What you Get
SCIENCE BASED INSIGHTS INTO YOUR BUSINESS NEED
We first look into the neural dynamics behind effective leadership and collaborative teamwork, then decipher the cognitive processes driving innovation, decision-making, managing change, strategy forming, and fostering resilience. By bridging neuroscience with strategy, we work with you to optimize organizational structures, cultures and productivity.
ACTION PLANS DESIGNED and OWNED BY YOUR TEAMs
Decoding neural dynamics behind effective leadership, teamwork, empathy and emotional intelligence aids in creating visionary strategies grounded in neurological principles. Insights into stress management and adaptability empower teams to build resilient plans for dynamic markets. This fusion of neuroscience and strategy enables precise, forward- thinking plans aligned with organizational goals and human-centric values, independent of external assistance.
PRODUCTIVITY, AHEAD OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE
Insights into cognitive functions like decision-making and creativity help streamline processes and foster innovation. Moreover, the INSIGHTS emphasize empathy in leadership, promoting stronger team cohesion and motivation. Heightened levels of engagement and clearer pathways accelerate overall productivity, leading to sustained success in competitive markets.
How we Do it
- UNEARTH
- CONVERT
- HARVEST
Unearth your current strengths and immerse into your needs: Beyond your typical surveys and psychometric assessments, ISLA sparks of live dialogues and open-hearted conversations and uses many facilitative processes like Open Space Technology, Deep Democracy and Appreciative Inquiry to not just explore but to awaken new ones.
Convert time-tested solutions and frameworks into mega-games: Using the elements and the ingredients gathered from uncovered strengths, refined visions + values and actions expressed by your people small and large games are designed. These games may compliment and align with your industry or be a creative contrast to your business such that twist makes the learning exciting and memorable.
Harvest insights and plans such that you own them: We address ourselves as facilitators of learning rather teachers, trainers or consultants. In every thought, words or actions our job at ISLA is that of to make your people think. We make our learners more than we show them. We show them more, if we do at all, than we tell. That is our undying motto.

Jonette Valenciano
Coach
Jonette Valenciano is grateful to have leapt both feet first into the freelance artist and relationship coach life. This has taken her down many currents, and many roles - as an art teacher, comic book writer and illustrator, junior event organizer, social media manager, advertising copywriter, and more. Stories and story-making empower this published author and exhibited artist, whether by having served as a member of Komiket, mentoring younger independent creatives, or crafting and collaborating on stories for comic books, tabletop roleplaying games, and other forms of prose. At present, she spends most mornings as a relationship coach under RelationshipHero.com, and as an intuitive counselor with Empathy Unlimited. She continues to map out stories rooted in social issues, emotional health, compassion, kindness, and other forms of magic.
