Testimonials:
"The BE philosophy has probably meant more to me than it has to my kids. BE has taught me to look at myself differently. And isn't that where change starts. If I believe that a change is possible within me, then I can surely sell my kids on the idea of change. That's what Brain Education has become to me. A means by which I can change . . . and make a change. We realize the magnificence of our own minds. We realize that our brains are a part of us and that we can change the way that we develop. We can change our minds. And indeed, we can."
- Rick Bartells, teacher
"As a school Social Worker dealing with special education students, I see the remarkable benefits of the "Power Brain" exercises. I've observed extremely hyperactive students calm down while performing the workouts, as well as tired students become very energetic after a "power brain" session. Personally, I benefited a great deal from my "power brain" training. It made me realize that I was much stronger than I thought. I was able to move and stretch in ways I never thought possible and as a middle age female, I learned how beneficial these exercises are for people my age, not only physically but mentally as well. I recommend this program to any and all persons."

A powerful and unique educational training designed to give individuals the experience and confidence they need to enhance their personal lives and share Brain Education as a certified instructor with children, adults and the world!
Brain Education (BE) Leadership Training offers participants the opportunity to experience the unlimited potential of their brains through a series of highly experiential, innovative trainings that focus on the brain itself. Based upon the Brain Education System Training (BEST), this program exposes participants to simple, but profound methods that lead to a sense of empowerment over the workings of the brain. The goal of BE, and this training, is to develop an awareness of the role of the brain in your life, to gain an ability to coordinate the various parts of your brain, and ultimately gain mastery over your brain so that it is working fully in your favor. BE combines Eastern mind-body training methods with the latest findings in neuroscience to integrate and apply core understandings about the brain, mind and behavior. Over the course of a week, participants will not only learn how to use their own brains more productively, they will also gain the skills and tools needed to enhance the lives of others. After completing this training, participants will have an awareness of brain structure and function, a deeper understanding of brain philosophy, as well as a professional certification to teach others in specially designed programs.
Brain Education Leadership Training is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the brain and how to unlock its true potential.
Testimonials:
"Brain Education has personally given me a new perspective on life, on how to take care of myself and utilize my brain. Therefore, as a teacher it helps me teach students how to take care of their brains to access their highest potential."
- Jean Claude Dorelus, Media Specialist, PS 12K
"This training really helped me expand my mind and see the potential for my own personal growth. I have seen a change in my own lifestyle and I am much healthier now. It's changed how I relate to my students as well. I'm much more loving now and realize the importance of a smile and I see immediate feedback from the children who are mirroring my sense of wellbeing. I realize how much my positive attitude empowers them to have that sense of 'I can do it!'"
