Breakthrough Coaching: Using the Neuroscience of Presence to Create More Transformational Moments

Dr. Reynolds will show how to establish a coaching presence that integrates the neuroscience of biochemical connection with the practical application of reflective inquiry in coaching.

The objective is to create a state of “co-regulation” to produce the safety, trust, and willingness to explore that prompts clients to fully participate in coaching even when they are hesitant or resistant. The consistent emotional energy of the coach then facilitates the processes of rooting out blocks, recognizing and transforming elements of identity formation, and promotes a confident commitment to moving forward.

The skills shared in this program will result in more breakthroughs in your coaching conversations.

Dr. Marcia Reynolds has spent 40 years researching how conversations can deepen connections that both unify and open minds to learning. She has delivered programs in 47 countries, teaches for coaching schools in the US, Asia, and the Middle East, and teaches leaders to use coaching skills in organizations and government agencies.
