Every Practitioner in Applied Neuroscience
has a chance to become a npn Neuroplastician®
The concept of the Neuroplastician as a specialist in practical applications of neuroplasticity is the next wave of professional. development.
Dr. Richard Maybury
Professor & President at Knowles Johnson Institute of Graduate Studies, Boston, USA
The npn Neuroplastician® Credential, is governed by the Organizational Neuroplasticity Council. This prestigious designation is offered in three categories for the specialist coach who presents expertise in the application of neuroplasticity-based tools.
Dr. K. Maguire
Professor & Business School Research, Middlesex University, UK
Each category of the npn Neuroplastician® Credential, represents a designation of achievements, significant in applied neuroscience and coaching. This credential signifies specialized expertise in applied neuroscience, based on previous training and current expertise.
It is distinct from any other coaching, practitioner or clinical professional credential.
Dr. Justin Kennedy
TEDx, Behavioural Neuroscience Professor at Monarch Business School, Switzerland
Neuroscience is a trending science and comes along with rising demand in professional certification programs. Many coaches, educators and healthcare practitioners look for qualified providers to learn about the Application of Neuroscience in their discipline.
The npn Neuroplastician® status is based on existing expertise and previous training to apply neuroscience in your practice. The certificate will give you the credibility of calling yourself a npn Neuroplastician®.
Attend our next Roundtable about the Emerging Discipline of the Neuroplastician with Live Q&A hosted by Dr. JJ Kennedy to understand who qualifies to become a npn Neuroplastician® and how to start the application process.
The npn Neuroplastician® Credential
The understanding of neuroscience in an organizational context is vital for leaders in pivotal roles where one single decision can decide over life of death. As a Neuroplastician, I apply neuroscience in my Organizational Maneuverability Course and my work with pilots.
Randy Swaim, PhD Cand.
US Air Force Aviator, Trainer, Author, Executive Coach & Speaker, USA
I have had a chance to contribute to defining the methodology with the ION community of fellows, to equip leaders to improve their influence and impact. The practice of the Neuroplastician has been vitally important to me in the context of leadership in education.
Dr. Judi Newman
Ph.D. in educational neuroscience, Applied Neuroscience Training Provider, Australia
I endorse the discipline of the Neuroplastician. My aim is to constructively empower and transform the lives of teachers and students. This begins by answering this maxim “I’ve got the power to change my brain, my thinking, my behavior, my attitude, my choices, my actions and my life.

Who is considered a Neuroplastician®?The npn Neuroplastician® is a non-clinical practitioner, educator, or coach who specializes in applied neuroscience. These professionals may be certified coaches, healthcare practitioners, educators, or organizational consultants. It is important to note that Neuroplasticians are not considered medical professionals and cannot provide medical advice. Watch The Video:
-
What is the difference between a Neuroplastician® and a Neuroscientist?A neuroscientist is an academic scientist who studies the nervous system, the brain, spinal cord, and neurons, to understand how they influence disease and behavior. A Neuroplastician® uses the knowledge from the science and brings it to life by applying specific tools to increase neuroplasticity from behavior change. Increased neuroplasticity has a significantly positive impact on desired behavior, emotional processing, cognitive power, memory, creativity, health, and well-being.
