My
STORY

I JUST IMAGINED

I COULD HELP PEOPLE

TO LIVE THEIR TRUE POTENTIAL

About Christoffel Sneijders MCC – Founder of 3 Brains Intelligence™

With a burning desire to unlock human potential, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people live in alignment with who they truly are — at work, in relationships, and in life.

For over 30 years, I’ve coached and trained leaders, professionals, and coaches worldwide to transform stress, conflict, and self-sabotage into clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, my journey has been one of continuous exploration — of people, cultures, and the science of human behaviour. My curiosity about what drives decisions and emotions led me to study behavioural sciences, coaching, and therapy, and ultimately to develop the 3 Brains Intelligence™ model.

From an early age, I was fascinated by the complexities of decision-making and emotions, both in myself and in others. This curiosity shaped my path, leading me to develop the

Founder of the 3 Brains Intelligence™ Model

The 3 Brains Intelligence™ model integrates the latest discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and coaching.

It identifies that we have three functional brains — the Head, Heart, and Gut — each with its own intelligence, memory, and motivation.

When these three align, people make wiser decisions, lead more authentically, and create lasting change.

I developed this approach after decades of coaching and teaching, noticing that traditional “mindset” methods alone often failed to create sustainable transformation.

By engaging all three brains — thinking, feeling, and instinct — we unlock the biology of true alignment.

This work has now reached more than 13,000 professionals across 42 countries, empowering individuals, teams, and organisations to grow with awareness and integrity.

A Life’s Work in Service of Others

My work is not about formulas or quick fixes — it’s about guiding people to reconnect with their innate wisdom and humanity.

As a Master Certified Coach (ICF) and Visiting Professor at IE Business School and Georgetown University Qatar, I combine scientific insight with real human empathy to support deep and lasting transformation.

Whether in leadership coaching, corporate programs, or therapy, my approach blends neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and behavioural science to help people find alignment between their Head, Heart, and Gut — and live with purpose, balance, and fulfilment.

The Journey Continues

I believe transformation is never finished — it’s a lifelong dialogue between our Head, Heart, and Gut.

Every conversation, every challenge, and every success offers new insights.

Through the 3 Brains Intelligence Academy, I continue to train and mentor coaches, leaders, and organizations worldwide to embrace change from the inside out.

“When your three brains work in harmony, you stop surviving — and start truly living.”
