some examples of brain magic I conjured with smart people

the nutshell

TED-WORTHY BUSINESS PRESENTATION

M, a VP in strategy for a Fortune 500, had an upcoming presentation for an audience of 700 (VP-level and up) people. He wanted to make sure his narrative had a strategic flow that would immediately ENGAGE and prove to the audience they could actually achieve a change they’d been resisting.

M absolutely slayed (but I always knew he would.)

the nitty gritty

  • We talked through what M most wanted to convey, the desired effect of his talk on the audience, and the challenges he was facing (audience resistance + feeling nervous in front of so many people!). M walked away with CLEAR IDEAS on his CORE MESSAGE and set out to make his outline.

  • We reviewed M’s outline together and dug into areas we could “punch up” and polish.

  • M took the stage and blew the audience away with his humor, great storytelling and presence. “Thank you!! You helped me feel like MYSELF. The audience loved the story about the electric shock ;)”

ACE YOUR NEXT INTERVIEW

J was a neuroscientist who aspired to make the leap from academia to a UX position at a global tech company. He wanted to get clear on how to tell the story of his value–and feel more confident during the interview process. And by the end? Check, check and check.

the nitty gritty

  • We defined a “Fuck yes” aspiration for J that would define the way he most wanted to feel and come across during the interview. Using that lens, J dug into his career history and collected the most standout examples he wanted to share. 

  • We reviewed J’s bullet points and case study examples and talked through how to construct them as a strategic narrative that showcased his brilliance in a way that didn’t feel braggy or verbose.

  • After a final practice run together, J felt his clarity and confidence soar. He nailed the interview and is happily working at his dream job.

LOVE YOUR WORK AGAIN

JN was an extremely successful coach who was BURNED OUT and ready to burn it all down. He wanted to figure out what he could offer that would fuel his curiosity, creativity and, you know, bank account. The catalyst for JN surprised us both–and resulted in him feeling more connected to his work (and life) than ever before.


the nitty gritty


We worked together over 6 sessions to 

  1. Get INCREDIBLY clear on what his brain MOST wanted to create 

  2. Develop a strategic plan that made JN’s audacious goals achievable

  3. Create tiny actions and experiments to test and refine

  4. Reveal the biggest obstacles to JN’s success (they weren’t what either of us expected)

  5. Apply reframing tools that JN could turn to for the rest of his life

  6. Leave JN on a brand spanking new career path that he actually REALLY loves

THE ODYSSEY

the nutshell

CREATE YOUR LIFE’S WORK

D worked as a high-level marketing communicator for decades–and yet never considered herself a “real writer.” She was hitting a wall at work and wanted to figure out how to find her flow again, but she also had a “wildly impractical” dream of one day writing young adult fiction. Can we say two birds with this one? Yes. Yes we can.



the nitty gritty


In our 6 sessions, we:

  1. Crafted FUCK YES goals that got her brain revved up and ready to make big changes

  2. Drafted strategic milestones that gave her brain the clarity it needed to follow through

  3. Developed tiny action plans and experiments that kept her going even when her brain resisted HARD

  4. Figured out what was really holding D back from finding her flow and applying her strengths 

  5. Got D producing an ENTIRE draft of her YA fiction (!!)

  6. Figured out a publication route AND left D with a new vision for not just her life’s work, but how her work could fuel her life

THE ODYSSEY

Up to 8 x 1:1 sessions

Outcomes: Zest. Alignment. Die happy.

While I continue making updates to this page,
please enjoy the kind words
of some of my brain coaching clients:

 “Even months after working with you I’m noticing how I’m able to take a beat—to reframe and shift my perspective on triggers that would have totally derailed me before.”

— Beth Knight, Strategy Director

“I’d almost given up. But thanks to Jocelyn Brady, I finished the first draft of my first book. I can’t thank you enough. You’ve changed my life. This is so much fun!”

—Deanna S., VP of Marketing & Official Book Author ;)


“I finished my script and submit it! Had been thinking about it for so long before we started. Plus, I’m getting back to the court almost every day. ‘Play is in the air!’ is my new daily mantra, thank you.”

—Mulu Habtemariam, Creative Producer

“I’m rediscovering my braver self ;)”

—Nicole S., educator & actress

FAQs

  • YES JUST LIKE YOUR BRAIN. Most people choose a 3-month partnership which can stretch into 4-5 to allow for extra thinking and incubation time. Some people are looking for a one-month jump start in idea generation, goal and strategy clarification, or narrative framing (like preparing a talk for an upcoming event to getting your brain on board with feeling GREAT about it). Others will opt for a one-year engagement (or more). Really depends on what you’re after and the level of support you want.

  • Oh you scamp! The annoying answer is: That depends. (See previous question.) Typically though you’re looking at $3-5k for a one-month sprint, $7500 for a 3-month partnership, or over $10k for a longer-term aspiration. That’s for 1:1 executive brain coaching with strategic support (where I offer you the same narrative consultancy that multi-billion-dollar brands rely on). I aint cheap. And I’m really fucking good at what I do. But that comes at a high cost of my own brain power, so I only work with a VERY SMALL number of clients at a time.

  • I did thanks for noticing.

    Behemoth brands come to me to ship-shape strategic narratives they need to present to C-levels or that C-levels need to share with deep-pocket investors. CMOs, VPs, and Directors call on me to clarify an important idea and find a way to convey it with confidence. Learning teams rely on me to develop behavior-change programs that take several months to build and years to effectively roll out.

    I’m much more expensive in big-brand land. And much less available. You’re welcome.

  • I often put on playshops (like workshops but ACTUALLY FUN AND USEFUL) and sometimes longer-term brain-in-wonderland adventures for small groups. And if you’re looking for freebies, there are a few on this site, on YouTube and shit I share on instagram that may or may not involve animals and unusual phenomena.
