The human brain is a predictive machine. Our minds evolved to forecast and anticipate what’s next to ensure our survival. Dr. Irena talks with Lion Goodman about how coaches can leverage “the predictive brain” to help clients achieve better outcomes.

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.

Lion Goodman is a Professional Certified Coach and the CEO of the Clear Beliefs Institute.

“Thank you, brain. Thank you for holding on to these patterns for so long, because you’ve helped me survive. But now I’m an adult. I’m not five years old anymore.”

— Lion Goodman
