Enhancing leadership through brain-based, measurable change

Agility

Learn More

Agility
Your brain can become more flexible.

Computational neuroscience has identified key mechanisms—such as optimal feedback control, impedance control, predictive control, Bayesian decision theory, and sensorimotor learning—that influence brain agility.

While these may sound complex, Dr. Srini Pillay has distilled them into practical, easy-to-implement strategies that leaders can use to become more mentally nimble, adaptable, and creative in real time.

You’ll discover how to:

  • Rewire your brain for agility instantly using targeted mental microshifts
  • Pivot smoothly in the face of change without losing momentum
  • Multitask effectively when necessary—without burning out
  • Switch between focused and unfocused states to unlock creative breakthroughs
  • Recover from mental fatigue or mistakes with speed

These tools are drawn from the science behind his book, Tinker Dabble Doodle Try, and can help you shift gears faster, think more fluidly, and recover from setbacks with greater ease.

Focus

Learn More

Focus
Your brain has a focus switch—you just have to learn how to use it.

Focus isn’t just about clearing distractions. It’s about training your brain to shift attention with precision—toward yourself, others, and the world around you.

Based on Dr. Srini Pillay’s brain-based tools and his book Tinker Dabble Doodle Try, this course shows you how to build real focus while also using strategic unfocus to spark creativity and restore clarity.

You'll learn how to activate your focus circuits more efficiently—something CEOs in flow states do to become up to 5x more productive, according to McKinsey research.

You’ll also get practical strategies to overcome:

  • Distraction, procrastination, and multitasking
  • Brain fog, overwhelm, and boredom
  • Rumination, insomnia, and mental inflexibility
  • Obsessions, presenteeism, and even the effects of bad news
  • Indecisiveness, self-doubt, and the paralysis of overthinking

This isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about learning when to zoom in, when to let go, and how to do both in a way that energizes you.

Communication

Learn More

Communication

Most people think effective communication is about clarity. But brain science tells us it's also about timing, tone, trust, and what isn’t said.

In this module, you’ll learn how to communicate with impact by activating brain regions tied to attention, motivation, empathy, and connection—so your ideas land with clarity, emotional resonance, and action.

Based on Dr. Srini Pillay’s work at Harvard Medical School, Harvard Business School, Duke Corporate Education, and on a think-tank at McKinsey & Company, this experience will help you shift how you relate to yourself, others, and the world in every conversation.

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Move from defensiveness to curiosity
  • Give feedback that drives change
  • Reduce overwhelm and increase clarity
  • Activate synchrony for trust and team cohesion
  • Replace command-and-control with collaboration and motivation

Resilience

Resilience

Did you know you can quiet down the anxiety and worry centers in your brain—without force, and without needing deep neuroscience knowledge?

In this module, you’ll learn how to gently redirect an anxious brain in chaos, and how to build lasting resilience by working with your brain, not against it.

Based on Dr. Srini Pillay’s books Life Unlocked and Tinker Dabble Doodle Try, you’ll explore practical ways to reduce reactivity, increase inner strength, and rewire your response to stress and uncertainty.

You’ll also discover how to:

  • Quiet the amygdala (the brain’s alarm system)
  • Move from fear to forward motion
  • Recover faster from setbacks
  • Stay calm and effective under pressure
  • Build resilience across self, relationships, and the world you navigate

Decision-making

Learn More

Decision-making
Better decisions start with better brain habits.

Even the smartest people fall into hidden thinking traps—like overconfidence, anchoring, sunk cost bias, and misplaced prudence. These aren’t just mental glitches—they’re patterns your brain can learn to shift.

In this module, you’ll explore how effective decision-making is not just about logic, but also about emotional regulation, intuition, and using your brain’s capacity to integrate complexity and abstraction.

Grounded in insights from Harvard Business Review and Dr. Srini Pillay’s research, this session will help you:

  • Recognize and avoid common decision-making traps
  • Regulate stress so you can think more clearly
  • Learn when to pause, pivot, or persist
  • Combine data with instinct for more powerful outcomes
  • Make decisions that align with your deeper purpose

Creativity & Innovation

Learn More

Creativity and Innovation
You don’t have to be born creative—your brain can learn it.

There are hidden switches in your brain that, once turned on, can unlock powerful creativity and spark innovation—even in the most structured environments.

In this module, based on Dr. Srini Pillay’s book Tinker Dabble Doodle Try, you’ll learn how small actions, physical movement, and even visual diagrams can help rewire your brain for idea generation and breakthrough thinking.

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Break free from rigid thought loops
  • Use mind-wandering strategically to boost insights
  • Think “outside the box” (literally and neurologically)
  • Expand your creative edge without needing to force it
  • Turn everyday moments into sparks of innovation
