Neurofit Global Empowers Leaders and Professionals Through Cognitive Flexibility Global Leadership Training & Coaching
Some people just seem to be born with the leadership gene, while others struggle to inspire themselves and their people to perform. Especially new leaders can often get caught off balance adjusting to the transition into management.
But in reality, research by Gallup shows that only 10% of people have natural leadership competencies and yet 85% of managers receive no training in how to lead prior to taking on management roles. For the other 90%, (although let’s be fair, surely the 10% appreciate the benefit of leadership development just as well!) if you struggle to lead effectively, you’re not lesser or inadequate, you’re just human.
And cultural differences add another layer of difficulty to leadership.Yet so many leaders are expected to find a way, often without any impactful training or support, to effectively navigate a course while leveraging diverse colleagues among shifting global goal posts.
Fortunately, leadership coaching and training has been shown to close the gaps in raising leadership capabilities and Neurofit Global can help. Our evidence-based global leadership coaching and training programs for individuals and organizations support the development of mental fitness and cognitive flexibility leading to higher performing teams and increased wellbeing, motivation & engagement, and leadership potential.
Leadership Development Optimization
Traditional Learning and Development programs often fall short when it comes to knowledge application and retention, with only 40% of learning applied on the job and just 15% retained after one year! Executive coaching, popularized in the 1980s, has since become a key tool for retaining changes when developing leadership, particularly in boosting emotional intelligence and self-awareness—critical factors in achieving lasting changes in behavior, attitude, and performance.
Research shows that executive coaching and leadership training can drive significant improvements, including
A 10-22% increase in employee engagement
A 21-28% reduction in turnover
An 8-18% boost in team engagement, and a
A 20-28% higher likelihood of performance improvement.

In addition to the statistics related to engagement, performance, and retention, one study conducted in 2023 found that in 752 professionals responsible for leadership development in the US, UK, and Canada, there was an average $7 ROI for every $1 spent on coaching and training, which seemed to result from increased revenue and sales after commencement of leadership development programs, as well as reductions in costs related to increased engagement, ie, lower employee turnover and recruiting costs.

Much of the coaching process is based in the science of Positive Psychology. Coaching exercises and active listening help clients to find clarity of mindset which allows for the integration of the brain, reducing feelings of overwhelm and other negative emotions. Coaching also addresses executive functioning in the process of breaking down action steps towards goals.
Industry research suggests that the first step in leadership abilities is developing self-awareness of one’s positive and potentially unhelpful patterns, which can have a cascading effect where it comes to actual behavior and mindset change which can then be applied in the day to day improvement of employee engagement, leadership skills, wellbeing, social connection, and performance.
Neuroplasticity research shows that the neural networks within the brain are plastic and develop not just in childhood, but into adulthood and beyond. Contrary to popular knowledge that it takes 21 days to make a habit, research shows that on average it actually takes closer to 66 days!
Working with a coach over a period of months increases the likelihood that a coachee will be able to follow through on habit and system formation and create long lasting behavior and mindset changes. If you consider the impact of implementing healthy habits and systems in your life and organization now compared with 5, 10, or 20 years from now, the impact on your organization and people can be exponential.

EI measures have been studied as a predictor of job and leadership performance for over 30 years and used globally in organizations for training purposes.

Similar to our health, our corporate health and leadership development is also always good to manage proactively, but many organizations choose to hire coaches at times of great organizational change, transitions, such as at time of promotions, or mergers and acquisitions, or for the purpose of improving engagement, wellbeing, or developing a culture of sustainable performance to improve unsustainable existing corporate cultures that have already gotten out of hand.
Through leadership coaching programs, anonymous data from participants can also be collected to understand at a high level what participants focused on in their sessions and consider future organizational initiatives or development programs at a level that isn’t always be possible through internal initiatives.
