About

The
BrainingUP
Method

It’s In-Person:

Our model requires participants to listen, adapt, and respond to other people in real-time. This dynamic is impossible to replicate alone on a screen.

It’s Expert-Led:

Our curriculum is delivered by credentialed facilitators with decades of experience in exercise design (15+ years) and group counseling (30+ years, M.A. Counseling) who respond to needs on-the-spot.

It’s Adaptive:

It’s Adaptive: After every session, our trainers debrief and modify the next week’s plan. If a concept was too difficult or too easy, the plan is changed. This ensures the group is always in its optimal zone of challenge—a level of customization no algorithm can offer.

BrainingUp is the result of the combined expertise of Susan Fiorani, MBA, MS in Counseling, and Claudio Fiorani, MS in Technology, experts in the fields of personal and group engagement.

With 24 years of counseling experience, Susan has dedicated her career to helping individuals successfully navigate new environments, while her 18 years in corporate coaching have made her a trusted authority in managing organizational transitions and resilience-building.

Claudio brings complementary strengths, with over 11 years in digital engagement and 15 years focused on elevating in-person experiences through innovative gamification strategies.

Their collaboration on BrainingUp has produced a program that is as scientifically sound as it is engaging—a unique blend of cognitive and emotional growth activities delivered in a stimulating and supportive environment.

Together, Susan and Claudio have crafted BrainingUp to be more than just a program; it’s a pathway to lasting mental resilience and connectedness that energizes participants and leaves a lasting positive impact.
