Engaged, inspired and resilient
The Science
of SyncUp
What if most leadership development programs were educating only half a mind and ignoring brain basics?
Look Better?
Overwhelmed and distracted
Energized and focused
Running on empty – approaching burnout
Bias and autopilot rule – caught in a swirl by uncertainty and ambiguity
Agile thinker, big picture driven, emotionally regulated and present
“Me” focused, unhealthy competition, fear and mistrust undermine collaboration and innovation
Healthy challenge and support expected and accepted, innovation and collaboration brings out the best in all
There is a disconnect between where we invest our money and the results we expect. There are two sides to the development coin.
U.S. corporations spend almost 14 billion annually on leadership development. Yet we still complain about the leadership deficit.
Horizontal
Development
- Traditional leadership development programs
- Focus on building skills and adding competencies
- Do what we already know how to do better
Vertical
Development
- An emerging, evidence based set of best practices
- Focus on growing the mental agility that leads to strategic thinking
- Learn how to thrive in a dynamic and uncertain world

The Science Behind Our Model
We bring together two strands of new research: neuroscience and vertical development. In the last 20 years we’ve learned more about the brain than in the entire course of human history.
Growing mindsets with neuroscience and vertical development.
We are in the midst of a neuroscience revolution. Neuroplasticity, our ability to use our mind to change our brain, is a fact. When coupled with vertical learning strategies, the science of how our mindsets grow and change throughout our lifetime, neuroscience becomes neurolearning for leaders. Bigger mindsets translate into the agility required to lead effectively in a complex and ever-changing world.
The SyncUp group translates the benefits of neuroscience into a practical, scalable approach to developing your leadership mindset. We help you discover and develop new capacity.

Brain Facts:
Linking our limbic system (memories and emotions) to our executive functioning (prefrontal cortex) reduces reactivity and increases cognitive agility.
Brain Facts:
Our brains are connected – we have mirror neurons that help us understand what others are thinking and feeling. Our brains are social organs – we develop better brain functioning and increased neuroplasticity in healthy relationships.
Brain Facts:
Multitasking is a myth and people who believe that they are are good multi-taskers tend to suffer the biggest loss in performance.
Brain Facts:
Your brain may be small (2 percent of your body weight) but it uses about 20 percent of your bodies oxygen and glucose. Concentrating and putting the brakes on unhealthy and impulsive behavior takes even more energy.
Brain Facts:
Emotional regulation – the ability to link your limbic system (emotions and memories) with your prefrontal cortex (executive functioning) leads to better decisions and healthier relationships.
Brain Facts:
We have 100s of biases that automatically influence our decision making. Understanding how your brain and mind function can help you mitigate those biases.
Brain Facts:
Working memory, the foundation of your brains’ executive functioning, improves with sleep, exercise and good nutrition.
Brain Facts:
Sleep and exercise are brain boosting practices. The longer you work without frequent breaks – the less efficient your brain is in helping you make good decisions.
Brain Facts:
Mindful awareness – how you use your attention and awareness – changes the brain, boosts immunity and increases well being.
