ORLANDO, FL, USA at the ICF Converge 2023 Conference
KYIV, UKRAINE
August 24, 2023
Leading Indicator Systems (d/b/a AgileBrain), a Boston-based emotional measurement technology startup, announced its AgileBrain for Ukraine (AB4U) program, in cooperation with the Ukraine Chapter of the International Coaching Federation (“ICF Ukraine”). “We are honored to be working with the Ukrainian coaching community to help the people of Ukraine,” said John Penrose, CEO at AgileBrain. Now, over 400 Ukrainian coaches will have access to AgileBrain’s innovative technology to expand their coaching in the area of emotional intelligence and regulation and help their clients build emotional resilience and wellbeing. “AgileBrain is an important new tool to empower our member coaches’ personal and professional growth for the benefit of their clients and their own coaching practices,” said Alina Sviatnenko, President of ICF Ukraine.
AgileBrain is a breakthrough emotional measurement technology that helps people identify their unmet emotional needs and, working with a coach, implement positive change in their lives, work and relationships. The technology uses rapid exposure to images in order to measure unmet emotional needs. Used by coaches, AgileBrain helps them engage their clients in powerful discussion and accelerate the time to insight and positive change. Developments in neuroscience and behavioral psychology have clearly demonstrated the important, even dominant, role of emotions in human behaviors. AgileBrain has developed an integrated framework for human emotions and a neuroscience-based technology for measuring those emotions. “People can be highly activated emotionally but, until now, lacked the means to accurately measure those emotions and the vocabulary to talk about them effectively,” explained Penrose. “This is particularly important in a place like Ukraine where unmet emotion needs are high at this time. The simple explanation might be to attribute those needs to a desire for more feelings of safety, but emotional needs are often much more complex, like the feelings associated with authenticity and caring when people are forced to abandon the roles that defined them and suddenly find themselves refugees,” Penrose added, “AgileBrain pinpoints those needs and provides a framework for processing them.”
Ukrainian will be the second language (after English) available on the AgileBrain platform, and other regional languages will be added thereafter, reflecting the regional impact of the current situation. The cooperation will provide Ukrainian coaches training on the neuroscience of emotions, free access to the AgileBrain platform and preferential rates on AgileBrain subscriptions in the future. “I’ve seen the power of AgileBrain in my coaching work,” said Oleg Lavrynovych, a Coach Training Alliance Certified Coach, ICF Ukraine member and the AgileBrain for Ukraine coordinator, “it is remarkable how quickly and accurately AgileBrain surfaces my clients’ true emotional needs.”
