How to Stay Smart

Brain maintenance program that teaches leaders how to focus and concentrate, minimize headaches and brain fog, remain calm when under stress, and feel at their best throughout the work day.

"I feel so much better: I experience no more energy dips but a steady energy level throughout the day - which has allowed me to finally increase my job activities after being on a prolonged sick leave!"

Program Participant

Organizations need leaders who are sharp, emotionally intelligent, able to focus and make sound decisions under pressure. They need leaders who are present and available for their teams.

The performance of your leaders suffers when they struggle with brain fog, unreliable memory, mood swings, the mid-afternoon slump, headaches, joint pain and overwhelm when faced with increased stress or added complexities. It’s like having a computer freeze in the middle of a 40- page report or a website that’s painfully slow to load – a computer that needs maintenance… Well, like computers, brains need maintenance too!

How to Stay Smart is a brain maintenance program that teaches leaders how to focus and concentrate, minimize headaches and brain fog, remain calm when under stress, and feel at their best throughout the work day. How to Stay Smart teaches leaders how to maintain and optimize their cognitive health, and provides the tools, knowledge and habits to ensure they are always at their best.

What Our Clients Have Said

“Neolé exceeded our expectations. The workshop helped open our eyes to innovation and the areas that we can strengthen as a team to help our corporate culture to be more innovative. We were very pleased at how organized and seamless the facilitation was with participating as large groups as well as entering break-out rooms. It was very engaging and helped us connect. Our team was lacking connection because of COVID. This was the first time that we engaged with each other in a meaningful way. We felt connected and it felt good”

“I think you are a great team which have the good spirit for education and sharing knowledge. One of the most important ideas I got through this workshop was the beautiful concept of the diversity of the thinking preferences. No one of these preferences has an advantage over the others, however they complement each other to make the big picture of innovative teamwork. Thanks”

"Ginny from Neolé brought exceptional facilitation, engagement, and problem-solving skills to lead our senior leadership team in a dynamic half-day session. This session provided valuable insights into our individual and collective workplace culture and practices, equipping us with actionable steps for future success. We’ll definitely keep Ginny and Neolé at top of mind for future leadership sessions!"
