The PEPE© Model

Pain is an uncomfortable sensory or emotional experience that tells you something is wrong. Pain is interpreted and perceived in the brain.

Energy is the capacity for work and motion. Change, uncertainty and complexity as we very well know consumes a massive amount of energy.

Peaks and Valleys is the level of fluctuations in the brain chemistry’s flow and electrical impulses.

Error signal is the ability of the brain to produce a signal and behaviour as a result of a conflict between actual and intended responses.

Testimonials

PEPE© model has helped me to think differently about the actions we as change practitioners take when managing change. Knowing the neurological effects has made it clearer to me why some actions work better than others. This knowledge has provided me with the evidence I needed to strengthen the debates I was having with my clients.

The certification offers a great learning experience. The content was well organized and explained, and the PEPE model offered tremendous insights into the brain science 'why' behind models like Prosci's ADKAR and David Rock's SCARF and management methodologies like Lean, Six Sigma and Agile. The course is an elegant blend of scientific research, theory and application, offering concrete strategies that will enable effective change and transition in individuals and organizations. Tibi herself is a joy to learn from - passionate about brain science, experienced in organizational development, and learner-driven in her approach. I would highly recommend this course to coaches, consultants and change leaders.

PEPE Model offered us a clear understanding of “why” we need to manage change within people. It provided us with an easy to understand but structured framework on “how” to practically cope with multiple changes. I appreciated the fact that was practical and filled with lot of relevant examples, tips and strategic solutions easy to implement.

At our organization, we've received excellent feedback from the teams who have taken this neuroscience training program. The program was delivered to our internal coaches, business analysts, and change managers, and it has proven to be an invaluable tool for facilitating change. We've integrated the PEPE Model into our leadership development and change management models, providing us with a comprehensive framework that serves as an umbrella for our other strategies. By leveraging the power of neuroscience, we're better equipped to drive meaningful change and to offer tools to the wider organisation to cope better with change and achieve our organizational goals.
