Discover the Hidden Key to Happier Clients,
More Referrals and Making a Greater Impact
Unlock the Genius of Your Head, Heart, and Gut with this Powerful, Science-Backed Training.
Our three Brains, sharpened by evolution, possess all the qualities we need to lead a life full of achievements, passion, performance, and wellness.
However, this does not mean we can always access or activate the Brain(s) we need in specific situations.
Change only happens when all three work together as one.
Science made it clear we have 3 Brains.
The Head, Heart, and Gut function as independent brains.
What is the consequence when one is not included in the decision?
We are struggling to keep the new behaviour!
And that's not a mindset problem, a lack of insight, or a lack of will or anything of that nonsense.
It is biology doing what it was designed for, keeping us safe, successful, and connected.
Health, happiness, and long-lasting achievements only happen when all three work together.
At the end it's the impact that counts

As a highly experienced coach shared: I walked away with significant insights into areas of my life where I felt stuck, and by the end of the training, I had found answers, got unstuck and felt renewed energy flow. Also, the opportunity to review and let go of old beliefs that no longer serve us was extremely valuable! Chrisoffel 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!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating
I have done this exercise with more than 4,000 coaches and leaders, and it shows that 95% have a serious issue with change, even though they understand it.
In my workshops and leadership trainings, I run an exercise, and what I have observed across many different rooms, in more than 15 countries and 4 continents, with all the professions you can imagine, is that the result is always the same.
The case seems simple: a financially struggling business faces an urgent decision to survive, which means making 50% of the employees redundant, and the board presents four options, A, B, C, and D, from which the participant must choose one that will apply for their team
Only option A addresses the company's survival but has harsh consequences, while B, C, and D feel right, fair, or values-driven but do not address the topic at stake, the company's survival.
Most choose B, C, or D, and I can relate to why we would choose one of those options,
but now the disturbing part:
after I explain the consequences and why only A addresses the company's survival,
I ask the room to reconsider their previous choice
90%+
do not change, even with the evidence in front of them.
And the coaches and leaders in those workshops, whose entire work is helping others change old patterns, could not overcome their own in that moment.
What it shows is that our past experiences, beliefs, and values override the real evidence in front of us when only one or two brains are involved in decision-making.
Over the years, I heard responses like:
-
“I can’t remove myself from my values”
-
“My heart rules.”
-
"A business is its employees; we need diversity in a team to create good work"
-
"But that change would have been a betrayal of who I am"
-
"Years later, I will remember I never took an unfair decision"
-
"Can we not be in a position to understand what you are saying, but after reflection, we disagree?
-
What makes me wonder: If I have serious difficulties with change, with full awareness, in a workshop without real consequences, with a hypothetical decision, what do we need to change something that matters, in real life with real consequences, and maybe under pressure?
It's like we drive into a dead-end street, and because every cell in our body says it is a two-way street, we keep going.
The map is wrong, but we trust the map over the road.
That is what 3 Brains Intelligence™ is built on: letting you question the map and see the real road by activating all 3 Brains
Mastering 3 Brains intelligence coaching provides you: the framework, the diagnostic tools, and the structured methodology to question the map - yours, and your clients' - and drive the road, and as a bonus, delivers you 40 ICF CCEUs."
WHY DO WE ALL HIT THE CEILING SOONER OR LATER?
Only 3% of us have all 3 Brains aligned.
The other 97% naturally listen to one or two.
Across 5,518 professionals tested in 42 countries, coaches, leaders, clients, all of us: 48% are Head-dominant, 41% Heart-dominant, and 11% Gut-dominant. One brain takes the lead while the other two play along or get overruled.
This is honest biology, and once you can name which brain is leading you can work from all three of them.
THE COACHING ADVANTAGE AI CANNOT REPLICATE
AI coaches are getting better
Here is what they cannot do, but 3 Brains Coaching can.
Clients are already exploring AI coaching tools; they are fast, available, and increasingly sophisticated. What they cannot do — and what neuroscience confirms — is sense, feel, and respond to the biological signals in the room. That is your advantage. 3 Brains Intelligence is the methodology that makes that sensing capacity trainable.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE FIELD
Coaching has always evolved.
This is the next step.
Every generation of great coaches has integrated new science into their practice. This is that moment.

How is the 3 Brains Coach training?
The methodology only works if the room does, and what coaches say about the room is what they will tell you first.
