Boosting Brainpower: John Kennedy's Cognitive Skills Program
It's even faster and we're not thinking about it. So if you're making correct decisions consciously, you're going to now make them unconsciously, and so that relieves the stress as well of trying to use all that conscious thought.
Imagine a world where your brain works more efficiently, even under stress. In this episode of 'The Thought Hackers', hosts Hamish Bayston and Nathan Segal sit down with John Kennedy, the mastermind behind the PACE™ (Progressively Accelerated Cognitive Exertion™) program. Originally designed for the US Marines to reduce combat casualties, Kennedy's program has since shown remarkable results for people dealing with brain trauma, PTSD, concussions, and everyday stressors.
John shares how his innovative approach blends the latest in neuroplasticity research with practical project management techniques. By breaking down complex thinking processes into simple symbols and patterns, PACE™ helps trainees enhance their cognitive skills and create a mental buffer between stimulus and response. This isn't just for soldiers; athletes, business professionals, students, and trauma survivors have all benefited from this method. Kennedy's own experience with trauma adds a deeply personal touch to his work.
He explains how PACE™ has not only helped others but also played a crucial role in his own recovery. Whether you're battling PTSD, depression, anxiety, or just looking to sharpen your mental acuity, this episode offers practical insights and tools that can make a real difference. So, if you're curious about how to make your brain work smarter and not harder, tune in to hear John Kennedy's compelling story and learn about the transformative power of cognitive skills enhancement.
