They explore how the predictive brain, emotional contagion, and mind-body connection influence behavior, energy, and change—and how coaches can use these insights for deeper, lasting client transformation.\nIn each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.\n“The purpose of the brain is not for thinking or feeling but to ensure that we grow, survive, and reproduce.”  — Dr. Irena O’Brien\nHost Bio:\nDr. Irena O’Brien teaches coaches and care professionals how to achieve better results for their clients through neuroscience.\nShe is the founder of Neuroscience School, which helps practitioners understand and apply insights from cutting-edge neuroscience research. She loves seeing her students gain confidence in their ability to evaluate neuroscience findings and use them successfully in their own practices. Her Certificate Program in Neuroscience is certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for Continuing Coaching Education credit.\nDr. O’Brien has studied neuroscience for 25 years and holds a Ph.D. in the field from the Université du Quebec à Montréal (UQAM), where she did brain-imaging studies. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Language, Mind, and Brain at McGill University.\nResources mentioned in this episode:\nMirasee\nDr. Irena O’Brien’s website: The Neuroscience School\nCredits:\nHost: Dr. Irena O’Brien\nProducer: Andrew Chapman\nAudio Editor: Marvin del Rosario\nExecutive Producer: Danny Iny\nMusic Soundscape: Chad Michael Snavely\nMaking our hosts sound great: Home Brew Audio\nMusic credits:\nTrack Title:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/OkRhxohT3r9F1IGONxxYMrSfPeWULpvDdhNwh58USV0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNGMy/MzA0NzI4YmI2OWIz/OTM3NGY0NWU3OWM5/ODk4YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
