Become an i4 Neuroleader™ Practitioner and conduct memorable brain-based leadership and wellbeing programs designed to develop brain-friendly leaders, teams & cultures.
Helping people apply the latest findings from the fields of science and wellness and how this impacts performance, collaboration, innovation and agility is critical for business success today.
To improve connection in our workplaces, understanding how we function as human beings is one of the most important strategies to retain talent and minimise burnout.
We must learn how each of us feels, how we imagine and intuit, to inspire ourselves and others. People want to go to work and use their thinking and ideas to drive growth while also maintaining a sense of balance.
Some organisations are beginning to appreciate that flexibility and brain-friendly environments are critical to support their staff in this new way of working. After all, thinking and ideas emerge from our brains.
Most businesses, with a few exceptions, have not yet adapted to this new reality, neither the mindsets nor the behaviours that can sustain it, are being fostered or developed.
A great opportunity lies ahead for those who are passionate about developing people. If you are a coach, learning & organisational development professional or a business leader, you may have already noticed that leadership needs to be taught at all levels for people to have the ability to bring their ideas to fruition.
Being effective at managing a team or leading an organisation requires having a balanced and healthy brain & body, as this significantly influences decisions and actions.
These concepts are the basis of our proposition and the core of the i4 Neuroleader™ Methodology, designed to embed these new ways of thinking for the future of work.
I invite you to become an i4 Neuroleader™ Practitioner! Expand your thinking and incorporate this amazing new knowledge and the world's most cutting-edge leadership development methodology into your practice.
By participating in the i4 Neuroleader™ Certification program, you will be able to integrate the role that our biology plays in the development of leaders and collaborative teams. You will walk away with a renewed perspective of yourself and acquire cutting-edge concepts and tools that you can immediately apply to your personal life and workplace.

The most important thing I have taken away from the i4 Neuroleader™ Certification is having a balance, a balance between body and mind and balance between the way your brain functions. You want your brain to be functioning like and orchestra, the i4 Neuroleader™ gives you the tools to be able to synchronise your brain!

Tiffany Wann
Learning & Development Expert
The 360° Feedback i4 Neuroleader™ Assessment has helped me look in the mirror and also see myself in the eyes of people I love, like my family, my friends and also my team. Fortunately, I decided to continue with this certification, and that led to an ‘aha’ moment in my mind. I realised that my health wasn’t part of my core values and that I needed a change, which meant caring about myself and others.
Agustina Yasielski

It was an absolute privilege to attend the i4 Neuroleader™ Certification Program. The passion which Silvia spoke on neuroleadership was inspiring and I commend the About my Brain Institute team for developing such an innovative model!
Paul Knott

The i4 Neuroleader™ Certification was easy to use, engaging and very logically laid out and presented. The experience of completing the online certification was enjoyable in particular because I was able to stop and start and do it at my own pace as well as pick and choose the additional resources that I found to be of interest and explore some areas further.
Lettie Dalton
Coach & Leadership Consultant
A couple of the highlights from the certification program would be getting to understand how powerful the brain is, the power of the research that has been released over last few years and how this can be applied to leadership. The Neuroscience behind this content is absolutely fascinating and has blown me away.

Yes, it does. Once enrolled, you have 12 months to finalise the full certification program (including your assignments). Your enrolment will expire if you cannot complete the program within the established period. A fee of US$590 will apply to regain access, which is the purchase of the annual i4 Practitioner License. Please note that to obtain your i4 Neuroleader™ Practitioner Certificate and associated ICF / CPD credit points, you must complete the whole program independently of extending your enrolment by renewing the annual license.
If you complete the program within 12 months, you will become a certified i4 Practitioner and continue to enjoy access to the first year of your i4 Practitioner License for the remaining period. The license kicks in as soon as you enrol, and you can start using it while you are completing the program since the assignments will guide you to undertake certain activities that ask you to put theory into practice.
The i4 Practitioner License starts on the date you enrol in our program. After your first introductory year, a continuous license is required to have access to our teaching resources, slide decks, facilitator guides, the lessons of the certification program, our affiliate platform (which gives commissions from online sales), dedicated support and the right to use the Intellectual Property of our model and methodology to deliver the i4 Neuroleader™ Program.
The i4 Neuroleader™ Certification online program provides you with the ‘know-how’ to debrief and run coaching interventions with the i4 Neuroleader™ Assessment and gives you a lifetime certification on this knowledge. After you have been certified, you can certainly purchase access to the i4 Neuroleader™ Assessment and deliver debriefs and coaching interventions without paying for an annual license. However, a license is required if you would like to commercialise and/or use the i4 Neuroleader™ Assessment & Methodology and the teaching resources to deliver the i4 Neuroleader™ Program.
We include the first year of the i4 Practitioner License for free when you enrol in the i4 Neuroleader™ Certification program. After this period, you can elect to renew or to stay as a non-active certified i4 Practitioner. Without a license, there are restrictions on delivering and promoting this content. We cover all our licensing details in the certification program. If you have any questions, contact us.
Purchasing assessments without an annual license is certainly an option if you just want to conduct coaching interventions. However, you must be certified. Once you complete the i4 Neuroleader™️ Certification program, you become a ‘certified i4 Practitioner’ for life. You can conduct debriefs of the i4 Neuroleader™ Assessment, even if you do not renew or purchase a license.
The license is linked to our affiliate program, discounts, IP Rights to deliver teaching content with the resources and slides and other licensee benefits listed above. If you are not an active licensee, you would only be accredited to debrief the assessment. In this case, clients can purchase access to the i4 Neuroleader™️ Assessment directly from our public website.
If clients decide to follow your lead and buy access independently, the i4 Neuroleader™️ Report will be automatically released to them as it is a self-managed process. When this occurs, you will not have access to the report or the assessment management process. Once the assessment process is finalised, it is up to you, as the consultant, to follow up with your client and offer to conduct a paid or unpaid debrief/coaching session to go through the results.
The i4 Neuroleader™ Model & Methodology and Assessment is a unique body of work that started in 2009, combining the output of years of research and Silvia Damiano’s original insights. This program certifies Practitioners to use the i4 Neuroleader™ Assessment and the accompanying online development course and resources. With these learning & teaching resources, you can debrief, coach and conduct training sessions for private coaching clients and/or individuals and groups within organisations, however, they cannot be used in public offerings (unless you purchase and maintain the annual i4 Partner License). To use the teaching resources of the i4 Neuroleader™ Program in either a private or public setting, you will need to be an active licensee.
This is one of the most advanced and comprehensive certification programs in the market that comprises the latest knowledge in applied neuroscience and wellbeing to leadership, talent development, cultural transformation and neurocoaching.

As such, it goes beyond any national education or qualifications frameworks currently offered in the market.

Evidence-based concepts and tools have been used to ensure all participants can enhance the competencies outlined by the International Coaching Federation through a new lens, neurobiology.
After completing this certification, participants will receive the title of ‘i4 Neuroleader™ Practitioner’, which is only awarded by the About my Brain Institute.
Although this program is all-inclusive regarding the ICF CCE credit points you will acquire 48 hours (33 CC + 15 RD).
