Episode 160 The 3 Brains Advantage Getting Your Head, Heart, Gut to Sign the Same Contract

Описание: In this episode of the Throttle Up Leadership Podcast, Dr. John Dentico speaks with Christoffel Sneijders, a master of psychological coaching, clinical therapist, and pioneer of the 3 Brains Intelligence. Christoffel shares his journey from working in a supermarket and playing football to becoming a leading expert in human behavior and organizational transformation. He discusses how leadership is not just a title but a responsibility to understand the biological and psychological drivers behind human actions. By focusing on the "Three Brains"—the Head, Heart, and Gut—Christoffel explains how leaders can move past the logic of the "Head" brain to connect with the deeper, more intuitive systems that truly drive decision-making and authenticity.

The conversation explores the modern challenges of leadership, including the "digital noise" of the current era and the emergence of an entrepreneurial age powered by AI. Christoffel provides a fascinating perspective on why many professionals feel stuck or "run over" by technology, noting that without aligning our three internal brains, we struggle to make meaningful impact. He highlights how his methods help individuals and organizations overcome procrastination, develop genuine trust, and lead with a balance of strategy and empathy. The episode wraps up with Christoffel offering practical advice for listeners to stop over-thinking and start leading from a place of integrated intelligence.