Lisa & Lindsay
Couples Coaches
Ludo
PCC, ICF Certified Coach
"Christoffel is a wonderful coach, very entertaining with lots of humour, and the process was professional but very light at the same time and enjoyable. I strongly appreciated the pace and the small group, which to me meant more learning, more space for questions, more demos, more practice."
Bénédicte
Coach
"I am quite obsessed by this work. Christoffel's training has synergies with The Body Keeps the Score, it made a whole lot of sense, and it kind of took that book to another level. It does not just give you another tool for your toolbox, it provides you with a different lens to look at things through."
Katrina
Performance Coach
WHAT COACHES SAY
"I signed up for the CCEUs.
What I found was a name for what I had always been doing."
Pauline Barnas, PCC
ICF Professional Certified Coach · Warsaw, Poland
"Having spent over two decades as an MCC coach, I've encountered countless training programs. Finding a program as unique as this is a rarity — where clients effortlessly break free from limitations and experience benefits that stick. As an MCC, I wholeheartedly encourage each of you to explore this framework."
Karen Keller, Ph.D., MCC
CEO/Founder, Keller Institute™
"I have integrated the concepts and the tools into my coaching practice from the very first session and they have added another dimension to the work. I very much enjoyed the programme and found the clarity of the Three Brains Coaching very useful."
Sheena Bailey, MCC
ICF Master Certified Coach
"This course was an absolute game changer. Christoffel provided groundbreaking knowledge while also creating a safe space to explore and put all the tools immediately into practice. I can confidently recommend it to anyone working in any helping profession."
Bernadett Dara, ACC
Business and Career Coach
"I was in a class of very experienced peers — all MCC or PCC. We found this was remarkably simple language that could take coaching conversations much deeper and broader than expected. I was pleasantly surprised at how the Three Brains theory was both complex and simple."
Jill MacLeod, PCC
Professional Certified Coach, ICF
"The 3-brains concept really lands with my clients, supporting them to unpack complex unspoken thoughts, feelings and behaviours to arrive at solutions with greater clarity and confidence."
Jane Emmanuel, PCC
PCC Assessor & ICF Accredited Coach Supervisor
"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
YOUR TRAINER
Christoffel Sneijders MCC
Christoffel teaches the way coaches say they wish more masters did, light, funny, hands on, judgment free, and safe enough to be human in front of, with the kind of structure that gives you tools you use the next day.
He built 3 Brains Intelligence from 33 years of clinical observation, working at the intersection of coaching, psychotherapy, neuroscience, and embodiment with over 13,000 clients across 33 countries.
The methodology is grounded in data from 5,218 real assessments across 42 countries, reflecting what actually drives human behaviour, and that research shows 97% of us have a dominant brain that shapes how we honestly listen, so knowing yours is one of the most valuable things this training gives you.
"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."
FOR IF YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE WHAT NEUROSCIENCE CONFIRMED
The subconscious has a name.
The best coaches have always listened with more than their ears, knowing that beliefs and early impactful experiences subconsciously shape the client's current life and decisions. Just like they knew that working on them needs more than powerful questions, awareness and understanding to change them.
In 1991, neurocardiologist Dr J. Andrew Armour confirmed the presence of a fully functional neural network in the heart; approximately 40,000 neurons with their own memory and intelligence. In 1998, neurobiologist Dr Michael Gershon confirmed that the gut contains 500 million neurons, the most primal decision-making system in the human body.
This certification lets you master techniques to add to your repertoire. It gives you the language, the diagnostic tools, and the structured methodology to coach the subconscious, and take yor clients further.
"Every experienced coach has had moments they could not fully explain, a felt sense, a somatic signal, an instinct that proved right. This is the science behind those moments."
Head Brain — Logic & Planning
Strategy, analysis, language, cognitive reframing. The dimension coaching named first. The one most clients arrive leading with — and the one that cannot shift patterns alone.
Heart Brain — Connection & Values
~100,000 neurons. Empathy, belonging, emotional intelligence, relational trust. Confirmed 1991. What every coach has always reached for in a deep session — now with a structure.
Gut Brain — Drive & Instinct
500 million neurons. Survival, courage, somatic signals, embodied action. Confirmed 1998. The brain behind every gut-level moment in coaching — and the last to have a method built around it.
Most programs reach one brain.
Your clients need all three.
300+ coaches in 42 countries have brought their existing method — cognitive, somatic, emotional, or integrative — and left with something none of their previous training gave them: a structured way to reach all three brains in the same session. That is why change holds.
