Neuro Wise Leadership™
For coaches, leaders, and helping professionals who know their work transforms lives... but struggle to explain why in a way that earns trust and buy-in.
I'll show you how to weave the many threads of your expertise into coherent, science-backed positioning and messaging so you become the trusted authority and go-to voice your expertise deserves.
TRUSTED BY
When you understand the science behind your wisdom, something profound happens:
You trust yourself more deeply
You explain your approach with clarity and confidence
You stop second-guessing what you know works
You innovate from a place of grounded understanding rather than borrowed techniques
You realize how rare and valuable your unique gifts and experiences truly are.
"Researched-backed confirmation of what I knew intuitively but couldn't explain"
"Working with Stefanie gave me research-backed confirmation of what I knew intuitively but couldn’t explain. Our conversations sharpened my ability to work with people who think, feel, and solve problems differently—and to choose the most effective approach for them as an advisor.
- Terri Yeh, Founder of NeuroLevever
You've invested years developing real expertise. Yet something still feels incomplete.
You attend workshops. You read books. You follow podcasts. You collect certifications. And yes, this knowledge is valuable.
But when someone asks you to explain why your approach works, the words feel scattered.
You know it works. You've seen the results. But translating that into language that makes skeptics lean in? That's harder.
Maybe you've noticed:
People don't fully understand your work, so buy-in stays low and follow-through is weak.
Your message feels powerful to you, but it's not landing with the clarity others need to take it seriously.
You're overflowing with knowledge, but it's scattered, with no cohesive system to explain or teach your expertise.
You feel a quiet imposter syndrome when you start explaining the science behind what you do.
You don't need another degree.
You don't need 'more' information.
You need a framework that helps you explain what you already know,
through a science lens that honors YOUR WISDOM.
I'm Stefanie Faye
For over 15 years, I've helped leaders and change agents translate their scattered insights into science-backed frameworks that earn respect and increase buy-in.
My work has been used by MIT, Google, the FBI, Stanford, Northwestern University, and UCSD School of Medicine, as well as nonprofits, schools, and educators worldwide. I've been featured in Talks@Google, TEDx, and Apple+ News, named one of "10 Visionary Women Changing the World in 2025."
I combine rigorous research with deep training in mindfulness and cross-cultural wisdom traditions, bringing science and humanity together in a way few programs do.
What I've seen again and again: Your deepest wisdom elevates when you meet the science that explains it.
Why the Neuro Wise Approach helps you transform your work as a leader, coach and professional
Traditional Courses
Surface-level tips, tricks and tactics that that don’t get to the roots of behavior (and fade after a few weeks)
One-size-fits-all approach (nothing about YOUR expertise or your specific clients and challenges)
Rigid ideas that keep us away from our natural intelligence
Focused on the brain and/or the body without Systems Thinking and often lacking social/developmental/cultural context
Neuro Wisdom Approach
Deep roots of behavior and mindset to tap into long-term agency & empowerment
Customized to Clarify YOUR unique expertise and how your background and perspectives help others
Flexibly Focused to help you tune into your clients’ patterns & rhythms: enhance pattern recognition and adaptability
Highly adaptive: Custom to you and your clients’/ staff/ audience’s goals, strengths, rhythm
Even if…
You feel like an imposter when it comes to talking about neuroscience ...
That’s why we give you worksheets and recordings, plus live group coaching sessions where you can get personalized feedback AND transcripts that you can use to reflect on, practice, copy, paste and apply to help you internalize insights
You have a crazy schedule or zero consistent free time...
As you take your time with the content, gradually over the year, you'll benefit from incrementally reflecting on your own work, your people, your expertise - and integrating what is presented. You get 2 years access to the material so you can take your time with bite size pieces. These insights are meant to build slowly, and subconsciously as they connect dots for you in real life, real time
You’ve attended other neuro-trainings or consume neuroscience podcasts and media…
Those sources give you ideas, but they don’t help you personalize and validate YOUR work with YOUR people. In this program, you get a system of frameworks that help you customize neuroscience for you and your work.
Because Neuro Wisdom isn’t about surface level learning. It’s about how we SEE ourselves and others.
Distinctives & Principles of Neuro wisdom
De-emphasis on skill acquisition
Our main goal is not to learn what to DO but rather how to SEE, NOT to acquire skill but rather to expand and flex our view.
Likewise in helping others, Neuro Wisdom expands beyond teaching people what to do and expand into teaching others how to SEE themselves and the world around them.
Rather than hyper-focus on strategies, Neuro-Wisdom facilitates insight. This doesn’t mean skills and strategies aren’t valuable. But they become truly effective when they emerge from a foundation of embodied wisdom and nervous system awareness.
Long-Term Empowerment vs. Quick Fixes
Many training programs and approaches are quick-fix driven. It’s important to distinguish between what is asked for and what is needed.
What is often asked for is advice; what is needed is insight. What is often demanded is a quick fix; what is required is perspective.
This training program is strongly grounded in the philosophy to resist the pull of quick fixes so that we can help others' expand into long-term self-empowerment.
Personal integration of the material
To make sense of the people in our presence, we need to personally apply and integrate what we learn.
The Collective encourages this process with reflection assignments, monthly teachings, and invitations and exercises to help you apply and consolidate what you're learning - all with the support of a community.
