Brain Training for Optimal Performance
Equip your most valuable people with the training they need to stay sharp & calm under pressure.
You really care about your most dedicated people, whether they are senior leaders, or the newly appointed managers.
They are your best and brightest performers. You want to set them up to succeed as they take on more responsibilities and handle higher levels of stress.
You have given them leadership training and they have an amazing benefits package with access to resources and professional support.
But you can tell they are tired and seem to always have a coffee in hand. Maybe they are struggling with brain fog, are easily distracted by constant notifications, they are not getting good enough sleep, and this leads to them having a hard time remaining calm under pressure.
What if they could be at their best even when the pressure is on?
Imagine your leaders could walk into every meeting feeling sharp and fully present—ideas flow easily, decisions come naturally, and their focus stays steady even when the pressure is high.
No more mental fog, irritability, or that end-of-day brain crash.
They feel smart and on-the-ball again—confident, creative, quick on their feet.
This is how the brain is meant to function and what it can do when it’s trained for peak cognitive performance.
But what we keep hearing is…
Many leaders are feeling more mental fatigue than ever before—they can do the work, but it takes more effort. They are becoming exhausted.
They’ve tried everything: productivity hacks, brain supplements, more coffee, less coffee, mindfulness apps… but the clarity never lasts.
They are overwhelmed by emails, are forgetting names, or losing their train of thought mid-sentence.
They might think it’s stress, age, hormones, or burnout catching up to them.
And deep down, you’re worried—what if they quit altogether?
Here’s what most don’t realize:
The problem is not that your leaders are aging or their memory is failing. It’s that their brains are overworked and undertrained.
Like an athlete who’s pushed past the point of recovery, your leaders’ brains need proper conditioning to perform at their best under pressure.
And the good news? We can retrain them.
What if…
Your leaders could think faster, focus longer, and recall information effortlessly—even after long days and complex meetings?
They’d make smarter decisions with greater confidence.
They’d feel mentally steady and emotionally balanced—even in chaos.
They’d bring creative ideas forward again instead of defaulting to reactive problem-solving.
They’d have capacity to prevent interpersonal conflicts and intervene with ease when conflict does arise.
They’d recover cognitive energy faster, so they can perform like a pro without burning out.
This isn’t wishful thinking—it’s neuroscience in action.
The Science Behind It:
Just like athletes train their bodies, leaders can train their brains for sustained cognitive performance. Our approach blends neurofeedback technology with guided habit formation for measurable improvements in cognitive performance.
We unite neuroscience and coaching—training your brain while supporting the habits that keep it performing at its best.
What is neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a way of training the brain to work at its best—kind of like going to the gym, but for your brain. Participants get to take home an EEG cap with small sensors that measure their brain waves. When doing their training, they put on the cap and relax while watching or listening to a video on the neurofeedback APP. While training, their brain receives gentle feedback that helps it learn healthier patterns. Best of all is that the impact is long lasting and measurable! Neurofeedback uses the brain’s natural plasticity to help it rewire inefficient patterns—so leaders regain clarity, focus, calm, and decision-making power.

How it Works:
Neurofeedback is like a personal trainer for your leaders’ brains—only it’s completely effortless. They sit back. Their brain does the work. They just need to commit to a 20min training routine plus bi-weekly coaching sessions with their brain coach.
Step 1: Your Leaders' Brain Assessment
A 90-minute, in-person session where we map your leaders’ brain activity to see how efficiently it processes information, handles stress, and sustains focus.
No shocks, no gel—just sensors that “listen” to their brainwaves. Together, we’ll review their brain map and identify areas to strengthen.
Step 2: Their First Brain Training Experience
Right after their assessment, your leaders will try their first neurofeedback session. They’ll wear a lightweight cap, relax with a short video or audio while their brain receives real-time feedback—learning to optimize its patterns automatically.
Step 3: Their 3-Month Home Training Program
Based on their brain map, we’ll create a personalized training plan.
They’ll train 20 minutes a day from home (or the office), and meet bi-weekly with their brain coach to review results, refine their training protocol, and integrate practical cognitive performance habits.
Step 4: Lasting Neuroplasticity
Over time, their brain learns to sustain optimal focus, faster processing, and balanced decision-making—without mental fatigue or overreliance on caffeine or adrenaline.
Once their brain has learned these patterns, they stick.
Who Is This For?
This program is ideal for:
- Senior leaders, directors, and managers who rely on quick thinking and sound judgment to make important decisions.
- People who feel mentally drained, easily distracted, or slower to recall details than before.
- High achievers who want to stay mentally sharp and protect their cognitive edge for years to come.
It’s not for leaders who:
- Are looking for a magic fix without commitment.
- Are not interested in exploring the science of mental performance and self-optimization.
- Are not open to exploring habits that will support their brain health long into the future.

