Overview

CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE BRAIN PROFILE AT A TIME

The Whole-Brain training course is a powerful journey for those who aspire to become NBI® practitioners. This hands-on course gives you the insight, knowledge, skills, and techniques to apply the NBI® in various settings, from individuals to groups, teams, and classrooms. You will also be qualified to guide adults and children in understanding their thinking preferences. Dr Rache Rutherford explains how this empowerment can change the world in the video below.

The course will provide attendees with a practical understanding of thinking preferences, the brain quadrants, and the 8 dimensions of the brain. As part of learning about NBI®, attendees will be taken through numerous real-world applications of the NBI® in various settings. They will also complete their own NBI® Adult prior to the training and be debriefed on their thinking preferences during the course.

Benefits of Doing This Training

The training includes 5 Free Profiles. Upon completion of the course, participants gain the right to act as practitioners of the NBI® and obtain their own internet dashboards and tools for administering and reporting on profiles. This means you will have the resources and knowledge to make a real difference in the lives of others.

These are some of the environments in which you will be able to apply the Neethling Brain Instruments:

  • Leadership and Businesses – Help businesses and leaders move from strength to strength
  • Career and Education Choices – Help students and career seekers make the right study and career choices
  • Inter-Personal Relationships – Work with families to enhance parenting styles and family cohesion
  • Romantic Relationships – Build up relationships in how well people can relate to each other
  • Career Choices – Choosing the right career for the right person through your guidance

This list, however, is, so to speak, endless. Because the Neethling Brain Instruments focuses on thinking preferences, you have the license as an NBI Practitioner to apply the instruments in any environment where people can benefit from learning about their unique thinking preferences. We stress to all our practitioners that what you learn about people in profiles is always an opportunity to edify them. There is no wrong or right profile. One may observe that, at times, it is better to be very structured and organised and, at other times, versatile and fluid- this is one of many possible ways practitioners can aid people in applying the NBI.

Explanations of Content Covered

MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF RESEARCH

The Neethling Brain Instruments are not just another set of profiling tools. They are a unique collection based on more than 20 years of research, offering an unparalleled perspective on human thinking. The subjects you will cover in this course will all centre around the four-quadrant and 8-dimensional models. They are summarised as L1, L2, R1, and R2. Please see the image below for a brief overview of these quadrants.

This course is not just about learning a new concept; it’s about transforming how you understand human thinking. The 8-brain model, pioneered by Dr. Kobus Neethling, provides a profound insight into an individual’s thinking preferences across various settings. It can help you understand the seemingly small differences between children who otherwise seem so different, or why a group of engineers does not agree on how to implement their designs.

The L1 Quadrant
This quadrant covers the two dimensions of Analyst and Realist. Please see the image above for a brief synopsis of the overall quadrant.

The L2 Quadrant
Inclusive of the Organiser and Preserver dimensions, this quadrant is characterised by the propensity for structure and traditional approaches.

The R2 Quadrant
This quadrant includes the dimensions of Socialiser and Empathiser.

The R1 Quadrant
Imagineer and Strategist are the dimensions of this quadrant.

To give you an idea about why it is necessary to delve as deep as eight dimensions, let’s look into why Dr Neethling did his research. When working with four quadrants, he saw a marked difference in many people who were strong in the R2 quadrant. It is the differences between people who are strong in this quadrant that cued him to push further. Essentially, he noticed that while all people with a strong preference for R2 thinking like being with people, some prefer bigger groups and others want a connection between only a few people. Hence, he saw the need to differentiate between the socialiser and the empathiser. Your course instructors will walk you through these findings.
