Nina Cooke joins Dr. Irena to dig into the roots of procrastination, exploring how emotional baggage and limiting beliefs shape our professional lives. With practical strategies and insights, Nina empowers listeners to overcome fear and embrace growth.

Welcome to Neuroscience of Coaching. In each episode, 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.

Nina Cooke is an entrepreneur coach, author, and host of two podcasts.

“For those listening, if they find that the benefits aren’t really motivating them, then they may want to look at the consequences of not taking that action. That might be a stronger motivation for them”
