After 20 years of developing innovative process and project management solutions for businesses in diverse industries, John Kennedy was contracted by the US Marines in 2006 to develop a cognitive skills enhancement program to reduce casualties in combat by improving focus, intuition, situational awareness, and critical decision making under stress. Combining the latest research into neuroplasticity with his proprietary methodologies, he created Combat Brain Training^TM, which utilizes PACE^TM (Progressively Accelerated Cognitive Exertion^TM). This unique nondigital-based approach to neuroplasticity physically changes the brain to be more focused and process faster in just hours.

To date, over 2,500 people have experienced PACE, and 100% report significant improvement in performance in all areas of their lives. Trainees include Marines, Special Operations forces and their instructors, pilots, professional athletes, businesspeople, students, children, and those suffering from brain trauma, including traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and concussions. All have had their lives positively changed by the program. Mr. Kennedy is currently working on a book entitled Zombie Thinking, to be released later this year.
