ADVANCED APPLIED NEUROSCIENCE COURSES & CERTIFICATION FOR EXPERIENCED COACHES

Advanced Applied Neuroscience supports transformation when insight and awareness are not enough​

​​​

Why Advanced Applied Neuroscience Programs?​​​

When it comes to coaching individuals and teams, sometimes change is more difficult. Advanced Applied Neuroscience (AAN) programs are designed to equip experienced coaches with breakthrough neuroscience know-how, to support transformation when developing awareness and insight is not enough.

​

As an experienced coach or change facilitator you've completed relevant certifications, degrees, or trainings (even other neuroscience-based ones). Would Advanced Applied Neuroscience (AAN) provide your clients with any added value?​​​​​​

What Is The Added Value?​​​

​​

Advanced Applied Neuroscience (AAN) programs are NOT more of the same.

​

If you are looking for next-level mastery (specifically an in-depth understanding of how to use neuroscience to support clients when change is difficult), you'll find Advanced Applied Neuroscience (AAN) programs dive into HOW to:

​​​

  • Engage the transformation system in the brain (knowing when, why, and how to engage different parts of the brain to best support transformation) and support clients to overcome different types of resistance to change.

​​

  • Support clients to bridge the gap between their narrating-self (specifically, self-sabotaging patterns) and their experiencing-self, ​so they can gain access to their unique authentic self in an accepting and empowering way.

​

  • Support individual or team coaching clients to shift from talking ABOUT transformation, to adopting changes in a sustainable way.​​​

​

  • Supplement your rich knowledge and experience with Advanced Applied Neuroscience techniques to best navigate and overcome the most difficult aspects of change and transformation.​​

​​​

Get neuroscience answers to the toughest questions: HOW to overcome THE most difficult transformation challenges.​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As a discipline, Advanced Applied Neuroscience (AAN) is highly application-oriented, cutting-edge, and comprehensive. It is unique in scope, depth, and complexity.

 

After nearly two decades of training and certifying hundreds of experienced coaches, we can very honestly tell you, it requires effort and dedication. While KCI offers various course formats to accommodate different schedules, you should know that acquiring this more advanced level of expertise is not equivalent to programs which, at this point in your coaching journey, and with your rich experience, add wonderful but often relatively specific insight here and there.

 

AAN programs may fundamentally change how you see human nature, how you navigate resistance to change, and how you intentionally facilitate and navigate transformation with a whole new understanding the brain in mind.​​​​

​

AAN programs do not repeat foundations covered by other programs. While we obviously draw on your rich experience and knowledge, the learning requires open exploration and curiosity. It may challenge some of your assumptions, and you will find that to benefit from these programs, you'll need to access deep levels reflection and vulnerability.

Distinguishes You As an Expert​​​

​​​​

To understand what makes AAN programs unique, it helps to highlight 3 important neuroscience terms:​​

​

  • Neuroplasticity: An umbrella term for the brain's ability to change neurosynaptic pathways (this can happen as a result of various reasons including different types of learning and forgetting). 

​

  • Memory reconsolidation: A specific subgroup of neuroplasticity which allows us to understand how to alter past experience-based memories (includes habitual patterns in the brain such as eating habits or time management habits).

​​​​

  • Unlearning: A specific subgroup within memory reconsolidation related to patterns which are some of the hardest to change (ones reinforced by numerous, emotional + threat-related links, which are like a "superglue" combo for patterns in the brain).

​​

​While many excellent neuroscience-based coaching programs teach you important aspects ABOUT neuroplasticity and memory reconsolidation, AAN is uniquely designed for experienced coaches and change facilitators who wish to dive fully into HOW to support and facilitate Unlearning.​​

​​​Which Programs Should I Consider?​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

KCI offers a variety of AAN â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

​​​

​​​​

​​​Most experienced coaches who choose to sign up for AAN programs are:

​

  • Experienced coaches and change facilitators (often with relevant higher degrees or certifications by ICF, CTI, CCE, ACMP, and similar organizations).

​​

  • Already familiar with relevant traditional individual coaching or team coaching models, and often also with mastery of other neuroscience-based models (although no previous background in neuroscience is needed!).

​​

  • May or may not have background in neuroscience (past participants range from having a PhD in neuroscience to having no background in neuroscience at all). The program will provide you with everything you need to know about how the brain works in the specific context of change adoption and transformation.

"LOVED THE DEPTH AND DISCOVERY"

 

"As an NLP Master Coach & Designated NLP Trainer, I am always seeking to learn more about how our brain works and what causes people to respond and behave the way they do, especially in difficult and challenging situations...I have been able to immediately apply these concepts into my coaching services."

Will I Benefit From AAN Programs & Certification?​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​You know yourself best!

 

While the time investment of AAN programs is flexible and very doable (based on the program and format you choose), and while all KCI programs are designed to engage a more intuitive learning style (so there is very little "academic"-like learning) - as advanced programs, you can expect the level of rigor to be fairly high. 

 

If this level of in-depth mastery sounds daunting rather than exciting, AAN programs may not be right for you.

​

​However, the upside of this rigor is a new level of expertise. You'll have an in-depth, intuitive understanding of how to truly use hard-core science to support your coaching clients in ways you did not have access to before.

KCI offers a variety of training and certification programs.

​

Completing an Advanced Applied Neuroscience Coach (AANC) certification, involves a hands-on practicum process (to learn more about the full 8-10 month certification process and requirements, click here).​ However, we highly recommend that you first "test the waters" so to speak, and start with a shorter AAN course. 

​

Why is that?

​

Imagine the various AAN knowledge, models, and techniques that go into becoming a certified AANC, as puzzle pieces. Certified AANC master a comprehensive coaching process which combines ALL the puzzle pieces. But it is not essential to combine ALL the puzzle pieces to provide added AAN value to your coaching clients! Even if you only chose to adopt 20% of what we'll share with you, your clients will be hugely benefited! 

​

Starting with the shorter courses will offer you the following benefits:

​

  • Provide you with ICF CCEU's (if relevant for you).

​​

  • Deliver tremendous value and give you access to a wide variety of AAN models and techniques (for navigating difficult change in various contexts), but allow you to pick and choose.

​​

  • Allow you to incorporate the above into your current coaching practice (without becoming a certified AANC), and - if you fall in love with the material as a whole (which you'll only know after you go on a few dates :)), pave the way for you to opt-in for the certification process as that point, if you wish.

​

If you'd like to know what it takes to get certified as an AANC - you can find all the info here. But we do recommend starting with a short course: start here.
