Wiring Brains for Success: How Neuroscience Can Change the Way We Coach
Jeanie McKay and Gary Trantham will be presenting on this exciting topic. Would you like to learn more about how effective coaches are taking lessons from neuroscience and integrating more knowledge about the inner workings of the brain into their coaching practice? If so, we invite you to attend the presentation, "Wiring Brains for Success: How Neuroscience Can Change the Way We Coach" at the South Sound ICF meeting on September 1, 2016.
You will discover how new breakthroughs in neuroscience provide coaches with the scientific foundation needed to more effectively unleash client potential, change perceptions and habits, and improve performance in all areas of their lives. You will learn about the limbic system--an emotional part of the brain--and how it reacts when 'threat' or 'reward' situations are encountered. You will learn about the neurotransmitters that flood the body with stress hormones during situations involving change. You will learn and practice a few neuro-based coaching techniques to improve client mindfulness through meditation and centering (in preparation for and during coaching sessions). In addition, you will receive helpful guidance related to coaching empathy and intuition. Building trust and empathetic coach-client relationships are critical ICF core competencies and are essential to coaching success.
The presentation includes participative activities as well as time for questions and answers. So plan to join us and learn fascinating things about how the human brain influences performance and how an understanding of neuroscience basics can lead to more successful coaching outcomes!
This addresses the 3rd core competency: Establishing Trust & Intimacy with the Client Creating a safe, supportive environment that produces ongoing mutual respect and trust.
You can reply to this email and you can also go the ICF website to see other programs being offered.
