We know what to do. So why are we not doing it?
It's not a mindset problem, and it's not motivation.
Biology and Neuroscience gave us the explanation: we have 3 Brains, one in our Head, one in our Heart, and one in our Gut.
When we decide, and only one or two of our three brains have been listened to and agree, the other one will pull us back into our old comfort zone.
That is the gap that 3 Brains Intelligence™ closes by aligning all three.
In my research of more than 5, 500 professionals, I came to realise that only 3% of us have all three brains aligned,
The other 97% naturally listen to one or maybe two brains in their decision-making.
This is honest biology: it provided us with a logical wisdom centre, a value-based connection wisdom centre, and a survival-achieving wisdom centre, and not listening to any of those wisdom centres means missing out on that resource.
3 Brains Intelligence gives you the tools, the language, and the method to listen to all three of them.

HERE'S WHY THIS HAPPENS
Most methods work on 1 or 2 brain, and we have 3.
Why is it that we can know precisely what we want, how and when to do it, be motivated to do it, and even be aware of every productivity trick in the book, and still feel stuck, exhausted, inconsistent, and pulled back into old patterns?
Most of us already know what to say or do, but when we say it or do it without all three brains aligned, it does not land, in ourselves or in the people we work with.
Until you can recognise which brain is driving the conversation, real change has not yet found its way in, no matter how good the motivation, the coaching, or the leadership is.
That is the gap most coaching, consulting, and leadership models miss, and what 3 Brains Intelligence™ is built to do is close it, by giving you a way to reconnect thought, feeling, and instinct from inside the same conversation.
When the Head leads alone
Overthinking, indecision, and perfectionism. Knowing exactly what to do, and never doing it. The Head Brain understands everything. The Heart and Gut were never consulted.
When the Heart leads alone
Over-giving. People, pleasing, saying yes too often, neglecting your own needs. The Heart Brain is trying to protect the connection, at the cost of everything else.
When the Gut leads alone
Charging ahead without reflection, chasing success or control at the cost of connection and meaning. The Gut Brain runs the show, and the others cannot get through.
WHAT IS 3 BRAINS INTELLIGENCE™?
Created by Christoffel Sneijders MCC. Built on one neuroscience insight: we don't have 1 brain, we have 3.
Your Head, your Heart, and your Gut each hold their own neurons, their own memory, their own wisdom, and their own objectives, and when the three of them work as one team, transformation becomes natural and sustainable.
When Head, Heart, and Gut work as one team — decisions become clear, change becomes lasting, and leadership becomes natural.
WHERE 3 BRAINS INTELLIGENCE FITS
Neuroscience
Gave us the science of the Head Brain, how we think, plan, form beliefs, and create habits.
Emotional Intelligence
Gave us language for the Heart Brain, empathy, self-awareness, connection, and trust.
3 Brains Intelligence
Builds on both, and adds the Gut Brain, so you can listen to all three of them as one system.
MASTER 3 BRAINS INTELLIGENCE™

WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SHARE?
"Most coaches already know what to say. The question is which brain they are saying it to."
Coaches and leaders who complete the 3 Brains Coach Certification describe a shift in how they hear their clients, because they are listening to all three brains, not just the one in the lead.
"Initially, I was skeptical about the course but I needed coaching education hours and signed up. The 3 Brain method simplified my coaching approach and allowed me to help my clients efficiently identify challenges resulting from disconnects between the heart, head, and gut. Identifying core issues is unearthed more expediently when the head, heart, and gut discussion is infused. An unexpected benefit was that it helped me better understand my own patterns. I would highly recommend the training."
Ted Hawkins
Executive Coach, ex-partner PricewaterhouseCoopers
"3 Brains Intelligence explains why leaders fail to get buy-in and gives us the techniques to do it. If you don't know which brain is speaking, you argue with the wrong argument — and you can't sell your idea. The 3 Brains theory simplifies everything. In just two questions, you know exactly what is happening and you become far more precise and effective."
François Bazini
CMO, Suntory Beverage & Food Europe
"Each time we practised 3 Brains Coaching with a partner, I walked away with significant insights into areas where I felt stuck — and by the end I had found answers, got unstuck, and felt renewed energy flow. The wealth of practical tools turned insights into real, embodied change. It's pretty darn perfect — if I may say so as a perfectionist!"
Regina Fasholt, PCC
Psychologist & Senior Executive Coach
"Few have delved as effectively into the core of why clients get stuck, or offered solutions as impactful as 3 Brains Intelligence. Clients effortlessly break free from limitations and experience benefits that actually stick — because it finally aligns the Head, Heart, and Gut. If you want coaching that creates deep, embodied, and lasting transformation, this is the training to choose."

WHY I CREATED 3 BRAINS INTELLIGENCE™
Christoffel Sneijders MCC
For years, I watched clients try to create change through logic, willpower, or action plans alone, only to get stuck. Others followed their emotions or instinct, but couldn't make progress that lasted. The reason is simple: the Head Brain analyses cause and effect, while the Heart and Gut live in the present moment. They measure success by how something feels now, not by what might happen tomorrow.
When the Head leads alone, life becomes a solo project. It can plan and perform, but it often forgets us, our emotions, relationships, and biological need to feel safe and connected. Real transformation happens only when all 3 decision-makers, Head, Heart, and Gut, work together.
My purpose in sharing this model is simple: to help people stop self-sabotaging, live with alignment, and rediscover the clarity and confidence they already hold within.
"You already work with all three brains. You have always worked with all three. What this gives you is a name for what you sensed, a language your clients understand, and a method that takes it all the way."
You were already working with three brains.
Now you can do it with intention.
