Hi, I'm Shonté Taylor

NEUROSCIENTIST. SPEAKER. THOUGHT LEADER. SUCCESS TRAINER. FUTURIST.

As a UCLA trained Neuroscientist with over 15 years of graduate level brain research and industrial and organizational training, I specialize in training coaches & leaders to use neuroscience in their work. Based on my years of clinical and real-world professional coaching practices, I created the OptiMind Institute so you can leverage the advance knowledge of the brain.

The research on neuroscience is exploding and reveals that we can do so much more with our mental abilities than we ever imagined. Current brain research goes beyond dementia and brain injuries. We now understand that the brain can be enhanced to fuel our beautiful emotions, decision-making, creativity and ability to be laser-focused to thrive in modern times.

But here's the problem...the research is coming out FASTER than scientists can give to the public in an applicable way. These neuroscience BREAKTHROUGHS are buried in obscure scientific journals that 99% of everyday people will never read (or know exists).

Luckily for you, my team of neuroscientists and I have combed through the research and have distilled and simplified what you need to know to apply power packed strategies into your everyday life and give your clients and teams the scientific power to reach their human potential.

You can become a certified NeuroCoach and NeuroLeader and optimize emotional intelligence, brain health, productivity, memory, relationships and so much more in
only 8-weeks!

What Students Say About OPTIMIND
"As an OptiMind student, I was able to take the leap to host my first workshop and used the neuroscience route to explain some things about stress, habits, and other things related to daily life. Yay! One of the favorite things from the ladies that attended the workshop was me explaining how the brain works in some of our daily lives and goals etc...
I had a survey sheet and the brain talk was a winner. My ICA's are smart! Ha!"

Meredith Kerekes
MBA Executive Coach
"With what we know about the brain and neuroscience changing at a breathtaking pace, neuroscience is receiving increased attention within the worksite wellness and behavior change literature and communities. Recognizing this, I knew I needed to up my knowledge and skills related to neuroscience. I particularly liked that the program was a certification program and not just another course or training to attend. The program has certainly met my expectations. "

William McPeck
Wellness Program Trainer
"After taking the course I was able to explain to my clients why my coaching methods work at a deeper brain and psychological level. Clients appreciate knowing the "why" as creates success brain habits and overall wellbeing. As a result, I've gained MORE clients. I also gained more respect amongst my peers. No longer do nurses and doctors speak over my head. Nurses now come to me for coaching and neuroscience explanations."

Herbert Gooden
NeuroCoach For Burnt Out Medical Professionals
"The OptiMind Neuroscience program has been helpful in breaking down terms and concepts (w/great illustrations) that I have already begun to use in helping clients better understand how their brain works with regard to coping and mental health. I thought when I was a child, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, but the fear of knowing the parts of brain so deeply and its mechanisms and chemical names for medication scared me away and consequently I chose to be a psychologist. Now, I'm fascinated by the brain and how it works. Who knew! I love the articles, the bonus calls, and the creative way in which they teach this information that makes it easy to digest."
