Module II
Regulate emotions
Discover the neuroscience of emotions and how learning to regulate your own can bring about vast improvements in your productivity and relationships.
Module III
Collaborate

This is an excellent course for anyone interested in understanding the neurobiological underpinnings to successful coaching engagements.
The course content exceed my expectations. The NLI training team and support of the registration is highly qualified and very generous about sharing knowledge and experience.
I found the course to be both informative and practical. I’ve gained greater knowledge about how the brain works, a process to model and insight into how to integrate the skills I’ve learned with my current consulting practice.
The course is very well structured with a good mixture of theory and practical exercises. The practical exercises are very well organized and the student gets a real feeling for what coaching means.
This course stretched my mind and gave me the right balance of theory and practical to grow my coaching skills. I feel much more confident with my own abilities and approach to coaching corporate clients.
