Testimonials
From a student:
As a student I found the NBI Brain profile to
be exceptionally useful due to its ability to
overview my academic and social preferences. Furthermore,
with an acquired brain preference understanding,
I was able adapt myself to any academic situation
and perform to the best of my ability - I was
able to place myself into a position that was
headed toward success.
NBI profiling not only helps me in my daily academic
life, but also in choosing career options and
preparing myself for my career.
-- Christi N, a student at Simon
Fraser University, Ca.
As a Teacher
During my preparation in becoming a teacher,
a challenge that was placed before us as trainee
teachers was to "unlock" or "open up" the student
in order for them to discover their potential.
In the course of time of teaching I found that
this noble intention so easily gets lost during
the pressures of the day and the ordinary routine
of daily teaching. This aspiration of education
gets moved into obscurity for many reasons. Paramount
amongst those reasons is the fact that we don't
get the opportunity to really know how our students
think. Their preferences are generally being ignored
as we engross ourselves in objectives and desired
outcomes of our lessons and curriculum demands.
When I discovered whole brain thinking and especially
how easy it is to "diagnose" where the students
are at, it opened up a major doorway to unlocking
the potential of the student. It has challenged
me to change my teaching style and methodology
to meet the individual needs of my students. I
now also understand my students so much better.
This discovery has led to a more open ended approach
catering for different ways to accomplish desired
outcomes. My students understand better and are
generally more fulfilled in the class.

In the workplace.
I just wanted to tell you that it would be one
year as of March 15th that I started my job. Who
knew that I'd make it this far, considering that
I wanted to quit within the first three months?
I felt so devastated when month after month,
people at work were ignoring me and not returning
my smile. What did I ever do to them? I felt so
miserable. I was so different... The problem had
to be me. My self-esteem was taking a beating
and I was at a loss. I went for counselling.
Anna suggested that we find out why I feel like
such a square peg in a round hole. I set out on
a route of self-discovery and did the NBI Brain
Profile. The results showed me that I operate
entirely on the artistic side of my brain. I was
always working in environments where creativity
is not looked upon as an attribute, where patterns
are the norm, and where certain personalities
are not prone to accepting people who differ from
them. In the past I tried everything to get people
to like me, I was a smiling machine, but it did
no good. Finally, I decided that if God wanted
me at my work, I was just going to be myself.
It took a good six months before anyone started
coming around, and even then, in a business place
of over 100 people, only four decided they'd get
to know me. It's been close to a year now, and
I can say there are probably eight people that
have come around. And, there are a few others
who can tolerate me. The original four think I'm
a hoot because of my quick comebacks - I have
them rolling on the floor sometimes. The other
four think I'm okay because they're friends with
the first four, and so on...
So, it's easy now, right? It's still not easy,
I don't always get my breaks, but I don't cry
everyday now. However, I can see the big picture
now, as I couldn't before. If I had quit, I would
have taken a position where shift work is the
norm. If I'd done that, I wouldn't have been able
to take a semester of Biology classes in order
to qualify for the nurse's entrance assessment
(which I wasn't aware of in the first three months
of work). And, if I ran (which I was more than
willing to do), I would've gone into training
for something that I think is very worthwhile,
but for some reason I believe that God wants me
on the path of study that I'm pursuing. None of
these things would've come about if I hadn't "persevered."
I don't know why God put me through such a trial,
but I made it with His help, not my own steam,
believe me. There's a Blessing at the end of the
fire walk, but when you're in it, it seems that
nothing's going to let up. I've learned a very
important lesson, and that is not to judge anyone
and to be myself.. I now know there's nothing
wrong with me. - Doing the NBI Brain Profile also
helped me to understand that.

At the time I did NBI profiling I had just completed
a course where I had done a number of other similar
type tests such as Meyers Briggs, Copes, Strongs
etc. I found the NBI to be more accurate and gave
me insight into areas the others did not. Now
I find it very helpful in recognizing areas of
stress and extremely good in knowing how to communicate
with co-workers and clients.

I found Anna’s coaching methods very effective.
At the time I came to speak with her, I was feeling
a little overwhelmed with everything that was
going on in my life. I had a thriving business,
which had grown exponentially over the previous
year, and I was having tremendous difficulty maintaining
a balance between life and work.
Sitting with Anna for just that hour helped me
to put many things into proper perspective. She
identified a few key ideas in my life that were
causing the difficulties and gave me very useful
and immediately implementable strategies to deal
with them.

From the desk of a training executive…
Professionally, I've used the NBI training to
become more effective in my daily work as an IT
instructor/presenter, able to quickly adapt my
presentations to better meet the needs of all
types of learners. The training also helped me
identify tasks in running a business that I needed
to outsource to others so I can focus the majority
of my time on things that I can do best and enjoy
the most.
Personally, taking the NBI profile has helped
me to determine to focus my time and future plans
on areas and activities that I am passionate about.
Also I'm learning to appreciate more the uniqueness
and giftings in each person I meet.

Empatie vir my medemens
Die blote feit dat ek 'n brein het wat in alle
omstandighede en situasies kreatief kan funksioneer,
is op sigself 'n bonus. Die begeerte om my brein
voorkeure te strek en verder te ontwikkel was
'n groot leemte in my lewe. Deur die NBI heelbrein
voorkeur profiel te doen, het dit daardie behoefte
vervul.
Ek het nou ook 'n baie beter begrip van die omvang,
impak en dinamika van ander lewenssituasies. My
menseverhoudinge het verander, en die empatie
om te deel met die verskille wat daar tussen ons
mense se breinvoorkeure bestaan, het gegroei.
- Ek is baie dankbaar vir die NBI breinvoorkeur
assessering. Baie dankie.
