One of the most powerful parts of B3 is the Be conscious phase.

We often talk about the mental priming and pull that occurs when asking people to reflect on what is important to them, what they already know and what they don’t know about a topic.  But that’s not all!  As part of some current work with a client, we shared this video that talks about the brain chemistry that is activated.
