About Brain Based Coaching

Brain Based Coaching takes the latest advances in neuroscience and applies them to the coaching process, helping coaches and clients to work more effectively and efficiently together.

No two brains are alike, so as a Brain Based coach, my main job is to help you to think better so that you can come up with great insights, and together we will create strategies and design actions that will work for you to achieve whatever your goals are.  

I am a Results Professional Certified Coach. Unlike many other coaching systems, the Results Coaching System, developed by David Rock  [founder of Neuroleadership Institute] is based on cutting edge research in Neuroscience.  It is science based, process focused, and results driven. 

Our brains are like Goldilocks, they like things to be just right. We are hard wired to be on the lookout for threats, and while this worked in prehistoric times rather well, in today's high stress environment, lots of things seem threatening to the brain.

When the brain interprets things as a threat, it goes into the fight or flight mode, also known as amygdala hijack. When this happens, all bets are off and it takes our prefrontal cortex (where we do our rational thinking) off-line and our ability to think effectively and come up with creative solutions declines markedly.

When the brain isn't happy, then nobody's happy. We are not able to memorize, decide, understand or recall things as easily. And if this isn't bad enough, we then tend to go on autopilot, where we fall back on habitual, unconscious behavior patterns of thinking and acting. Its like driving with one foot on firmly on the brake while the other foot is pushing lightly on the accelerator.

Using neuroscience principles, as a coach, I am able to help keep you in a place where you can do your best thinking, focusing on where you will get the most traction, as we work together. We'll begin by getting clear on what you really want and then create compelling goals and strategies to achieve your dreams and desires. Together we'll design actions consisting of concrete steps that you will take to achieve these goals. I will be with you every step of the way to provide thinking partnership, encouragement and keep you on track, so that we can celebrate your achievements together!

Keeping neuroscience principles in mind, I  am especially alert to how I communicate with you and listen to you, I help you to see and clarify your thinking--listening behind the words, so you can get the results you desire.  I can also share these principles with you if  you desire, so you can use them in your own life to be more effective personally, but also with those around you.

The rest of the team [trusted professionals that I work with myself] can help to support the brain as well. We often work together to provide whatever you might require, to keep you in peak form. We've got you covered from all angles, helping to maximize your results.
