Ep 244 Interview Sessions with Nicole Vignola | REWIRE: Your Neurotoolkit for Everyday Life

On episode 244 I welcome Nicole Vignola to the podcast.

Nicole is a neuroscientist, corporate consultant, author and speaker committed to making neuroscience tangible for the masses. Her first book ‘Rewire: The (Neuro)Science of a Good Life’ was pre-empted in the UK by Penguin Michael Joseph; it was also pre-empted in the US by Harper One and has sold over 13 translation deals.

Nicole works with organisations and individuals to teach them how to better understand their unique physiology, providing them with practical tools and science-backed methods to improve their mental health, optimise reflexes and reach peak mental performance, enhancing their daily lives and careers.

With 12 years of coaching experience, Nicole has a BSc in Neuroscience from the University of Bristol and an MSc in Organisational Psychology from the University of the West of England. Her performance coaching methods support individuals, including high-pressured decision-makers, to improve their mental capacity and acuity. Through creating healthy physiological and cognitive habits, Nicole enables individuals to best support their mental health, manage stress and make better decisions.

Nicole offers corporate workshops, one-to-one bespoke coaching and tangible resources to empower individuals to rewire their narratives.
