INTELLIGENCE
What This Program Does For You
INSPIRE. CREATE. INNOVATE.
Integrative Communication & Emotional Intelligence is a coaching cohort where participants will gain the strategies and knowledge to build rapport, influence, better listening, and unlock the key to effective communication! Communication skills involve listening, speaking, observing and empathizing. In this coaching experience, you will learn and apply communication tools based in neuroscience and positive psychology which will enable you a new level of freedom to communicate in any situation with effectiveness.
Consider for a moment how much you communicate verbally, nonverbally and with the written language. For most people the word “communication” is synonymous with “talking to people”, when in fact effective communication is a “shared dialogue that conveys sharing of ideas, creating stronger solutions, and building rapport across the exchange” (Trudeau, 2021). The Journal of Communication measured to what extent we utilize communication in general and it showed that you spend almost 75% of your day in some form communicating to other (Klemmer & Synder). We actually underestimate the amount of communication we utilize.
​
This fall we are breaking the codes on communication preferences or patterns among the different personality types. We will explore the MBTI preferences research as well as the Strengths Finders assets to learn how to communicate with more effectiveness across the different preference styles.
The world is made of all different personalities, preferences, and styles. By developing strategies to build more effective rapport across these differences we will increase happiness, productivity, accomplishments, as well as overall building stronger relationships. By helping people understand themselves, Myers and Briggs believed that they could help people select occupations that were best suited to their personality types and lead healthier, happier lives.
In the world the research from the MBTI Foundation shows that that there are quite a bit of differences across the personalities. The second letter in the four letter preference demonstrates the first real area to explore; how we interpret and receive information.
​
Integrative Communication & Emotional Intelligence builds each workshop to bring in new, critical skills that build on the previous material connecting major communication techniques together with application to your life. This course will guide you through an integrated model of communication techniques.

SVLA is not a class; it’s a personal development opportunity. This means participants can customize the outcomes they want to see as well as be coached on areas in which they want to find solutions and new practices.
This Program has 3 CHOICES for succinct powerful smaller class sizes to deepen the learning
1.
Neuroscience for Leaders
The Science of Success: How Your Brain Shapes Your Future
Success isn’t about working harder—it’s about leading smarter, from the inside out. The Science of Success is a 6-session, neuroscience-based coaching experience that equips high-achieving professionals with brain-optimized tools for clarity, performance, and confidence. Each session targets a key leadership skill through the lens of cutting-edge brain research and practical application.
​
In this dynamic workshop, you'll discover:
-
🌟 Session 1 – The Language of Influence:
-
The words you use shape how others feel, act, and trust you.
-
Science: Mirror neurons and oxytocin pathways are activated by empathetic, action-oriented language—creating instant rapport and motivating teams (Rizzolatti et al., 2004).
-
-
🌟 Session 2 – Focus Over Friction:
-
Your attention is your greatest asset. Guard it like capital.
-
Science: Dopamine overload from multitasking and digital interruptions depletes the brain’s executive function, reducing decision quality and task efficiency (APA, 2022).
-
-
🌟 Session 3 – Building a Winning Mindset:
-
The stories you repeat become the outcomes you create.
-
Science: The Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters your reality based on dominant beliefs, directing attention toward what aligns with your identity (Moruzzi & Magoun, 1949).
-
-
🌟 Session 4 – Decision Intelligence:
-
Fast, clear choices aren’t rushed—they’re rehearsed.
-
Science: The prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex assess risk and reward; reducing decision fatigue improves long-term focus and emotional control (Shenhav et al., 2013).
-
-
🌟 Session 5 – The Confidence Loop:
-
Confidence is not personality—it’s a pattern you train.
-
Science: Dopamine and serotonin circuits regulate mood and self-belief; mental rehearsal rewires those pathways for presence under pressure (Doidge, 2007).
-
-
🌟 Session 6 – Integration & Implementation:
-
What you practice daily becomes who you are next quarter.
-
Science: Long-term neuroplasticity requires repetition, emotional engagement, and meaningful context—turning new skills into lasting behavioral change (Draganski et al., 2006).
-
​
This is success backed by science—and built for real-world leadership. Ready to retrain your brain and rewire your results?​

Neurolanguage for Emotional Intelligence
Ready to elevate your communication skills, boost motivation, and transform old patterns? Join us for a transformative coaching workshop where you'll delve into the art and science of neuro-language to unlock your full potential and enhance your emotional intelligence.
​
In this dynamic workshop, you'll discover:
​
-
🌟 Session 1 - Neuroplasticity & the Language of Growth
-
Rewiring the brain through mindful communication
-
Definition: Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change through new thought patterns and behaviors. Language plays a key role in shaping neural responses.
-
-
🌟 Session 2 - The Social Brain & Creating Calm
-
Rapport and connection are built through neurobiological safety cues.
-
Definition: The social brain network (amygdala, prefrontal cortex, insula) regulates how we detect safety and connection in others.
-
-
🌟 Session 3 - Emotional Granularity & the Language of Feelings
-
High emotional vocabulary leads to better regulation and relational outcomes.
-
Definition: Emotional granularity is the ability to distinguish and label nuanced emotional states, rather than defaulting to “angry” or “stressed.”
-
-
🌟 Session 4 - Building Nonverbal Effectiveness
-
Empathy and trust are often built nonverbally, through mirrored behavior and emotional resonance.
-
Definition: Mirror neurons are brain cells that fire both when we act and when we observe others act—helping us intuit others’ emotions and intentions.
-
-
🌟 Session 5 - Motivation & Change Talk
-
Language shapes readiness for change by activating the brain’s motivation systems.
-
Definition: “Change talk” refers to self-expressed reasons for change, which activate reward circuits (dopaminergic pathways) in the brain.
-
-
🌟 Session 6 - The “You” Effect – Personalization for Enhanced Connection
-
Relational Neurobiology, Social Cognition, and the Brain’s Response to Personal Relevance
-
The “You” Effect refers to the neurological and emotional impact of personalized communication—when language, tone, and attention are tailored in a way that activates connection pathways in the brain, making the other person feel uniquely seen, safe, and important.
-
​​​
NEW: We are adding 4 extra mandatory 60-minute coaching sessions for accountability and support. The sign-up for accountability coaching will occur during Session 1 and be held either Tuesdays or Fridays of the 4th week of the month.
