Neuro-coaching

Neuro-coaching brings findings about how the brain learns and changes into coaching. The flexibility of the nervous system, that is, neuroplasticity, shows that new habits are biologically possible. David Rock's work brought this field closer to the language of coaching. The brain narrows under threat and widens in safety; this is why learning first requires safe ground. The coach does not turn science into a prescription, but understanding why a person reacts as they do increases patience.
