Look Who's Using Brain Gym®
"Recently Jill Hewlett of Brain Works Global was hired for our annual Ontario Camps Association conference. Jill was our Keynote Speaker and Session Leader for approximately 250 participants. Our theme was to grow into tomorrow; we wanted to offer the Camp Directors, many of them entrepreneurs, some ideas for leading healthier lifestyles and get some new programming and training ideas for their staff. Jill was very inspiring and positive and her energy is so infectious and engaging! All of the information she delivered I can use personally and I can transfer into my professional life. As well, I can use it with the kids! There was so much to learn and I feel like my energy has gone way up!"
Barb Weeden, Co-Chair, Ontario Camps Association
"We hired Brain Works Global to provide cognitive fitness training for our annual planning meeting. Jill Hewlett, the Trainer, was able to get the entire room excited and involved in the process of using Cognitive Fitness movements to manage stress for everyday life. Reminding us that everyone has stress, it is part of life, and that you can deal with stress effectively by being aware of it, and then implementing tools to help your body deal with it successfully. Since the training, the team, will collectively recommend specific movements prior to a certain stressful situation the staff must engage in. The training further bonded our group together, we are using the tools as a way to help, support and motivate each other." More...

"We recently hired Brain Works Global Inc. to speak at our annual conference for Long Term Care professionals. Jill Hewlett, the Director of Training and Development, offered up a comprehensive performance, and provided all in attendance with an excellent, informative presentation. We were particularly pleased with the manner in which she was able to engage the audience and get everyone moving!
As Cognitive Fitness experts, Brain Works Global provided a wealth of information and tools that can be applied immediately to seniors care in a wide array of scenarios. Aimed at improving the cognitive ability and quality of life of the residents, this is a much needed service!
Our attendees were very pleased with their presentation, as were we. Brain Works Global is professional, thorough, and greatly enhanced the conference as a whole.
We would openly recommend Jill Hewlett of Brain Works Global to speak at any event. Their knowledge could serve many on a personal and business level, in any capacity, in a wide array of industries, trades and professions."

"Brain Fitness fits in nicely with the objectives of our Corporate Healthy Workplace strategy. The Lunch and Learn provided participants with stress coping mechanisms and physical activity allowing them to clear their minds and re-focus. Staff were fully engaged and motivated to learn more, and to incorporate this into their daily routine and share with colleagues, family and friends. Thanks again for the presentation."

“Jill Hewlett of Brain Works Global Inc, provided an innovative, fun and educational Cognitive Fitness experience for our Kickoff conference of 1000 plus sales delegates. The Brain Tune-ups received great interest and participation from the attendees. What a fantastic way to keep our delegates energized, focused and engaged in the daylong conference.

"I loved the Cognitive Fitness Breaks provided by Brain Works Global at the recent Business Development Conference. With a day full of wonderful speakers and taking in the multitude of messages while sitting for long periods - I found the breaks gave me a renewed energy level and I felt ready to keep my attention focused on the conference for the next section. Thanks so much Jill!"

“Great job today! You rocked the house in a profound way. I heard people refer to 'rub their ears', waving their arms, etc. Even speaking about it, their energy shifted. You gave a terrific gift to these entrepreneurs. Another tool for the tool box of optimum functioning.”

“Professionally, I have a lot of presentations to give, I am doing my Masters in Health Care Professionals Teachers Education and. I always do PACE (a series of Brain Gym movements) as well as other Brain Gym movements with my audience and explain the “why”. My classmates are all experienced health care professionals; many are internationally trained physicians from all over the world. At first I think they thought I was a bit nuts, but now that they have experienced the benefits of Brain Gym for themselves, they seem to "get it". More...

