The Coherence Advantage™ for Leaders is based on nearly two decades of research on the physiology of optimal performance. The program provides leaders with tools and skills for building and sustaining personal and unit resilience as a foundation for operational readiness, unit cohesion and mission success.
The HeartMath tools provide simple, but effective ways to shift the heart, brain and nervous system into a more coherent state, which allows leaders to perform at their best. Stabilizing the nervous system increases situational awareness and the ability to adapt and respond appropriately in complex and rapidly changing environments. Coherent leaders are better able to sustain resilience and create a climate of unit resilience and cohesiveness within the leadership team and among those they lead.
Leaders who practice these research-based self-regulation tools and resilience skills typically see improvements in:
- Productivity, motivation and cohesion.
- Cognitive performance such as sustained focus and attention, memory, reaction times and ability to discriminate and take appropriate action.
- Communication within the leadership team and among those they lead.
Training programs can be tailored to suit tactical training windows. This four-hour workshop can be delivered in two two-hour sessions or one four-hour session. More thorough training can be delivered over one, two or three days. Programs can be delivered by HeartMath or certified military trainers.

The emWave® Coherence Building Technology
Each leader is issued the handheld emWave coherence-building system, state-of-the-art technology that objectively measures heart-rate variability (HRV) and coherence anywhere, any time. This training system facilitates learning how to get coherent – the foundation for mental clarity, stress tolerance and sustained resilience. Utilizing visual and audio feedback, the system speeds and reinforces internalization of the self-regulation and resilience-building techniques.

- Measures and encourages coherence building.
- With practice, progressively increases your ability to shift to the coherence state on your own.
- Heightens clarity for discernment.
- Promotes balance and stability during or after stress-charged situations.
- Especially helps to prep and become coherent before engaging in potentially stressful events.
The emWave Desktop program can be installed on secured, networked military computers. The Certificate of Networthiness (CON) number is CERT-201008118.
