How to Change a Brain

Our speaker,  Bev Holden, will lead this interactive experience, and will invite you to consider how to be an active and independent thinker as we explore how we might use Appreciation as a 'brain-changer' in our work as Coaches. By making links to neuroscience, tapping into our lived experience, and by experimenting practically together, we will uncover our freshest thinking on this subject.

During our time together we will:

• Examine the evidence that Appreciation has the power to transform thinking and performance
• Explore real examples of its impact on individuals and teams
• Have a real and authentic 'appreciation experience' as part of the session, and reflect on what is true for each of us for this topic
• Consider how to amplify Appreciation in our coaching practice effectively, through a practical activity 
• Apply our freshest thinking to the current reality that continues to be dominated by Covid-19

Why attend?

This will be an experiential session facilitated in a Thinking Environment(R) with a focus on discussion, exploration and experimentation to reveal the 'wisdom in the room' that will inspire us to weave Appreciation into our work as coaches, leaders and human beings.
