About us

We write all our own online courses – and star in them!

  • We’re a leadership academy delivering online video courses for managers and leaders.
  • We’re not a hub, like Udemy or Coursera, which hosts others’ ad-hoc courses – all of our online training courses are written by us, Unchain Your Brain’s trainers.
  • We’re highly experienced and highly qualified trainers and coaches. We’ve all worked in multinationals and bring real-life case studies from our own coaching, training and workshops – and careers before becoming full-time coaches and trainers.
  • By writing and delivering all the workshops in-house, this ensures we provide you with consistent, high-quality course material – and material we know is relevant because it’s drawn from issues our clients tell us they need help with, time and time again.

Our courses draw on case studies & experience from working with over 40 global organisations

Unchain your Brain is the brain-child of parent-company, Lequin Leadership Development, an international training, coaching and business psychology company.

These courses are born out of the experiences of working with leaders and managers, in businesses and organisations around the world, that need their people to develop practical skills and, very often, change the way their people think. We know the issues leaders and managers face and these courses have been designed to address them, and targeted at this level – we don’t talk down to people.

The case studies, and many of the ideas we share with you in our online workshops, are drawn from our experiences working at Lequin, which counts among its clients:

Tutor support to provide one to one learning

With all of our paid-for online training courses, a tutor is available to answer your questions and provide support.

Our online courses are filmed & edited by a professional production company

All our online training videos are filmed and produced by a professional film-production company Suited & Booted based here in Bath. This means you get to see gorgeous graphics and near-perfect sound – ensuring no distractions and the smoothest of online learning experiences. There’s no home-made, self-shot videos here!

Our online courses combine case studies, psychology, psychotherapy, leadership theory & neuroscience

Unchain Your Brain is aimed at leaders and managers in the workplace. We combine the best-practice development techniques, with psychology, various forms of therapy – such as cognitive therapy, person-centred therapy, and existential therapy – with cutting-edge leadership theory, the latest research in the field of personal self development and training, as well as research findings in the field of neuroscience.

The courses are practical and pragmatic. We want things to change for you, so throughout the courses we ask you to apply what you’ve learnt back both in and out of the workplace.

How to get most out of the online courses

Be curious! Be curious about how things could be better, about new ideas, be curious about yourself and why you are the way you are. So when you listen to any of our online courses, listen with positive intent and with the curiosity of a child, because this openness will help you change the way you might think, feel and behave.

We all see these great talks on TED, and we think yeah, wow, cool idea. Then we go back to our jobs and our lives and nothing changes. So our online courses have loads of questions for self-reflection and to help you future pace how you will change. That’s why we like to call them online workshops — rather than online courses.

These online courses can change your life — or not — it all depends on you and what you do with them.

We’ve made it easy for you, we’ve got a ton of brilliant ideas and coaching questions but if you don’t do the work and take the action and commit to being different no matter how great the online course was nothing will change for you.

And if you have any questions, you can email the tutor who will be on hand to provide support.
