Understand how coaching can help rewire your brain for change.
Introduction
Whether you’re seeking personal growth, career advancement, or a healthier lifestyle, our brains often resist leaving behind well-worn paths in favor of new and uncharted territory. But here’s the good news: coaching can be a potent catalyst for change, thanks to your brains ability to change through neuroplasticity.
Understanding Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity, often referred to as the brain’s “plasticity,” is the extraordinary capacity of our brain to adapt, change, and reorganize itself throughout our lives. This concept challenges the once-held belief that our brain’s structure and function remain fixed after a certain age. Instead, we now know that the brain is highly adaptable and can form new neural connections, strengthen existing ones, and even reroute neural pathways to accommodate new experiences and learning.
How Does Coaching Help?
Coaching reps individuals leverage neuroplasticity through structured and purposeful self-discovery.
- Identify the beliefs that have held you back. So many of us have rooted beliefs that we aren’t even aware of. Coaches help clients identify and unpack these beliefs, bringing them into awareness. You can only change the things you are aware of!
- Rewire: Once the beliefs are identified, coaching helps clients reframe these beliefs. This will weaken those ingrained “wires” and help create new neural pathways.
- Defining purpose and goals: Coaching helps clients to articulate their motivations, desires, and goals. This newfound clarity and sense of purpose creates a strong foundation and helps the brain prioritize neural pathways that align with these goals.
- Accountability: Regular coaching provides accountability, support, and reinforcement.
Coaching is a transformative journey that taps into the brain’s ability to change, grow, and adapt. Working with a skilled coach can help you along this incredible journey of transformation.