Adjunct Professor & Brain Coach: Helping ambitious leaders thrive in high-pressure roles without sacrificing health, sleep or joy
Hi, I’m Ginny Santos.
My obsession with brain health and cognitive performance began when I received an irritating letter from my dad. I was 19, living abroad. The letter included a news clipping. The headline read “Study Finds Women’s Brains Smaller Than Men’s”. 🤯
My dad’s message was well-meaning, he believed that I should always come to him for advice because he would always know better than me!
Fast forward, and I had become an expert soft skills trainer. For over a decade, I taught executive MBA grads and leaders participating in my L&D programs. But what I kept seeing, over and over again, were brilliant minds running on empty. Exhausted people who could only absorb or apply a small portion of the skills I was teaching, no matter how motivated they were. Their brains were simply too tired.
That’s what motivated me to dig deep into neuroscience, brain health, cognitive skills, nervous system regulation, and eventually, neurofeedback.
My Professional Training
With certifications in neurofeedback, nutrition science, and nervous-system-based coaching—and a Master’s of Science—I combine neuroscience and practical strategy to help leaders stay mentally sharp, creative, and calm under pressure.
Who I work with
Today, I work with high achievers and leaders who depend on their brains the way athletes depend on their bodies. When stress, fatigue, or overwork start to slow their cognitive performance, I help them retrain their brains to think faster, focus longer, sleep deeply, and make decisions with clarity and confidence.
My Experience
With over 20 years of experience in consulting, training & facilitation, including 16 years as an adjunct professor, I bring a deep, academic foundation to my work.
Through Neolé, the company I founded, I’ve worked with clients across sectors—from start-up founders and non-profits leaders, to administrators at the Pentagon and secret service agents at a national security agency in a G7 country. I’ve designed workshops, facilitated leadership retreats, and coached teams through cultural and behavioural transformation. But my favourite thing? Helping leaders reclaim the kind of energy and mental sharpness that fuels great decisions, problem-solving under pressure, and a sense of purpose at work and at home.
On the Personal Side
Originally from Spain, I’m a mother of four (two of my own kids + two step-kids), a dog lover, and a lifelong learner with a goal of living to 100 in good health—because what’s the point of success if we can’t enjoy it?

FAQ:
How long is a Brain Training program?
Most clients train for 3 months, but your leaders can choose to do a more intensive training approach so that they finish earlier or they can take it slower and extend it over a few more months.
I’m busy—how much time will this take?
Just 20 minutes a day for brain training, plus a bi-weekly check-in with me via Zoom. Your leaders can train while watching a video, listening to music, or relaxing—so it’s easy to fit in. And think of the hours they will get back once they are well slept and full of energy for their work and all their responsibilities.
Do my leaders have to make big lifestyle changes?
Not at all. Your leaders won’t need to overhaul their diet or commit to complicated routines. During our bi-weekly check-ins, we may explore small, practical habits—like improving sleep routines, exploring snack choices—that can help their brain stay sharp and responsive. The goal is to identify simple, easy-to-implement changes that fit seamlessly into their lifestyle so that their brain training sticks and their focus, memory, and creativity continue to improve.
Do my leaders have to come to you for every session?
No. They’ll only come in for their initial assessment and final graduation assessment. Or we can arrange for me to come to your office if that’s better. The rest of their training happens wherever they are, using the at-home neurofeedback system.
What if my leaders are not in the Greater Toronto Area—can they still do Brain Training remotely?
Yes! While we prefer to do the initial assessment in person, it’s not required. If your leaders are outside the GTA, we can ship their neurofeedback device directly to them and guide them step-by-step over Zoom. During your free consult, we’ll discuss your situation and confirm whether a remote program is the best fit for your organization.
What does neurofeedback feel like?
Completely effortless. Your leaders will wear a lightweight sensor cap, watch or listen to audio or video content on their phone, and their brain will receive real-time feedback to encourage healthier patterns. Most people find it relaxing—even enjoyable.
Is it safe?
Yes. Neurofeedback is non-invasive, medication-free, and backed by decades of neuroscience research. It relies on the principles of neuroplasticity, nervous system regulation, and homeostasis. In other words, it simply trains their brain to return to its optimal state.
If neurofeedback is so effective, why is this the first time I’m hearing about it?
Neurofeedback isn’t new—it’s been used in clinical settings, hospitals, and research labs for decades to help people with sleep issues, attention challenges, and brain injuries (among many other conditions). What is new is the technology that now allows this powerful training to be done at home. In recent years, advances in neurofeedback devices and software have made it possible for clients to train their brains from the comfort of home, with the expert guidance of a certified coach, at a fraction of the cost of in-clinic programs. This means the same science-backed approach that was once limited to medical settings is now more accessible, flexible, and affordable than ever before.
Is neurofeedback covered by my leaders' benefits package?
While most extended healthcare plans in Canada do not fully cover neurofeedback, many clients access funding through workplace wellness budgets or performance coaching allowances. Some employers offer Health & Welfare Trusts (HWTs) or flexible spending accounts that allow funds for stress management, biofeedback, or cognitive performance tools—not always named “neurofeedback,” but often broad enough to apply.
What if my leaders want to work on something beyond focus and performance?
Absolutely. Neurofeedback can be tailored to support areas such as emotional regulation, stress resilience, or sleep if needed. During their initial brain assessment, we’ll identify where their brain could benefit most—whether it’s improving recall, enhancing creativity, or staying calm under pressure.
Can my leaders travel while in the program?
Yes! Their neurofeedback system is portable, and we’ll show them how to set it up wherever they are. All they need is a Bluetooth-enabled phone and a Wi-Fi or data connection, and they can continue their training from anywhere.
Imagine This...
Your leaders walk into a high-stakes meeting fully present, thinking two steps ahead.
The right words come easily. They solve problems with clarity and confidence.
Their creativity flows, and decisions feel effortless.
They finish the day energized instead of drained—because their brain has learned how to perform efficiently, not frantically.
This isn’t just about productivity.
It’s about reclaiming their mental sharpness, creativity, and confidence—so they can keep leading with clarity and calm for years to come.
The Decision Is Yours
This program is for leaders who want long-lasting & measurable results. It enables neuroplasticity and rewires their brain for lasting change. No one-size-fits-all solutions. Just evidence-based coaching combined with neurofeedback which taps into their brain’s natural capacity for growth and repair.
