OVERALL FINDINGS
The summary finding was that there were statistically significant differences in perceptions about achieving a specific goal after participants completed the NeuroStroll™. As a summary measure, we combined the before and after responses to each of the 13 questions. We then calculated a total score for each participant. The NeuroStroll™ elicited statistically significant changes in the Score of Before and After Perceptions of Goal Achievement, F(1, 34) = 35.685, p < .0005, partial ω2 = .512, with this score increasing from 3.60 ± .51 /before the NeuroStrollTM to 4.12 ± .45 /after the NeuroStroll™ (see Table 3).
In other words, the overall result suggests that this multi-modal set of experiences significantly shifted people’s knowledge and beliefs about reaching their goals.

Descriptive Statistics
| Mean | Std. Deviation | N | |
| Pre | 3.59780219786 | .513678446247 | 35 |
| Post | 4.12307692300 | .454394177911 | 35 |
We then examined which individual questions showed the most significant shifts after the NeuroStroll™. The 13 questions are listed in Table 4, and the results for each in Table 5.
An exciting finding is that the diversity of tools and experiences included in the NeuroStroll™ were new, relevant, and immediately applicable, as indicated by participant responses. For example, after the experience, they reported significant increases in understanding how to apply the following in order to reach their leadership goal:
- Use their senses
- Reframe negative thoughts
- Shift their arousal level
- Use mental contrasting and if-then implementations
- Track their progress
Of particular note was a significant shift in understanding the brain’s role in the process of change, and participants reported that they found the neuroscience information helpful.
Interestingly, the intervention did not significantly shift overall confidence in reaching one’s goal. Still, it significantly increased confidence in one’s ability to get back on track and keep working toward the goal, even when faced with challenges. Participants also felt more confident that they could sustain their goals once reached.
