“There’s a disconnect between what science knows and what business does.” Dan Pink, 2009 TED talk ‘The Puzzle of Motivation’
Almost ten years on since Dan Pink’s revolutionary statement and the disconnect is still there in many organisations. Shifting attitudes and behaviour at a fundamental level is never comfortable, but that is what is being asked of today’s leaders to embrace the new reality and create a strong future.

Delivery style
- The program is interactive, engaging and a lot of fun, with practical exercises for participants to apply and embed the new insights and knowledge.

Behavioural Profiling
Many organisations find it helpful to engage with profiling alongside the NeuroTREAD program.
Profiling enables participants to understand their underlying behavioural preferences and why they approach situations and individuals in particular ways.
This information allows leaders to consciously modify or adapt their behaviours to achieve the best results within their team.
PRISM Brain Mapping profile tool
We offer PRISM Brain Mapping, which uses a neuroscience-based approach to identify an individual’s ‘behaviour preferences’ by mapping brain activity in 8 behaviour dimensions and 26 key aspects of work preference.
This is available preceding the NeuroTREAD program or as a separate workshop.

Feedback from clients
It’s been a pleasure working with Vanessa for leadership coaching. The approach is methodical, scientific and practical for executives in dealing with the nuances of stakeholder engagement to drive for the right outcomes.
90-day Peak Performance Leadership Development Program to embed a new habit/skill.
Conrad Chang, Management Consultant, Customer Experience Strategy and Service Design, Corporate Strategy and Growth.
Vannessa ran a wonderfully compelling and valuable workshop for Agilyx covering ‘the Neuroscience of peak personal performance and teamwork’. She delivered the subject matter in a warm, relaxed manner that made it very easy for people to relate to, but in no way diminished the piercing insights and genuinely empowering lessons we were all able to take from it.
The impact of the session is already plain to see across our organisation, and I hope we see Vannessa again in the future to help up continue on our journey to improved personal performance as well as cultural and team growth.
Oliver Pritchard – Regional Sales Manager, Agilyx Group
Vannessa came in to do a one day workshop on the ‘Neuroscience of peak personal performance and teamwork’. Her session was informative and resonated deeply with the entire team. It was interactive and engaging. Her recommendations were practical and gave some of us real direction for improvement.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Vannessa to anyone looking to learn how to better relate to their team and improve themselves!
James Yong – Project Manager, Agilyx Group
Vannessa recently conducted a fantastic EnHansen Performance Neuroscience of Leadership session for our newly promoted Senior Managers, It was delivered with high energy, engaged the leaders and provided practical tools and strategies to better sustain peak performance. Highlights for me were around prioritising brain breaks and balance, everyday. Thank you for bringing your passion and insights, we loved it!
Lucy Ingold, Leadership & Learning Senior Consultant, Deloitte
Vannessa McCamley is an engaging and dynamic speaker and it was great to have her present on the Neuroscience of Leadership at the Institute of Managers and Leaders Masterclass: ‘Accidental Leader to Intentional Leader’ in March 2018. The material resonated well with our audience of technical specialists who were wanting to develop their leadership skills. Vannessa‘s presentation was a perfect blend of insight and humour and I highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.
Tamara Wright, Head of CPD and Events, Institute of Managers and Leaders
Attending EnHansen Performance Leading through change and transition workshop. Vannessa was an incredible facilitator, easy to learn from and engaging. Three key learnings to increase my capability in self-leadership and change leadership are: have a Growth Mindset, consider the social behavioural model (ACCESS), and recognise my threat triggers to change my reaction. Amazing course, thank you.
Courtney Houston, Manager, IAG Insurance
The link Success Leadership training program was an experience that will benefit me for life. One of Vanessa’s passions is to help individuals and organisations overcome their barriers to achieve success. Applying this mantra Vanessa ran practical sessions which allowed the team and I to find the answers through asking questions to make us think. Through this process and Vanessa’s guidance we all experienced realisation of techniques to improve ourselves on both a professional and personal level to help deal with situations that need leadership in a more proactive way. I definitely recommend Vanessa as a mentor to any individual or organisation who wants to grow and meet their goals as she did for ours
Alex Longstaff, Account Manager, McCorkell & Associates
I’ve been very fortunate to have been working with Vannessa since August 2016. As a member of the leadership team at McCorkell, Vannessa has been working with me on a regular basis across a wide range of professional and personal development programs. Vannessa’s depth of knowledge, personal attention and ability to ask the right questions has been beyond invaluable. I consider myself a better leader, manager, mentor, employee and person due to her coaching and training sessions. It also greatly helps that she is one of the nicest and most genuine people you could hope to work with!
Bronwyn Cook, Senior Account Director & Head of B2B Strategy, McCorkell
Vannessa is a very engaging presenter who runs a well paced workshop. The Neuroscience of Leadership an EnHansen Performance Program gave me a greater understanding how the brain works as a social organ and strategies for improving workplace interactions.
