What Is A Brain Health Coach?

With over two decades of corporate experience, I often get asked, "What is a brain-based coach in business?"

This question is often rooted in images of sports. Someone with a whistle and clipboard who had once succeeded on the court or field themselves. Sports coaches know what it takes to build the strength, endurance, and dedication to win the trophy.

As a Brain Health Coach I coach to build mental strength and resiliency based on one's unique design and wiring. I practice brain-based coaching methods that drive results from bringing forward one’s own best thinking, intuition, and insights. It’s the dance of a coaching conversation that brings one’s unconscious to the conscious for eureka moments that are bursting with motivation. 

A Unique Background of Qualifications

With credentials from the NeuroLeadership Institute (NLI), Amen Clinics, and The International Coaching Federation (ICF), I bring a diverse skill set encompassing neuroscience-informed leadership, brain health assessment and optimization, and professional coaching. Coupled with Human Design guidance, I help individuals align to their unique strengths in their decision making.

I'm equipped to apply neuroscientific principles to leadership development, conduct comprehensive brain assessments to address mental health and cognitive challenges, and provide coaching services to support personal and professional growth.

I see myself as a valuable resource in helping individuals and organizations optimize brain function, enhance leadership capabilities, and achieve their goals.

The NLI result-based coaching framework is what I use to conduct my one-on-one private sessions that focuses on helping individuals achieve specific outcomes or goals.

What To Expect From A NLI Result-Based Coach

Active Listening

Coaches practice active listening, which involves fully engaging with the client's words, tone, and body language. They pay attention to both the spoken and unspoken messages to gain a deeper understanding of the client's goals and challenges.

Questioning and Curiosity

Coaches ask thought-provoking questions to help clients explore their goals, uncover their strengths, and identify potential barriers. These questions encourage self-reflection, new perspectives, and insights, fostering growth and progress.

Goal Setting

Coaches assist clients in defining clear and measurable goals. They work collaboratively to establish specific objectives that align with the client's values and aspirations. Setting goals helps create focus and direction for the coaching process.

Feedback and Feedforward

Coaches provide constructive feedback to clients, highlighting their strengths and areas for improvement. They offer suggestions and alternative approaches, encouraging clients to consider new possibilities and strategies for achieving their goals.

Cognitive and Emotional Regulation

Coaches help clients understand and regulate their cognitive and emotional responses. They assist clients in managing stress, building resilience, and developing a growth mindset, enabling them to navigate challenges more effectively.

Awareness and Insight

Coaches help clients increase their self-awareness by exploring their values, beliefs, and assumptions. They guide clients in gaining insights into their behaviors and patterns, empowering them to make conscious choices and take meaningful actions.

Accountability and Action Planning

Coaches support clients in developing action plans to move closer to their goals. They assist in identifying specific steps, setting timelines, and holding clients accountable for their commitments. Regular check-ins and progress assessments ensure momentum and accountability.

Brain-Based Techniques

NLI incorporates neuroscientific principles to optimize coaching outcomes. Coaches may use techniques such as visualization, reframing, mindfulness, and other brain-friendly strategies to enhance learning, motivation, and performance.

Overall, NeuroLeadership (NLI) result-based coaching is a holistic approach that combines neuroscience, leadership principles, and coaching techniques to help individuals achieve their desired outcomes.

Through active listening, questioning, goal setting, feedback, regulation, awareness, accountability, and brain-based techniques, coaches empower their clients to unlock their potential, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful results.

Brain-focused coaches are in a unique position to facilitate environments conducive to insights. Some even have referred to it as “mystical downloads”. Cultivating space for these sudden solutions to problems, recognitions of new ideas, or sudden understandings of complex situations support powerful innovation.

This specific approach to coaching is brain-based and hinges on several key understandings and factors which you can learn more about in another post The 6 Factors of Brain-Based Coaching.
