Neuroscience fundamentally changes the way you coach
Coaching can bring about profound transformation. You know this.
There are those sessions when you see a client’s life change before your eyes. They break through the block that’s been limiting them for years, and you can see the glimmers of their true power. They tap into their own wisdom—wisdom you could see, but that was hidden from them.
But then there are those sessions where nothing seems to shift. No matter what you try—what angle you come from—it just doesn’t get into the core of the issue.
What’s the difference?
You may feel like you approached them with the same mindset, used the same basic principles, but something is fundamentally different. What is it?
Now, we are beginning to truly understand why.
Through decades of revolutionary research, neuroscience can tell us what happens in the brain and body when different coaching techniques are used.
These discoveries are transforming the practice of coaching.
Neuroscience reveals why a number of “tried and true” methods fail, and how we might be inadvertently sabotaging our own coaching work.
It shows us how we can guide our clients away from the contractions of stress and closed-mindedness, into positive learning states that allow genuine change to occur.
And it gives us the neurobiology of presence — both how to access this powerful state, and why it has such a profound effect on your coaching.
The Neuroscience of Change is an in-depth online training featuring the world’s top neuroscientific coaches and experts.
When we created the training in 2019, it was the first and only neuroscience course for coaches. It’s now in its 6th edition, and each year we work with pioneers in the field to continually bring you the most cutting-edge science so you can effect positive change in your clients and in the world.
This training will enable you to…
- Discover why some traditional coaching techniques actually inhibit change, and what we can do instead.
- Guide yourself into the neural state most conducive to deep intuition and clarity, so you can consistently create breakthrough sessions with your clients
- Equip your coaching toolbox with techniques validated by neuroscientific research, so you can create positive change in each person you work with
- Understand the neurobiology of wisdom, compassion, well-being, and presence, so you can reliably access these powerful states of being
This knowledge can transform your coaching practice. In fact, implementing the principles of neuroscience has the potential to be as transformative for you as it is for your clients.
You’ll no longer wonder whether each session will bring about true change. Rather, you’ll have the humble confidence that you’re doing exactly what you need to do in order to open your clients to their deepest wisdom.

- Module 1
The Fundamentals of Neuroscientific Coaching
with Amanda Blake, David Treleaven, and Alan Fogel
Module One explores what neuroscience is revealing about the pathways and barriers to change — and how this is pointing the coaching profession towards an increasingly whole-person approach, including body and mind. You’ll learn to deepen your own embodied self-awareness, while guiding your clients to do the same. We’ll explore the importance of coaching presence, the distributed brain, and how you can tune in to the myriad avenues of wisdom available to you in each moment.
