From Manager to Coach: Embedding NeuroCoaching® into Your Leadership Routine

Leadership used to be about control. Today, it’s about connection. The leaders who thrive in today’s fast-moving, hybrid, emotionally complex workplaces aren’t the ones who manage people well—they’re the ones who coach them better.

Digital Coaching, AI Reinforcement & the Future of Behavior Change at Scale

Sales isn’t about convincing—it’s about connecting. Yet, despite decades of training and technology, many sales professionals still default to pitching products instead of telling stories. The problem? Our brains are not wired to be persuaded by data alone. We are wired to feel before we think. That’s why the most influential salespeople aren’t just presenters. […]
Coaching Without Labels

Recently, I had the privilege of seeing label•less, an Off-Broadway musical created by Drew and Lea Lachey. It is not your typical show. There are no clear heroes or villains, no perfect resolutions. Instead, it is a series of interwoven stories, part concert and part conversation, designed to help us see one another without judgment. […]
Why Every Conversation Shapes Your Culture

When leaders talk about culture, they often describe it as something lofty, intangible, or even aspirational. It becomes a set of words on a wall or a paragraph in an employee handbook.

Coaching the Inner Critic: Neuroscience-Based Strategies to Overcome Self-Doubt

Every leader and team member has an inner voice. Sometimes it is a motivator, offering encouragement and perspective. Other times it becomes a relentless critic, whispering doubts, amplifying insecurities, and undermining confidence.

Dopamine-Driven Goal Setting: Motivating Change with Neuroscience

If you’ve ever set a big goal — like running a marathon, crushing a sales quota, or finally sticking to that new routine — you know motivation doesn’t always show up when you need it most. But here’s the good news: motivation isn’t magic, it’s chemistry. Specifically, it’s dopamine. Dopamine is often called the brain’s […]
Cognitive Reframing: Coaching Clients Through Perspective Shifts

When clients feel stuck, it’s rarely because they lack skill. More often, it’s because they’re locked into a way of seeing the situation that limits their choices. This is where the power of cognitive reframing comes in. Reframing isn’t about sugarcoating challenges or ignoring reality. It’s about helping clients reinterpret situations in ways that reduce […]
Integrating Mirror Neuron Insights: Fostering Empathy and Connection in Coaching

Integrating Mirror Neuron Insights: Fostering Empathy and Connection in Coaching It happened during a virtual session with a first-time executive client. She was describing a high-stakes meeting where she felt dismissed and unheard. As she recounted the moment, her voice softened, her eyes shifted down, and she paused mid-sentence. I didn’t interrupt. I just mirrored […]
The Science of Neuroplasticity: Designing Coaching Interventions That Stick

The Science of Neuroplasticity: Designing Coaching Interventions That Stick It’s the coaching dream: a client has a breakthrough in session—insight, clarity, energy—and you both leave feeling momentum. But a few weeks later, nothing’s changed. Old behaviors are back. The team is frustrated. The client is frustrated. And you’re left wondering: What happened? Chances are, it […]
NeuroLeadership Principles Every Coach Should Know

NeuroLeadership Principles Every Coach Should Know A VP of HR once said during a coaching debrief, “It’s not that our leaders don’t care. It’s that they don’t understand what’s happening in the brains of their people—or their own.” That statement stuck with me. Because for all the focus on leadership competencies, communication skills, and personality […]
