A good coach seeks to understand how a client thinks, makes meaning and creates their unique world of experience.
How is this done? The brain creates how we see the world, it is behind everything we do: our beliefs, values, decisions, dreams and goals. Coaches need to know how the brain works to truly understand their clients (and themselves).
Neuroscience studies how the brain works, and its discoveries are transforming psychology and all professions engaged in helping people to change. To know yourself must now include, ‘know your brain’.
Coaching is reshaping itself with the findings of neuroscience. When coaches talk to clients, they talk to their brain in all its complexity and conflict, which then constructs the meaning and the experience. The methodology and practices of coaching need to accord with how the brain works in practice. The leading edge of coaching is integrating subjective experience with its biological roots to give a better path for clients.
