On … Curiosity This is a theme that I have discussed a few times this week with my clients during coaching sessions and also with my own coach Christine BILLY, Ph.D, MBA . I actually realise that we do not ask enough #questions and instead we assume. Asking #questions, leading with #curiosity is so powerful. Its power lays in the fact that: -> it will destroy our #assumptions and most of the time will reduce stress( as our assumptions will nearly automatically be on the negative, catastrophic side as our brains will take us there most of the time). -> It will reduce #misunderstandings and open new possibilities and solutions and remove our self imposed #blindspots -> Some neuroscience based research shows us that #curiosity activates the brain reward system making learning and discovery more pleasureable. And this can reduce our reliance on assumptions also known as cognitive shortcuts. So I invite you to move from “ Expert to Explorer” #communication #curiosity #coaching

As an executive coach, I feel very confident discussing the value of manifestation as neuroscientists back it up explaining how we can use our brains to reach our goals. While writing SMART goals and doing vision boards are great, there’s much more to know about how to achieve your goals. For success, you have to deeply imagine and believe your goal is possible and real. See it, feel it, smell it, hear it, and taste it. The more you imagine, the more your brain gets that this is important to you. This is where neuroscience comes in.  Neuroplasticity is the ability for our brains to create new pathways. You can literally train your brain. Manifesting creates a filter in the reticular activating system telling your brain to look for opportunities aligned with your goal. With consistent positive thoughts and proactive intentions you also feel more motivated to take necessary action. You have likely heard the saying thoughts that wire together, fire together. Focus equals results. The power of positive thinking. Manifesting is all if these things backed up by the real science of how our brains can work to support our goals. How cool is this?! You and your magnificent brain can literally create the life you want to live. I love the intersection of woo woo and science. Reach out if you would like to discuss and explore how you can rewire your brain and do all the things to manifest your goals. You deserve it! #growthmindset #manifestation #success

🫂 Wired for Connection: The Neuroscience Behind Transformative Coaching The more I learn about us human beings and how our brain works in collaboration with our body, the more I am in AWE of what scientists are discovering, especially regarding the importance of human connections in our evolution. Neuroscience shows that the brain is actually a SOCIAL ORGAN that thrives on meaningful relationships because it’s wired for and because of SOCIAL INTERACTION (!!!). New neural pathways form and existing ones strengthen through emotional experiences, particularly when there is a GENUINE connection between two people. In coaching, this emotional bond triggers several key chemical processes in the brain. The release of (1) oxytocin, often referred to as the "bonding hormone," promotes feelings of trust and safety, while (2) dopamine activates the brain’s reward centers, reinforcing positive experiences and motivating behavior change. Additionally, emotional experiences can lead to the release of (3) serotonin, which contributes to mood regulation and emotional well-being. These chemicals collectively create an environment conducive to learning, making change more SUSTAINABLE. While an ICF certification ensures a coach’s expertise (still my #1 criteria of the list), it’s the EMOTIONAL CONNECTION that truly drives TRANSFORMATION. 👉 When choosing a coach, let both your HEART ❤️ and MIND 🧠 guide you. 👀 Which meaningful relationships have had the greatest impact on your personal or professional growth? #Coaching #Neuroscience #GrowthMindset #ICF #ConnectionMatters #LeadershipDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #ChooseWisely #Transformation #AuthenticLeadership 📸 IG @lagardenuria

I am fascinated by the brain, learning how it works and how flexible it can be...if we work at it. Neuroscience studies show that we can create neuroplasticity through thought alone. Our thoughts are extremely powerful, and what we perpetuate in our heads becomes a reality. We can use this knowledge to our advantage. Research shows that mental imagery stimulates the same brain regions as when we physically perform the same movements and actions. Mentally rehearsing your performance with repetition means that the actions become habituated in your mind. If you’ve already imagined executing something, then it will be easier to execute later because you’ve created a blueprint for new pathways to form. #leadership #coaching #workplaceculture #womeninleadership #shrm

New Q&A Session Next Wednesday! 🔔 INTUITION - Source of Wisdom or Misunderstandings? 👁 Join us as we explore how to connect with intuition and how to create from it in coaching. We'll discuss the risks and gains of using intuition and how to integrate it effectively. 💬 The session is interactive, and you can expect exchanges with others, along with insights based on my own experience and education as someone rooted in somatic practices, neuroscience, and spirituality. This is a Q&A session designed for professional coaches and coaches in training.  WHEN: Wednesday, November 6th at 6PM CET / 12 PM ET (60 min long). WHERE: Zoom. DM me for the signup link. #coactivecoaching #embodiedpresence #embodiedselfawareness #embodiedwisdom #presencematters #wholenessinu
