Yay!!!!!! I can honestly say I haven't felt this happy about passing a qualification since I done my GCSE's! Even though my HR qualification was at a Level 7 passing my 5 Coaching Certifications is so much more rewarding because this is work I love doing and it makes such an immense difference to peoples lives. So yesterday was my final assessment and I'm pleased to say I nailed it. Whoop, whoop! 6 months of intensive on line training and weekly practice sessions have now come to an end and I am so proud to announce that I am now certified in: - Mindset Coaching - EFT Tapping - Hypnosis - Neural Energetic Encoding - Neural Energetic Wiring The last 2 probably sound very unfamiliar but these are basically specialist NLP practices that assist people in demolishing blocks and limitations to success in life that are sitting in a persons subconscious mind. I've used all of these on myself which I am sure have played a part in me getting such high marks on my assessments, I've used them with my Daughter helping her to prepare for her Theory Test (49/50 and she smashed her Hazard Perception Test) and now as she approaches her actual driving test and have worked with a number of people in helping them to overcome phobia's, minor addictions, releasing strong emotions from traumatic experiences, letting go of negative emotions and the most common of all helping people programme out a whole variety of limiting beliefs and then replace them with beliefs that support the prosperity and success they want to create for themselves. The biggest win for me was using these techniques to get over my fears around posting on social media which also links into my limited mindset on dimming my light and not allowing myself to shine in my field of expertise due to the limiting belief of 'I was the shy one' being planted in my mind at that critical age of between 0 - 7. I've loved working with people helping them to step into their full potential, to break through that invisible ceiling that kept getting in their way (basically limitations in their subconscious!), to create success and total happiness and basically live their best lives, and now I can carry on doing all of this with my certifications backing me up.

When Success Comes at Too Great a Cost In recent years, the coaching industry has exploded, promising transformation, growth, and a life of unlimited potential. While coaching can be valuable for goal-setting, motivation, and clarity, an alarming trend has emerged: coaches overstepping their expertise by delving into areas like trauma, phobias, and deep-seated emotional fears. This overreach not only risks harming clients but also distorts the concept of success in ways that can destroy relationships and leave lasting scars. Coaching Is Not a Substitute for Psychology Coaching, by its very nature, is action-oriented and forward-focused. Its aim is to help clients achieve goals, break through perceived barriers, and create positive change. While this sounds empowering, it is not equipped to address the complexities of the human psyche, especially when.............

Reflection on "Interconnection ~ Grounding the ICF competencies in neuroscience" Susan Britton and Jessica Burdett's article brilliantly connects coaching practices with neuroscience, offering insights into how and why coaching works. By linking the first four ICF competencies to neuroscience principles, the article provides valuable guidance for enhancing our coaching methods. For instance, understanding vagal tone in relation to ethical practice (ICF Competency #1) highlights the importance of creating a safe environment for clients. Similarly, the concepts of neuroplasticity and metacognition tied to embodying a coaching mindset (ICF Competency #2) emphasize ongoing personal and professional growth. The exploration of seeking and predictions in establishing agreements (ICF Competency #3) helps coaches support clients in managing uncertainties and focusing on their goals. Additionally, the discussion on oxytocin and emotional contagion in cultivating trust and safety (ICF Competency #4) underscores the role of empathy and emotional synchronization in building strong coaching relationships. As an ACC coach and a psychologist in training, reading this article felt like a warm validation of my journey. It's reassuring to see the scientific underpinnings of what we intuitively know works in coaching. The connection between neuroscience and coaching not only deepens my understanding but also inspires me to continually grow and refine my practice. I often grapple with self-doubt and the fear of not doing enough for my clients, but knowing that there are solid scientific principles behind our methods gives me confidence and hope. This article is a reminder that the work we do is meaningful and impactful, rooted in a profound understanding of the human mind and body. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next installment, and I feel grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow in this supportive community. Also, I'm grateful to have chosen to expand my knowledge and awareness pursuing a psychological degree after my coaching certification and credential. Knowing the theory is not as useless as we might think. While coaching is fundamentally about being and doing, how can we better integrate these crucial neuroscientific insights into our practice to elevate our effectiveness and impact? https://lnkd.in/dwRzk7xS

