Leveraging the Predictive Brain (Lion Goodman)

  • Episode #3

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

Lion Goodman has been called a subconscious-pattern detective, a belief therapist, a healer of the psyche, a teacher of change agents, a coach of coaches, and an “evocateur” — one who evokes the best in others.

He is a Professional Certified Coach and the CEO of the Clear Beliefs Institute, dedicated to awakening, healing, and enlightening humanity so we can get on with the job of being fully human while working in collaboration to create a world that works for everyone. This includes individuals, organizations, businesses, and governments, all of which are needed to create a sustainable and thriving planetary civilization.

After decades of inner research and development, he created the Clear Beliefs Method of trauma-informed therapeutic coaching to eliminate negative and limiting beliefs, resolve childhood wounds, and delete traumatic memories at their source. He has had the privilege of teaching this transformational technology to more than 500 coaches, therapists, healers, and consultants around the world through his Clear Beliefs Training.

Dr. Irena O’Brien teaches coaches and care professionals how to achieve better results for their clients through neuroscience.

She is the founder of Neuroscience School, which helps practitioners understand and apply insights from cutting-edge neuroscience research. She loves seeing her students gain confidence in their ability to evaluate neuroscience findings and use them successfully in their own practices. Her Certificate Program in Neuroscience is certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for Continuing Coaching Education credit.

Dr. O’Brien has studied neuroscience for 25 years and holds a Ph.D. in the field from the Université du Quebec à Montréal (UQAM), where she did brain-imaging studies. She completed her postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for Language, Mind, and Brain at McGill University.
