Why the Brain Needs Coaching
“When coaches explain the brain to their clients, clients become more accepting of coaching, more aware of their own mental processes, and more self-aware.”
-David Rock
Discoveries from Neuroscience
• Neurons that fire together, wire together.• The brain is hard-wired.– Brain looks for patterns and creates maps.– Brain reacts through fight, flight, freeze.– Emotion drives attention; attention drives
learning.
Coaching Mentoring• Coaches hold the belief that the person being coached is competent and capable of generating their own solutions to their goals.
• Mentors guide from his/her own experience. The purpose of mentoring is for mentors to share their expertise with novices, to help novices feel comfortable and secure.

Distractions
Pay attention to verbal/nonverbalcues

• “You’re thinking that…”• “So, you’re wondering if…”• You’re frustrated because…”
– Summarizing and organizing• “Sounds like you’re ready to move on…”• “I am hearing that you are dissatisfied with your classroom management.”• “ I hear 3 things: first, you’re going to…”
– Shifting conceptual focus (most difficult)• Shift Up: “So, a major goal for you this year might be?”• Shift Down: “List 5 strategies that you might employ to reach your goal”