🌈 Coaching and neuroscience: transforming habits for lasting change 🌈 Understanding the intersection between coaching and neuroscience can profoundly impact how we support our clients in achieving lasting behavior change. Here's a breakdown of how neuroscience can help facilitate transformation: 🔹 Neuroscience and neuroplasticity - Neuroscience: The study of the brain and behavior. - Habits: Ingrained patterns in the brain like well-worn pathways. - Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout life. 🔹 Neuroplasticity, change, and coaching - Focus on desired change: coaching helps clients focus on desired changes, forming new neural pathways. - Creating new brain maps: continuous, intentional focus helps stabilize new brain maps, leading to behavioral changes. - Designing actions: coaches support clients in designing actions and managing progress and accountability. 🔹 Creating moments of insight - Below conscious awareness: most habits operate below conscious awareness. - "Ah-ha!" moments: coaching facilitates moments of insight, creating new neural connections. - Reinforcing new awareness: acting on and reinforcing new insights is crucial for developing new habits. 🔹 Mirror neurons and coaching - Mirror neurons: neurons that fire in sync with others' behaviors, making emotions and intentions contagious. - Tuning into clients: understanding mirror neurons helps coaches tune into clients and regulate their own emotions. 🔹 Overcoming resistance with the limbic system - Limbic system: the brain's emotional center, scanning for threats and rewards. - Engaging the prefrontal cortex: responsible for visioning our future self, decision-making, impulse control, self-awareness, and self-regulation. - Reducing stress: allowing clients to vent at the start of sessions helps engage the prefrontal cortex more effectively. 🔹 Coaching the deeply social brain - Social needs impact: esteem, choice, understanding, relatedness, and equity trigger engagement or avoidance in the limbic system. - Supporting social needs: coaches can support these needs by: ❇ ensuring clients set the agenda. ❇actively listening. ❇co-creating solutions. ❇establishing trust and intimacy. ❇designing a fair coaching alliance. By leveraging these principles, we create optimal conditions for clients to achieve meaningful, lasting change. 👉 Link to the article and references: The Neuroscience of Coaching By Laurie Ellington, MA ,LPC, MCC, HMCT, RYT, NBC-HWC (in comments)  💫 Follow me for more insights and to plant seeds of transformation! #ProfessionalCoach #Transformation #WellBeing #Leadership #Mindset #Neuroscience

THE SET UP: We are not the same. What you see I might not, what you mean to communicate might not land, what you feel is likely different for me. The acceptance of our internal diversity is another part of coaching and personal development work. We must recognise our sensory perceptions are / can be widely diverse to situations, ideas and process. INTERNAL v EXTERNAL DIVERSITY Understanding this variance in perception is crucial, especially in communication and collaboration. Our brains, while brilliant, are prone to these perceptual biases and noise, but we can work to approach situations with greater openness and clarity. This recognition helps us improve how we connect with and understand others, fostering more effective and harmonious interactions. THE MATHS: 1.5kg of Tofu encased in darkness and liquid, the bodies most energy intensive organ, the average brain contains around 86 billion neurons, each with thousands of connections, making for an intricate and highly personalized synaptic network in the trillions. Considering this astonishing complexity, it's no wonder that our perceptions and interpretations can vary so widely. WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THIS: Well start thinking how this is of relevance to you, your teams, your new job or your proposed goals for 2024. Neural Plasticity: Imagine a path, that in time becomes a small road that in time through use becomes a motorway. Believe it or not this is how your brain works and looks, what you might consider to be an adaptive and dynamic mindset might be a lot more rigid than you’d like to imagine, a sort of SATNAV for the brain that ignores bad traffic. The ability to rewire your learning is harder than you think, as I have said before, we are not predisposed to change, our base level operating system is just that, one relied upon as it has served us and kept us safe in the past. DEEPER DIVERSITY FRAMEWORKS: So what we might see on the outside is far from the full story. The 1.5kg of Tofu designed in part by genetics and part nurture/environment like childhood experiences to cultural influences, the environment we grow up in and interact with continually shapes our neural development and perceptual frameworks. Perhaps a little fun with the Red Coke Can, Coca Cola likely win by having imbedded a red coke can in the majority of our brains. Coaching on the other hand will facilitate discussion and bias toward helping us achieve goals and personal growth. The secret is to get started, my link is in the bio.

