Neuroscience and Coaching

This session is part of our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Coaches Programme. This training is aimed towards those wishing to advance their coaching knowledge, and therefore you will need to have previously engaged in foundational coach training. 

Neuroscience, the scientific study of the nervous system, is an area of science that is uncovering significant findings year after year. Given how our brains and nervous systems directly affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour, coaches benefit from a good understanding of some critical elements of neuroscience to improve their effectiveness. 

This session will give coaches an overview of neuroscience and share valuable insights and tools. Learn how knowledge and understanding of the relevant elements of neuroscience, when combined with a coaching approach, can positively impact motivation, goal setting and action planning.
