ABOUT THE SESSION:
In this conversation we will learn, discuss, and practice a few methods to demonstrate what every coach, consultant, and leader needs to know about how the brain works, including:
• how to avoid setting up everyday threats that arouse the limbic system and reduce the ability of our prefrontal cortex to plan and create,
• why change is so hard from a physical perspective, and
• the new science of attention, reflection, insight and action.
Participants will leave with a better understanding of how to shape human development interventions, such as coaching and /or performance interventions in a manner that increases the likelihood for positive change.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR:
Ginny has operated her own OD consulting and leadership coaching practice in and around Denver for 15 years. She’s a Gestalt trained practitioner who is also qualified in Emotional Intelligence; and, has earned the qualification of Master Certified Coach (MCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF.) For the past year or so she has been engaged in a number of learning endeavors related to working with the “brain in mind.”
Ginny has recently been certified as a brain-based coach after completing David Rock’s 16 week Intensive Coach Training program. Rock is one of the thought leaders in the global coaching community who has set out to integrate neuroscience findings into the business world. Thus, she’s been involved with embedding and tailoring her assumptions, language, and methods to be more aligned with an individual’s “hard-wired” way of thinking.
Ginny is not a neuroscientist, but, like many of you, she sees herself as a lifelong learner who’s become intrigued with what’s going on at the intersection of neuroscience and human performance. She offers what she’s learned about this timely and budding topic for us to take in and consider together.
