What Our Students Have To Say

This program has had a tremendously positive, powerful impact on my development and growth as a coach.  Not only did I gain insight and understanding into the neuroscience of coaching through the numerous, excellent brain-based tools that we learned and practiced, and used with clients. The journey of professional and personal development that I have experienced with Ann, Ursula, and the Azalea Pod has been transformative.

Leadership Coach, Trainer, Facilitator, ACC

This program has had a profound impact on both my personal and professional life. I am able to offer a plethora of new tools to my practice as a coach and to help cascade the wisdom of the brain to my clients. I have also, in turn, gained a better understanding of myself and my many opportunity areas for growth. I have REALLY enjoyed it all. In fact, I find myself wondering what I did as a coach before BEabove.

I very much like the idea that there is scientific grounding for the coaching approaches in the class. The neuroscience is simply fascinating on its own. Very grateful for the grounding in it. And appreciate being able to explain it to people in a coaching context. I believe it allows them to open to possibilities they might not otherwise have considered . As I imagine is normal, some tools I am more comfortable with and some need more practice. Thank you for your presence. Your support, kindness, and gracious manner was not only appreciated but an example of how to coach as a professional.

I want to celebrate how much I have embraced it, not just as a learning experience but as something I have integrated into my everyday coaching. Watching it come alive in those moments with my clients has been truly transformative for me and for them.

Natalie Stuart

I run a coaching practice called Pomelo Coaching where I assist clients in reaching their life goals. Many of my clients have a neurodiversity that they would like to better integrate into their daily life or work. The CNTC program has enhanced the way I work with clients by offering me a strong foundation of neuroscience while providing a wide array of tools that focus on action, emotion, and energy. Thanks to the information from the course, I have a better understanding of how my clients’ brains may be working and how best to coach them to higher levels of effectiveness. My favorite part of the program was the colorful discussions with my cohort and how we would stay connected outside of our weekly sessions to enhance each others’ learning.

Ann and Ursula, of BeAbove Leadership, have integrated consciousness and coaching with the latest findings in the field of neuroscience to create a powerful and accessible roadmap and guidebook. As a corporate coach, I use their resources with all my managers to help them excel in leadership — in their life and work and for the sake of those they lead. The BEabove Advanced Coaching Series is a must for the experienced coach.

George Rohrer

MBA, MCC, CPCC

The models I learned in this course have given me the language to explain why we react in certain ways, and why things in life sometime feel like they’re flowing while other times we feel stuck. Most importantly, this program has provided me with a way of explaining what is possible. Surprisingly, I don’t have to dig to0 much into explanation and everyone that I’ve shared this with gets it, because it is part of our human experience. The understanding of how the brain works is fabulous!

Carolina Zuleta

Life Strategy Coach, CPCC, MBA

This program has had a very deep impact on me. I enjoyed learning about my own personal operating system in a scientifically proven way. It helped me understand the neuroscience of how things work in myself as well as for others.

On a personal level, the program provided me with a lot of joy, not only to be in the learning space but also  to meet amazing colleagues and instructors. The course provided a space to practice and try new techniques, and practicing the coaching tools weekly was a huge gift.

Professionally I feel equipped to explain to my clients the science behind the ‘woo-woo’ of coaching, help them onboard to the process and lean in. The elegance of the tools I learned is amazing and offer self-sufficiency in clients for long term benefits, which is something I love.

I wish the class did not have to end and I look forward to more learning together.

Casandra Alcocer

As an ex-academic, I agree wholeheartedly – your courses are world-class! Your programmes are more practically applicable and transformative in their helpfulness to individual clients and organizations than many master’s degrees!

Hilde Eiselen

Oh wow, where do I even begin to talk about the impact of this course? This program has given me a new language, a language of neuroscience that helps me make sense of the “bad juju” my clients are dealing with. It is like watching a foreign film and suddenly having subtitles. Everything clicks, and it all starts to make sense. It has been incredible to have the tools to not only understand what is holding them back but also help them break free from the prisons they have been stuck in.

I want to celebrate how much I have embraced it, not just as a learning experience but as something I have integrated into my everyday coaching. Watching it come alive in those moments with my clients has been truly transformative for me and for them.

Eugenia Tan

During this program, I’ve become more myself and more confident as a person and as a coach. I even overcame my self-consciousness about conversing in English. I’m ready to start coaching English-speaking clients! It was a big dream of mine, but I always held back. Overall, working on my personal effectiveness helped me to be my true self, a better person, and a better coach. As a coach, I am more aware and intentional and have a varied set of tools to choose from when I work with my clients. I love being able to confidently explain some neuroscientific aspects to them. I found it normalizes how they act and feel in some situations and helps them learn more about themselves. I also feel more free to use my intuition now that I know how the Intuition System works. I feel the journey has just begun and it’s going to be a hell of an adventure!

Giada Centofanti

I have learned a lot from this program. My primary objective of learning more about neuroscience was definitely met, but I did not expect to learn so much about how to apply the learnings to myself and my life as well as to my clients.

Sandra Marin

CNTC, PCC, Leadership Coach and Consultant

I love this Advanced Coach Training! It has given me so much to celebrate! I celebrate the knowledge I now have of the brain. I celebrate my enhanced ability to support my clients on their transformation journey. And, I celebrate my ability to be an even more effective parent, for I know how to best support my child from a neuroscience perspective.

PCC ,CPCC, CNTC, IFS Trained Coach

This program was invigorating, transformational and fun! Ann and Ursula, both master teachers, delivered the content with grace and joy, and we were constantly engaged and actively processing and applying our new knowledge. Who knew learning about neuroscience could be so fun and interactive? I highly recommend this artfully integrated and inspirational training to anyone who is ready to shake things up, break things open, and try out some brilliant new tools in their coaching practice.
