations around leadership and learning to position teams to make more informed decisions.

Mastering communication to be a change agent through powerful learning conversations.

Building strategic leaders as performance coachers.

Helping schools build systems and cultures that improve student and teacher learning.
