Coaching the Emotional Brain: How Neuroscience Informs Empathy, Presence, and Change

In today’s emotionally charged world, many clients struggle to self-regulate, connect authentically, and sustain meaningful change. This masterclass takes coaches beneath the surface — into the neural and emotional architecture that drives human behavior — revealing how the latest neuroscience translates directly into more effective, presence-based coaching.

Dr. D. Ivan Young, MCC, an internationally recognized Behavioral Neuroscience Expert, demonstrates how the interplay between the limbic system, prefrontal cortex, and mirror neurons influences empathy, decision-making, and self-awareness in coaching sessions.

The session includes a 15-minute live coaching demonstration with a volunteer participant, followed by guided reflection and discussion on the practical application of brain-based coaching methods.
