Definition:

Neuro-agility is a conceptual framework of study and practice that looks at optimizing the brain-mind elements that increase the ease, speed and flexibility with which people think, learn and process information.

A literal translation of Neuro-Agility:

  • Neuro = nerves, brain, and nervous system.
  • Agility = fast, easy and flexible.
  • Neuro-Agility = thinking, learning, and processing information with ease, speed, and flexibility.
  • Neuro-Agility = a fast, flexible, and focused mind.
  • Neuro-Agility = all brain regions functioning at optimum level simultaneously.
  • Neuro-Agility = the starting point to improve brain fitness and mental flexibility.

What Neuro-Agility looks like:

Neuro-design (brain-mind) flexibility between all brain regions:
  • Creative and analytical thinking simultaneously.
  • Verbal and non-verbal communication simultaneously.
  • Gestalt (visual) and language functioning simultaneously.
  • Expressive and receptive functioning simultaneously.
  • Rational and emotional processing simultaneously.
  • Simultaneous visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic sensory processing.
  • Optimal information processing through all the physical senses of the brain.
  • Multiple intelligence perspectives.
  • Having strong mental faculties does not mean that one is cognitively flexible or brain fit.
Mental flexibility:
  • Maintaining multiple ideas and understandings simultaneously.
  • Moving between various metaphoric modes of thinking and learning easily.
  • Easily drawing connections between past, current, and future experiences.
  • Quickly recognizing patterns and seeing connections between experiences.
  • Drops inappropriate knowledge learned as you move across experiences.
  • Learn, unlearn, relearn, and multiskill fast and easy.
  • Commit fewer errors, mistakes, and accidents.
  • Change agile and fit.
  • Agile and flexible mindsets.
