"James has a true gift. The way he takes the science and provides the relevant bite size information at the right time in the right manner and connects so well with his target audience is incredible. Full of implementable pieces along with the relevant data/science needed to understand the root of key elements and how they all connect together. I wish there was a part 2!"

"PRACTICAL, ACCESSIBLE, and TRANSFORMATIONAL...right from the first session."

"Oh my, WHAT DIDN'T I LEARN in this course? This course and James were SIMPLY FANTASTIC! Brain by Design effectively and effortlessly combines science (specifically neuroscience) with real life and explains not only why we do the things we do but more importantly HOW WE CAN CHANGE it for the better by understanding and capitalizing on how our brains work (i.e. its neuroplasticity). The fact that we can impact how we show up, how we live, how we function on a deep and sustainable level was incredibly empowering.  

Brain science + real life + doable strategies + fun = this course. 

The instructor James is a jewel. A combination of science, wisdom, compassion, humanity and joy all wrapped up in one curious-minded body and soul. He's a life-long student and was undergoing a 1-year Deep Change project for the duration of our course. JAMES BREATHES WHAT HE TEACHES and is a natural teacher who dispenses his knowledge in such a WARM, CONVERSATIONAL manner that often you felt like you're speaking with and listening to an old friend rather than being taught. The way the course is designed with 12 self-directed (paced to an extent) pre-recorded online courses+ 6 virtual live sessions worked really well as it gave you the opportunity to go over a wealth of information in your own time and then come prepared to have a deeper discussion during the live sessions. James also provided a number of resources (i.e. books, links, key people, etc. that attendees have unlimited access to forever.) both during the pre-recorded and live sessions so you could explore the concepts more in-depth. I came away from the course feeling empowered re: the science but also with a large number of practical tips, strategies, etc. that I can confidently start applying both personally and professionally. If you're looking for a course that's LIFE-CHANGING, literally, you MUST DO Brain by Design."

Gigi Khonyongwa-Fernandez, 

CEO, Families Blossoming

"The course is designed and instructed in a way that KEEPS YOU captive and WANTING TO KNOW MORE. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND it!"

"James was very ENTERTAINING and FUN to listen to, with a gift of helping people see how their brain can work for them or against them. His course is a MUST-DO!"

Tawanna Preston, MA, Senior Vice President,

Susan Williams, 

CEO, YesUCan Coaching

"This course was stimulating and inspiring. Not only did I learn information that will help me as a coach; I also developed new insights to help me be happier and more productive. James is a WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE."

"A treasure for life! The way James explains each concept, I now use with my clients -- because it helps them to understand it much better: the battery, the roads, the snow mountain, the thimble, etc. I didn't think that I could learn so many interesting and useful things in every session! It has been a wonderful experience! 

James's ENTHUSIASM is CONTAGIOUS!!"

Diane Locke, MA, 

CEO, Ellis Locke

Sandra  Donadeu,