"Brain Gym is the first class I ran back from the washroom for, so I wouldn’t miss a thing! This staff reboot wellness training was a perfect way to engage our Bodies and Mind’s, and it supported all of our unique learning styles. After 3 full days of intensive meetings, we completed with Brain Works Global’s half day Cognitive Fitness training. Everyone was refreshed, balanced and energized by the end of the seminar!"
Angie Roberston, Assisitive Technology Software Specialist, VocaLinks Inc., www.vocalinks.com
“I wanted to follow up with you to let you know how wonderful I found your Brain Gym® seminar/workshop. Our staff was coming off a hardy three days of seminars and social activities and I am sure a lot of us were feeling burnt out. I entered your seminar not knowing what to expect and was feeling very washed out until you had us start doing some exercises and drinking water. Gradually I felt my body and mind come alive. I would say I entered the room at -50% and felt 100% upon completion. Thank you and your partner Sharon for the wonderful ideas and exercises.”
Sean Smith, IT Systems, VocaLinks Inc., www.vocalinks.com
"We brought Brain Gym® training in to provide our management team with support and self care tools. It has been an incredibly stressful year for our management team and it will continue to be a stressful year. The group left the training feeling energized rather than the drained feeling they have for the last little while. I think there will be lots of opportunity in the coming months to use Brain Gym® as a tool to help keep the group focused, positive and energized and we really appreciate that so thank you!"
Susan Makin, Director, Healthy Families ,Child Health Directorate, Toronto Public Health
“Since taking the Brain Gym® 101 course, I have been using Brain Gym® both personally and professionally in day to day life. I work with staff and children in need of extra support throughout our multiple centres. Our programs are based on our educational philosophy and focus on the total development of the child (emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth) through play and "hands on learning". We have been implementing Brain Gym® into most of our child care programs. By the end of 2010 all of our teachers, managers will be trained on the Brain Gym® program. We use PACE (a sequence of Brain Gym® movements) in our programs and we incorporate The Elephant, Lazy 8’s, and Cross Crawl movements. We have noticed a positive change in the children’s attitude.
When Brain Buttons and PACE have been included in the program, either before circle time or when the children have high energy, there has been a positive change in their behaviour. Most of the children are able to settle a little faster or if they have low energy and we are having difficulty motivating them, the Brain Gym® moves help them to become engaged again!!
Personally, I have been incorporating Brain Gym® into my day. What I have noticed is that my stress has been less and my attitude toward my work day has been more positive. I have found the Brain Gym®101 course to be amazing!!! It really opened my mind on how little time I spend on myself and it allows me to take that time and recharge. The Instructor, Jill Hewlett is a very effective trainer.”
Sharon Labadie, Resource Specialist For Exceptional Children, Centre for Early Learning
"I use Brain Gym® at night before I go to bed as a transitioning tool to help me relax from my day and go to sleep. I have a very stressful job and Brain Gym® helps me de-stress. By using Brain Gym® my stress levels have been reduced. I am more relaxed and have a tool now to help me calm down at night when I have too much on my mind to sleep. I now sleep through the night and do not lay awake worrying about work.
The part of the training I liked the best was the learning how to do the balance processes, specifically the "Reading" Balance process. The noticing and clarity of the results were obvious at the end of the process. I would not change anything about this workshop, it was just the right amount of time, we were not rushed and a very good pace each day.
Brain Gym® training most definitely met the goals of our organization!! When surveying participant feedback, consensus was, they loved the workshop and they all wanted to know when Community Living Parry Sound were bringing back the Trainers for a third day. The Brain Gym® applications were very practical. I would definitely use Brain Works Global Inc. training services again!"

"Jill's uncanny ability to see right to the heart of the matter, along with her genuine interest in service people, is second to non. Through my work with Jill in a corporate group setting and on an individual level, I have developed an inner strength and an ability to embrace aspects of myself that has helped me both professionally and personally. Jill will touch the mind, heart and should of any organization that wants to live to its fullest potential."
Linda Martin, National Sales Manager, Ralph Lauren Footwear
"Jill is one of the most credible, passionate and entertaining speakers I have ever heard. Her rapport with the audience is nothing short of hypnotic. Her sincere enthusiasm for her topic is reflected in the powerful content of her speech and through the smiles in the audience. This is a woman who truly 'walks her talk' and it shows!"
Derrick Sweet, Author of "Get the Most out of Life" and "Healthy, Wealthy and Wise"
"Jill Hewlett is a dynamic and interactive trainer who worked with our organization on team building, communication, creativity and stress management. The Brain Gym exercises were excellent, practical and easy to use in working on the goals of our group. We have been using them daily at work since our session. We even incorporated a message about Brain Gym in our staff newsletter! The training allows for the recognition of stress, and how to take a few moments to regroup and reduce the stress. It impacts interactions at work and allows for better coping with stressful situations. For those interested in this training - go for it! The training is informative, practical and applicable in so many situations."
