Barry Kayton is the founder and CEO of successful San Francisco-based startup, Cognician, a change management platform, and digital coaching solution that creatively uses cognitive-behavioral methods to achieve behavioral changes at scale.
Utilized by many Fortune 500 companies to help executives learn new skills and shift their patterns of thoughts and behavior, Cognician is a change management platform that provides user-friendly, bite-sized, and customized learning activities, digital coaching, quests, gamified learning modules, assessments, and more.
Cognician's digital coaching programs are designed to build capability from within. Through self-directed learning, users develop a reflective mindset that facilitates new ways of thinking and working.
Taking the reflective questioning approach of a coach and combining it with an online platform that supports self-directed and personalized learning, Cognician provides a recipe for creating sustainable change at scale. Cognician’s programs use coaching guides (which they call ‘Cogs’) to guide learners with powerful mental models that steer their thoughts and actions, using their cognitive-behavioral approach to teach everything from speech and persuasion skills to cybersecurity. Cognician aims to support the development of new habits by helping learners to follow through over time on their commitment to change. Cognician utilizes a cutting-edge teaching method that engages learners by asking the students questions that guide students to drawing proper conclusions using their own critical thinking.
