42. Carol Henry & Neuroscience in Leadership Coaching

Carol Henry is a leadership coach who works with current and emerging leaders to develop their skills and capacity. She is passionate about working with women to reveal the stories that allow them to step into their power both personally and professionally. Carol shares her thoughts on neuroscience in relation to coaching and the paths that can be taken to change habits and “rewire” ourselves. Carol strongly believes that having supportive people in your life can help people do the most difficult things. She speaks to the daunting task of making decisions children face before they are self-aware and how a large percentage of the population is not living in choice. Our conversation is just the beginning.

What is Thought Leader?

We put scare quotes around the term “thought leader.” Don't worry - no hagiographic interviews here. No upsells, no bullshit.

We have great conversations with true innovators, thinkers, disrupters, creatives, and a few fools. (You decide.) We ask them all for insights, stories and tools. (You'll laugh, you'll shout, you might fall asleep. It's all good.)

We are all thought leaders. Think more. Lead better.
