Teaching | Leadership | Relationships | Life
We teach people how their brain works, why they do what they do, and how to choose what comes next.
Life by design. Not default.
Ever snapped at someone you love and wondered where that came from?
Felt stuck in the same old patterns, even when you know better?
Said yes when every part of you meant no?
You’re human. There’s a reason behind every one of those moments... and once you understand it, you get your choices back.
At NewCore, we turn the science of human behaviour into simple, practical tools you can use at the kitchen table, in the staffroom or in the boardroom, starting the very same day.
The NewCore Methodology™
“Agency is knowing you have a choice, and having the courage to make it happen.”
Meet Jane
For years, Jane Newman kept a bowl of apples on her desk in the principal’s office. It was a quiet invitation to students and staff alike... come in, slow down, let’s connect.
That simple bowl of apples says a lot about how Jane works.
Jane spent 25 years in education, including a decade leading schools across regional and remote Queensland. Over that time she noticed something. The moments that changed people were rarely about rules or consequences. They were about understanding. When people understood what was going on inside them, they started making different choices.
In 2023, Jane left her principal role to make that her life’s work. Since then she has taught well over 1,000 people, from teachers and leaders to parents and teenagers, how their brain works, why they do what they do, and how to choose with intention.
Curious by nature, invitational by design, a teacher at her core who kindly pushes boundaries and believes every person holds the agency to design a life they love.
What we believe
Behaviour makes sense once you understand it.
Lasting change starts on the inside.
Every person has more choice than they realise.
NewCore brings together the neuroscience of how we’re wired,
the psychology of why we behave the way we do, and
the power of personal agency.
The result is practical, real-world learning that strengthens homes,
schools, workplaces and communities.
It all starts with three simple questions...
What do I want?
Is what I am doing working?
What else can I do?
The apple is still at the heart of it all. It’s in the NewCore logo, and it’s still an invitation... come in, slow down, let’s connect.
