As professionals increasingly look for evidence-based ways to strengthen leadership, communication, and client relationships, neuroscience is becoming a valuable part of professional development. Stefanie Faye, neuroscience expert, author, and founder of Mindset Neuroscience, is helping make that education more accessible through a new collection of self-paced micro-courses designed for coaches, leaders, therapists, and other professionals.
The new educational offerings are led by Teach the Nervous System, Faye’s flagship micro-course, which introduces practical neuroscience concepts participants can immediately apply in their work. The courses are designed to help professionals better understand human behavior while strengthening their credibility through science-based education.
Faye says, “Soft skills aren’t ‘soft.’ They’re brain science. The better the helpers and leaders of the world understand this, the more they will be able to attract audiences and projects to their expertise.”
The launch represents an expansion of Faye’s educational platform, offering professionals a flexible entry point into her broader ecosystem of neuroscience-based training. In addition to the new micro-courses, participants can continue into her advanced academies and group accelerator programs for more in-depth study.
Designed for busy professionals, the self-paced format translates complex neuroscience into practical lessons that can be integrated into everyday leadership, coaching and communication. Rather than focusing solely on theory, the courses emphasize real-world application, helping participants communicate their value more clearly while supporting clients, teams and organizations more effectively.
Faye is the author of Biomechanics of Human Communication: Neurophysiology and Regulation, published by De Gruyter, and creator of the Super-Regulators Framework™, a neuroscience-based methodology that helps professionals strengthen their positioning, messaging and leadership through a deeper understanding of nervous system regulation and human transformation.
Her work draws on nearly two decades of experience training executives, educators and organizations across a wide range of industries. Throughout her career, Faye has worked with professionals from institutions including MIT, Google, the FBI, Stanford University, Northwestern University, the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and Alberta Children’s Hospital.
Beyond organizational training, Faye has also shared her research and expertise as both a TEDx speaker and Talks@Google presenter. She additionally serves on MIT’s Global Humanities Initiative in partnership with the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA), contributing to interdisciplinary conversations that connect neuroscience, leadership, and human development.
Central to Faye’s teaching is the idea that effective leadership and communication are closely tied to understanding how the nervous system functions.
Faye says, “Don’t seek calm, seek range. A nervous system isn’t designed to hold one steady, static state; it’s designed to move, respond, and adapt to what matters. The goal isn’t to stay calm, but to widen the band of states you can move through and recover from.”
That perspective forms the foundation of the new micro-course collection, which aims to help professionals better understand the science behind mindset, emotional regulation, and human transformation. By translating neuroscience research into accessible education, Faye seeks to equip participants with practical knowledge that supports both personal development and professional effectiveness.
The initial course offerings include Teach the Nervous System and Neuroscience of Mindset & Human Transformation, with additional neuroscience-based micro-courses scheduled to launch throughout the year.
Faye’s work has also received national recognition. She was named one of Grit Daily’s “Visionary Women Changing the World in 2025,” syndicated on Apple News. She holds a graduate degree from New York University, where her research focused on self-directed neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, and empathy.
As neuroscience continues to influence conversations around leadership, coaching, and organizational development, Faye’s latest educational offerings provide professionals with additional opportunities to deepen their understanding of the science behind human behavior while expanding the practical tools they bring to their work.
