Coaching is all about change.
However, not all change is the same, and coaches need to be able to support three types of change: proactive change, transitions, and deep transformation.

formerly Coaching and the Brain as a Learning Catalyst
The human brain is a wonderful and wonderfully complex organ. Knowing how the brain works (and doesn’t work) helps coaches provide better coaching. In this course, you’ll learn the basics of neuroscience (in everyday English) and how to apply them to your coaching.
