Neuroscience for Coaches, Leaders and Professionals
Your nervous system isn't just yours.
Every signal you send—visible, audible, felt—
is being picked up by the nervous systems around you.
And theirs are affecting you.
So the question isn't just: "Am I regulated?"
It's: "What am I contributing to the field?"
Distinctives of my Mission, Content and Training:
An intentional de-emphasis on 'skill acquisition':
Get to the deeper roots of human development, which begin with insight, and "un-blurring our vision" from misunderstandings of behavior and knowledge.
A focus on the 'aha moments':
Increase self-awareness - and from there, come up with new, ever-evolving ideas that improve knowledge, innovation, and deeper learning.
The other distinctives:
- I don't believe in learning just to promote one's own ideas of success.
- We are all learners who never stop learning, and we do this to make life collectively feel easier for all living beings.
- We learn in order to open up channels for new ideas and the evolution of knowledge itself.
- Unique forms of genius exists in everyone and it's up to us as a species to help as many of us recognize what our personal form of genius is.
- If that sounds like it blends well with your vision, I hope you'll keep reading and watching...
Here's how focusing on Mindset, Embodied Neuroscience and Systems Thinking transforms the lives of professionals and the people they serve...
"very informative and digestible to pass onto others in our work"
"Thank you Stefanie. I run a charitable Trust that has a focus on assisting people with Depression and Anxiety. I follow your podcasts and have got my partner onto them as well. We both find these so helpful in our line of work (She is a clinical psychologist) and find your content very informative and very digestible to pass onto others in our work. Thank you for what you do." - A. Jackson
"practices that I have learned, embodied and now teach my clients"
"I’ve been following Stefanie and her work for years. I was introduced to her work at a workshop when I was a special ed teacher. I immediately was fascinated and at the time felt called to embody growth mindset myself before trying to teach it to children. I attended many of her weekend incentives and also masterminds. Her podcast and content have great value! Especially if you are in any role of authority and leadership. These are practices that I have learned, embodied and now also teach my clients as an entrepreneur." - S. Streit, Teacher
"life-changing insights"
"Your comments about perseverance gained by applying our strengths to a self-transcendent purpose have informed our practices around how we at Harrigan Solutions develop our employees. Thanks for these life-changing insights." - Bill Harrigan, CEO
Here are a few ways I might be able to help:
Consulting, keynote speaking and professional development workshops for organizations
(clients include MIT, the FBI, Google, Northwestern University, CheckIt Learning, Suzuki Music Association, UC San Diego School of Medicine, Alberta Health Services, City Colleges Chicago, Illinois State University Teachers Education Pipeline and many more..)

The Neuroscience of Feeling Safe Enough To Change
The Neuroscience of Feeling Safe Enough to Change Trust isn’t a strategy. It’s a state. And right now, that state is harder to access than ever. We’re living through a period of collective dysregulation—chronic uncertainty, polarization, systems that feel unstable,…

Your Nervous System Isn’t Just Yours: the science of collective dysregulation and what to do about it
Your nervous system isn’t just yours. Every signal you send—through your voice, your posture, the micro-expressions that flicker across your face—is being picked up by the nervous systems around you. Your tone activates their auditory processing. Your facial movements are…
