I absolutely recommend to take a leap of faith and join the About my Brain program. You can change things in your own life and in your organizations. Come on board!
I came all the way from Spain to attend this program. One of the things I am taking away is the importance to learn how to develop a fit brain because all of us, as leaders are impacting others day after day.
I love meeting new people and connecting with people at a real level. Even though we are learning research-based stuff, it is a human program that is also fun.
I learnt about the latest in leadership and all the things that make the i4 Neuroleader™ Methodology unique, from how to take care of your brain to how to collaborate and innovate.
What I truly loved about this retreat was the Akashic Records meditation led by Relmi Damiano. It offered a unique opportunity to fully focus on my well-being—nurturing both my mind and body in a way I hadn’t expected. The experience has taught me so much about myself and has left me feeling completely refreshed. This has been the most unexpected and valuable takeaway from the retreat.
The lessons and information that I have been introduced to have helped me to understand more about myself and crucially, given me a greater appreciation of how I can have a positive impact, whether at work, home or socially, in all areas and aspects of my life. Silvia and the team created a space where I could be comfortable being uncomfortable. Where I could explore deeper emotions in a safe environment and develop skills to be a better leader and a better human. Thank you!