I want to be better at 'people' ... I want to have better emotional intelligence ... I want to be a better leader, and a better influencer ... All of the above are genuine reasons I see people during coaching. After many years of trying to 'fix' people skills issues for my coachees, it is now a question of 'are you interested or are you committed'? Why, because some people are desperate to change - committed, though some think it would be nice or ok to change ... eventually - interested. Those that are committed to change, will change. It is just a matter of time. And it is a matter of finding the right skills and tips and tools to try. - To see what works - To measure success - To retry To recommit. Until they get the outcome they are chasing - which is 'better connections with other humans'. Story and context: At the ripe old age of 21, I got committed. I had a moment ... when I realised that: I was not great at getting along with others. I was angry. People didn't like me, and I didn't like them (in a work setting, that is). It has now become a 30 year study, to answer some very specific questions: 🤔 How can I be more likeable (a nicer human)? 🤔 How can I respond, not react (control my emotions)? 🤔 How can I leave people better than I found them (make a difference)? I am still on a mission to answer these questions - 30 years later. Degrees, NLP, short courses, trial and error, and writing absolutely everything (every conversation) down have been ways that I have committed to learning the skills that I needed to 'be a good human'. Not easy, but totally worthwhile. Have a cracked the code, not yet, like you, I am a work in progress - but I will say I am so glad I have done the last 30 years of commit people focused work. And that might not be the path you take. However you go about it, if getting better at human-ing is on your to do list, go after it. But don't make it a nice to do, make it a need to do. We are homo-sapiens, a social species. The quality of your life is dependant on the quality of your relationships. Are you interested or committed? Hugs P.S.

Empathy Vs Emotional Intelligence : Part 2 Are you someone who constantly confuses being emotionally mature with being Kind? If you said yes, this is your sign to first save and like this post for reference. ................................................................... Are empathy and emotional intelligence the same? If you watched part 1 of this Reel you know that they aren’t… You need empathy to be emotionally intelligent, but being emotionally intelligent does not mean you are always in a empathetic state. In fact, being emotionally intelligent, but not allowing yourself to be empathetic, is the exact definition of a sociopath! While empathy without emotional intelligence is a perfect recipe for self-sabotage and can get you abused and bullied. .............................................................................

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 "𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠" 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 Lately, I’ve been repeatedly told that my methods are 'solid' when compared to other mindset coaches my clients came across. Their tools? Positive thinking and vision boards. While these have their place, they don’t fully address the complexity of mindset transformation. They lack the depth and rigor needed for real, sustainable change. So, let’s unpack this. True mindset shifts are rooted in neuroscience and require integration of both conscious change and subconscious rewiring. The phrase “𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳” isn’t just catchy; it’s how our brains work. Research from the Laboratory of Neuro Imaging shows that every thought we have either strengthens an existing neural pathway or creates a new one. However, it’s not just our conscious thoughts that shape us as humans and leaders — our subconscious habits, beliefs, and patterns play a massive role too on the individual and collective / team / organisational level. To create lasting change, we need to address both layers: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 like setting goals, practicing self-awareness, and intentionally choosing new thoughts help us direct change. 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, through methods like visualisation, nervous system regulation, and belief reprogramming, ensures those changes stick on a deeper level. This dual approach is what makes mindset coaching effective. It’s not about a single moment of positivity; it’s about consistent, repeated experiences that reshape how we think, feel, and act over time. Here are three evidence-based strategies that I’ve seen generate remarkable results for individual clients and teams: 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Intentional, repeated practices— shifts in personal and interpersonal habits supporting mindset of Growth—create the "neural reps" needed for rewiring both conscious and subconscious patterns. 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠: Tools like NLP, Psych-K, which I use every day, help shift subconscious beliefs that otherwise hold people back, creating alignment between inner beliefs and outer actions. 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Change begins in a regulated state. When the nervous system is calm, the brain is primed to learn and adapt (all of my clients receive complementary access to NSR sessions with an expert coach). Effective leadership mindset coaching combines the science of neural rewiring with techniques that work on the deeper layers of the mind - as applied to habits supporting sustained high performance, collaboration, agility and resilience. When done properly, it can be life-changing—and I’ve seen it happen time and time again.
