“This has been such a reassuring course – great to know there are lots of ways I can keep my brain active and sharpen my memory.”

“I wanted to say a big thank you for the recent Brainfit At Work session you led with my team. The way you seamlessly blended scientific knowledge with real-world applications allowed us to grasp the concepts in a tangible way. Your passion for the subject matter and your engaging presentation style made the experience all the more enriching.

What stood out the most was the universal resonance of your session. It wasn’t just about absorbing information; it was about recognizing the potential for growth and improvement within ourselves. Your ability to touch upon areas that everyone could relate to created a sense of unity and shared purpose and we are genuinely grateful for the opportunity to learn from you.”

Very Helpful. A great investment in my wellbeing

We had such great feedback from your Brainfit session and it was definitely a highlight for many. Thank you so much for bringing not only your story and energy to the room, but giving us all some sound, practical and achievable advice and solutions. The wellbeing of our people is so important, and your session was so valuable.

“Wow…. You have got a lot of the workforce talking after the Brainfit training! The staff who attended were blown away by what they experienced and the conversations that have followed since have been unreal. I’ve even witnessed a couple of staff members make complete lifestyle switches as a result because they resonated with your story and could see the path they were heading down too. Thank you so much Jude, I’ve truly loved partnering with you to bring this to Waipā and really look forward to the journey ahead together.”

”Excellent for one’s confidence. I now feel I know what will be expected of me and I can prepare. Great information.” 

I have gained a lot of knowledge working alongside Brainfit. The knowledge learnt paired up with application has been life changing. Small steps is all that I had to start with but the more I practiced the better I became. And It is interesting, in hindsight to recognise that, for me, that cloak of reluctance and a sense of ‘can’t be bothered’ followed me round for a while with some games and cognitive exercises. But I remained resilient with one foot in front of the other, and the outcome was immensely rewarding. For example, I had never done sudoku because I considered it too hard. I do two a day now because I find it enjoyable. Merging is my new word for just adding an exercise to the equation when waiting for the washing machine to finish. Standing in a line memorising interesting facts etc.

Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and change, is around us every day. That is an amazing opportunity . High five to the brain and to you for practising.

“It’s lovely to be able to call people by name too. (And it pleases me to remember where I read or heard something.) Such small joys but they all add up. THANK YOU.”

“The Brainfit workshop was information rich but well-presented so easy to absorb. Our team thoroughly enjoyed the learning and were stoked to come away with a suite of tangible, practical tips to apply to their day-to-day work. Thank you so much Ina”

“Before the golf club meeting, I visualized the people I might meet and ran their names through my mind. I could ‘see’ them. This helped me recognize people and their names quickly. I also used the focus – connect strategy when I met a new club member. I listened to his name, used it when I replied and introduced him to another friend almost straight away. It works – I proved it!”

“I felt for me to benefit from the Memory Tune I needed to read it through each day to remind me again of how to remember different aspects. By consolidating each module that was sent it helped to be able to practice it in every day situations. So to remember this I needed to go over the tasks frequently. I found then too that I was better able to retain the activity to my advantage.”

“I had an opportunity to practice remembering names at a social gathering on Friday where we met a lot of new people. Being an inquisitive person I found it easier to probe into people’s names rather than weave a story around them. For instance I was introduced to a lady called Sheryl and asked her if she was Sheryl or Cheryl. By concentrating on people’s names and repeating them as soon as possible I was able to remember most people I met, even differentiating between an Annette and a Lynette so was quite pleased.”

I am thoroughly enjoying the course and find it very beneficial, so thank you.

“I really enjoyed the workshop you put on for us and there were several points that I took from the workshop that were very valuable and have stuck with me. I was particularly impressed with your top 6 tips for looking after one’s brain and avoiding overload and I have to say these tips have been very helpful. I have been engaging the ‘focus, connect, rehearse technique and one area it helps me is remembering people’s names, something that in this business, and in just about any walk of life, really makes a difference to people when you remember their names. Thanks again Ina and I can highly recommend your workshop to any organisation, big or small. There is something there for everyone, it is entertaining, informative, and helpful.”

“The course was fun and well presented. I found myself looking forward to each class and was very pleased when I got the opportunity to catch up on one class that I was unable to attend at the time.”

“Already I feel much less worried about fading memory. The course has made me aware of some techniques I already use such as placing car keys in the same place. It is great – I love it. Have made notes of the 7 methods and will carry that in my purse for referral at spare moments. Thanks a million.”

“Thanks for yesterday’s ‘power hour & a half!’ After the training, I spoke about the content with my husband and he particularly liked (as well as I) methods to learn someone’s name by taking a mental picture and making relevant associations. We will both be trying this as and when we meet new people.”

“I wanted to again extend my gratitude for the remarkable Brainfit At Work session you led at the Summit. Your session was undeniably one of the highlights for so many of us, and it left a lasting impact on all those who attended. Your ability to distil complex concepts into practical takeaways was truly impressive. The insights you shared during the Brainfit session resonated with each of us on a personal and professional level. It was as if a lightbulb had illuminated, revealing new perspectives and actionable strategies that we can implement to better ourselves.

The session was not just informative; it was transformative – It sparked a renewed sense of curiosity and a commitment to lifelong learning. We walked away with actionable steps that we can incorporate into our daily lives to enhance our cognitive fitness and overall well-being so thank you for sharing your expertise and insights with us in such a relatable and impactful way.”

“I enjoyed the reaction I received and have continued to please myself when meeting new people. I am definitely more aware that I must concentrate to achieve this result. It’s a good feeling! Knowing that I, myself, have the ability to make this happen is very empowering.”

“There are so many pills and potions around which are supposed to help the brain it is refreshing to know that exercising the brain as you would your body is more beneficial with no negative side effects. The course was very helpful.”
