What is
3 Brains Intelligence ©

  • Your Heart, guided by empathy and connection, prioritises the impact our decisions have on others.

  • Your Gut, our personal hustler, focuses on self-preservation and drives us to get things done for ourselves.

  • Lastly, your Head serves as our strategic planner, offering logical reasoning and analysis to deliver the best strategy or predictive outcome possible.

They operate with positive intentions; their only objective is to let you live and flourish.​

However, when one brain dominates the decision-making, it create discord among the others, potentially disrupting or even derailing your plans. 

 

This dynamic, this internal "conflict" is at the heart of our successes and struggles.

 

By recognising and effectively balancing these three voices, we can harness the power of this trinity to make decisions that are not only productive but also holistic and well-rounded, this is what we call 3 Brains Intelligence ©™

Alexa Regina Fasholt PCC , Psychologist, Sr. Executive Coach

Thank you so much for your kindness and for this fantastic training. I enjoyed every second of it!
Thinking about what was particularly valuable for me, I would have to pick "experiencing 3 brains coaching" in person. Each time we practiced coaching with a partner, 
 
I walked away with significant insights into areas of my life where I felt stuck, and by the end of the course I had found answers, got unstuck and felt renewed energy flow. 
Also the opportunity to review and let go of some old beliefs that don’t serve we anymore was extremely valuable!
You provided a wealth of wonderful information, tips, tricks, food for thought, inspiring moments, and first hand experiences, which have brought this training to life and made it stick! 
 
It’s pretty darn perfect, if I may say so as a perfectionist!

Willem Royaards CEO & Partner 3R Consultants, Executive Coach

he 3 brains certification training blends cutting edge neuroscience knowledge with very effective coaching skills building.  
 
The concepts and the tools are easy to integrate into your coaching practice and they add another dimension to the work we do as coaches.
 
It takes coaching conversations much deeper and broader. It encourages and supports a shift in thinking and behaviour, taking it off automatic pilot and putting it into manual operation.
 
The 3-brains concept really lands with clients, supporting them to reveal complex unspoken thoughts, feelings and behaviours to arrive at solutions with greater clarity and confidence. 
 
Chris is a great facilitator and thought-provoking, energising coach he has very deep knowledge on the subject.
