The Personal Resilience Indicator (PRI) is the most comprehensive, independently validated resilience assessment available to date. 
Not only does it integrate the latest insights from neuroscience and psychology, it is the only resilience assessment that does not only measure the status quo but also provides the granularity that allows practitioners to build targeted transformative coaching journeys.
The PRI takes the form of an online self-assessment with 64 questions that takes approximately 10-15 min to complete. It provides actionable insights across 12 subdomains, each representing a distinct construct that can be improved by targeted practice and coaching. 
Developed with expert guidance from experienced neuroscientists, psychologists, executive coaches and mental health professionals, the PRI also passed independent validation by a renown psychometric expert.

► Are you interested in getting certified to use the PRI with your clients?
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The PRI certification program comprises both self-learning content and interactive sessions designed to help you understand, work with and effectively debrief the Personal Resilience Indicator. Depending on your pace, certification takes between 2-6 weeks to complete. 

During the certification program, you will work directly with the creators of the PRI to
○ learn the neuro-psychobiological foundations of the PRI
○ understand the psychometric properties of the PRI 
○ learn how to engage your clients on the topic of resilience with a holistic, playful metaphor
○ gain first-hand experience in debriefing the PRI with clients

Prior practical experience as a trained coach, therapist or mental health professional of at least one year or 100+ billed hours of coaching is a prerequisite for attending certification.

Associate | Management Consultant

Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry

Researching the spliceosome in the group of Prof. Dr. Reinhard Lührmann. The spliceosome is a complex molecular machine involved in determining which proteins are made by our cells. It trims and joins the RNA copy of a gene, so that it can serve as a blueprint for the manufacturing of the respective protein.

► My role in this field of research
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
For my PhD thesis, I developed an in vitro system to study the composition and the shape of this molecular machine at different stages of the splicing process in the fruit fly. By comparing the results of my experiments, to the research done with yeast and human cells, this work provided important insights into the evolutionary origin of these machines.

Neuroscience Trainings for Clear Thinking, Motivation, High Performance & Team Harmony▪️Improve with Science, not Motherhood Statements▪️Understanding Our Brain Makes Us Better At Everything We Do▪️TEDx▪️ben@benampil.com

If you do not "Mind" your Mind,  you would not be able to Manage your Behavior.


Efforts at instituting Change have been focused on the Structural aspects of the Organization. These has systematically failed because they neglected the reality that Change Cannot Happen without individual people changing their Thinking, Beliefs, and Behavior.

And all these depend on the Biology and Programming of the Human Brain.


Our Brain determines who we are, how we think, and how we act.  Yet most people know more about how their Phones work than they do their Brains.

There is no such animal as "Leadership" per se. 

Rather, Teams & Organizations can only, at best, look for behavioral manifestations of "Leadership".

With advances in Technology, we now know how the Brain is programmed to generate these Leadership Behavioral Manifestations (such as Motivation, Focus, Decision-Making, Critical Thinking, Creativity & Innovation, and Diversity, Equality, & Inclusion, to name a few).

"Traditional Training" focus merely on describing the "WHAT" but fall way short of providing Teams & Organizations the "HOW".

And those are in the realm of the Brain.

The better we understand how our Brains work, the better we can make our Brains work for us.

Recognizing this unserved need in the marketplace, Ben had invested considerable time and resources to pursue rigorous training in Applied Neuroscience from renowned learning providers, namely:  Harvard University EDx "Fundamentals of Neuroscience" (USA),  the OptiMind Neuroscience Institute (USA),  the Academy of Neuroscience & Education (UK),  the Neuroscience Academy (Australia),  and the Neuroscience School (Canada).

Ben is also certified as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner, having pursued his certification training from NLP Comprehensive (Colorado), and the Tad James Company (Las Vegas).

His Unique Selling Proposition (USP) follows the Equation:

Your Organization's Success  =    Science   +   Management Theory (Academic Degrees in Engineering, MBA, & Masters in Economics)   +   Actual Senior Executive Experience (over 20 years' experience in the various cross-functional disciplines of General Management in a wide variety of Industries).

John Sculley, the former CEO of Pepsi & Apple, once declared:  "The Future belongs to those who see Possibilities, before they become obvious."

Excuses would always be around.  Opportunities won't.
