Demystifying the Neuroscience of Coaching: It's Not Rocket Surgery

What’s next in the future of coaching? Neuroscience is all around us and is an area that many are beginning to explore. The reality is some of our traditional coaching practices may not be helping our clients get the best result possible. We can often inadvertently introduce things that have a negative impact and create obstacles. Add to that the abundance of “neuromyths” in this field, and it is easy to see how our good intentions can have the opposite effect. The question is, how do we leverage foundational neuroscience to work with the brains of our clients (and our own) instead of against them?

Join this practical approach to incorporating some of the foundational principles of neuroscience into your coaching practice. You will come away with an understanding of key drivers and behavioral change methods based on sound research and an expanded toolset ready for immediate use. Some of the learnings that will be highlighted and supported by practical exercises include:
• The brains underlying organizing principle.
• How to work with the social brain to help our coaching clients get desired results.
• How we can mitigate our own cognitive biases as coaches.
• Science-based questioning techniques for expanded thinking.

This practical session will also examine many traditional coaching approaches through the lens of sound scientific research and provide opportunities for attendees to uncover new insights and make connections to their own personal coaching approach
