Breakthrough Coaching: Blending the Neuroscience of Co-Regulation with Coaching Skills to Create More Transformational Moments

Drawing on recent discoveries in the neurosciences and intrinsic motivation, this program teaches the latest techniques for stimulating the new thinking and long term behavioral change needed to create breakthrough results when coaching. These practices are particularly useful when coaching executives and leaders who may be resistant to interventions and change.

One of the common challenges we face when coaching leaders is revealing the blind spots and points of resistance that keep them from intentionally moving forward. We often focus on the “active competencies” of setting the agreement, listening, evoking awareness, and facilitating progress. Yet these skills are less effective if we don’t master maintaining a courageous, compassionate presence that works best without thinking. Our presence creates the safety, trust, and willingness to explore, prompting clients to fully participate in coaching even when they were hesitant or resistant.
