MAKE YOUR BRAIN YOUR PARTNER, NOT YOUR ENEMY
Join our workshop and take charge of your mind! Learn how to steer your thoughts instead of letting them control you. You'll discover your brain's strengths, understand its limits, and create personalized strategies to work well with others—even when things get stressful.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to boost productivity, manage emotions, and make confident decisions. We’d love to have you with us!

This workshop brings scientific knowledge into practical life, approaching the brain as a system that requires resources, has limitations and advantages, sometimes breaks, and is sometimes hard to manage. Think of it as getting a driver’s license for your brain. Only crucial knowledge for everyday life, no abstract things. Analogies to better understand complex aspects. Practical exercises to see the theory in action. Three hours of self-discovery in a small group.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Map Your Cognitive PatternsUse guided questions and exercises to pinpoint situations that overwhelm your brain. Create a visual representation of how your brain processes information under different conditions.
- Design a Personal Resilience PlanYou’ll leave with a clear understanding of what helps and hinders your performance. Gain practical, repeatable methods you can use in stressful moments at work or home.
- Led by an Expert System ThinkerWork with a facilitator who specializes in system analysis and see a brain as a whole. Learn to connect the dots between your brain’s patterns and practical strategies for improvement.
- Grounded in scienceEvery method and strategy you’ll explore is rooted in proven research from neuroscience and psychology.
BRAIN MAP
Brain is a unique system waiting to be understood and harnessed. We’ll craft a personalized brain map to uncover which brain functions could be your "first responders" and save you in the acute stress, when other functions turns off. You’ll also identify which functions falter first and develop strategies to stay prepared and in control.
We'll discuss what changes we can make in the life to save brain resources and rely more on the brain strength, avoiding overload weaker areas.
REAL-LIFE SCENARIOS
Here are some specific examples of how the workshop results could be applid to everyday life
Managing Stress at Work
Imagine being able to recognize when your brain is overloaded during a work deadline. With the strategies from this workshop, you could shift focus to your brain's strengths, manage stress more effectively, and stay productive without burnout.
Improved Decision-Making
You’re faced with a difficult choice, like deciding between career opportunities. By understanding your brain's tendencies under stress, you’ll know how to pause, reframe the situation, and choose with clarity and confidence.
Better Emotional Regulation
After an argument with a loved one, instead of letting emotions spiral, you could use your brain's natural resilience to regain balance and communicate constructively.

Author & Speaker
I’m Kate—a system thinker, AuDHD individual, and creator of a framework that helps people understand their brains as systems designed for living, not failure.
For years, I struggled to understand myself. Doctors said I was healthy, yet I couldn’t function like those around me. So, I took a different path. With a Master’s in Computer Science, I began studying the brain as a system, not from biology but as a network of functions we rely on every day—attention, memory, emotional regulation, and more.
Now, I share this knowledge through workshops that are more than learning—they’re experiences. My sessions use interactive group exercises to help you not only understand how your brain works but discover practical strategies you can implement immediately.
The workshop doesn’t provide medical advice. But it’s grounded in science. I ensure everything I share is supported by published scientific research and verified findings.

EXAMPLE OF APPLYING THE APPROACH
Imagine a person with strong visual and spatial processing abilities, combined with excellent executive functions. Simply put, this person can notice intricate details in visual information, mentally construct "maps" of terrain or objects, and has strong focus and determination. However, they struggle significantly with language-related tasks and motor coordination.
Professions that heavily rely on public speaking or writing, like journalism or hosting TV shows, might not suit them. Similarly, careers demanding precise physical coordination, such as figure skating, are likely unsuitable.
On the other hand, they could excel in roles like architecture or air traffic control, where visual-spatial skills, planning, and decision-making are critical.

But what if this person is already in a profession that requires a lot of speaking?
In such a case, compensatory mechanisms can help reduce the cognitive load on the brain. For instance, this person might:
— Take small breaks regularly, perhaps by having a second person take over for a few minutes when possible.
— Use templated phrases or scripts to streamline speaking tasks and minimize mental effort.
— Delegate some speaking responsibilities, if possible.
— Gradually train this brain area by increasing speaking tasks over time, starting small and progressively adding more. Regular practice can help build endurance and efficiency.
Another example: if the person has problems with attention—sometimes unable to start any task and getting easily distracted, but other times entering hyperfocus, becoming so absorbed in one task that they forget to eat or take care of themselves—knowing this aspect of their brain can lead to effective strategies:
— Take small sensory breaks during hyperfocus episodes. Activities like using cold water, applying pressure, experiencing controlled physical sensations, or engaging with distinct smells or sounds can activate other brain areas responsible for physical sensations, which may help reduce overactivation of the attention area.
— Create a structured environment with visual or auditory cues to help initiate tasks when motivation is low.
— Develop a routine of alternating between highly engaging tasks and less stimulating ones to balance brain activity and prevent burnout.
