Coaching, Neuroscience And Consciousness

Join us for a fascinating look at what happens when we sleep. From the rationalist neuroscience view to the magic of dreams, this promises to be a wide-ranging conversation as we explore how our consciousness goes to "night school." Dream expert Will Sharon joins us for this conversation. 

It's back! BEabove Leadership's semi-annual neuroscience, consciousness and coaching advice show. Bring us your biggest challenges and we'll see if we have any helpful advice, based on what we understand about the brain. Open to coaches, leaders and curious people in general. Call in with questions or send them in advance to ann@beaboveleadership.com. 

Join us for a lively exploration of the new field of Human Consciousness Architecture. It's not really the end of coaching, but rather, an evolution and revolution that is already happening in the profession it matures. As always, we'll dive deep into the neuroscience of this new way of working with people, and link it all to our model of consciousness, the Seven Levels of Effectiveness.  Whether you're a coach or someone simply interested in human development, this broadcast will most likely a) confirm and perhaps provide language for what you are already sensing; b) provide a structure to think about how we interact with each other for the sake of development; and c) (hopefully) inspire and intrigue you!  

Do you know feeling of being around someone who is a "yes" to everything? The sense that they are with you, open, and engaged? What about those who seem to respond with a "no" to everything, no matter what? In this episode, join us as we explore the brain's "toward" or "away" response, how critical a "toward" response is for learning and relationships, and what it takes to elicit "toward" responses in others as well as how to help your clients (also friends, family, and yourself as well) rewire their brains to become more of a YES to their lives. As always, we'll also look at this through the lens of the Seven Levels of Effectiveness. (For more information on the Seven Levels please look at our consciousness model on our website. http://www.beaboveleadership.com/what-is-beabove-leadership/the-seven-levels-of-effectiveness/)

Join us as we continue our conversation about entangled neural pathways and how this can limit our effectiveness. In this episode, we'll explore the pervasive impact of consensus reality and even how we become entangled with other on the quantum level. We'll go more in-depth to HOW you can help your clients (and yourself) dis-entangle. 

Part one of our exploration of neural entanglement. Due to a recording error this episode gets cut off midway through the recording. We apologize. Be sure to listen to Part Two for a more complete program.

Everybody knows that......you should not show emotions in a meeting. Everybody knows that.....you should look after your elderly parents. Everybody knows....... well, you name it. The shoulds, assumptions and expectations that create our consensus reality are examined and discussed in a light-hearted way in this thought-provoking episode.  We will aadd some neuroscience and consciousness aspects to the mix and this will be an episode you won't want to miss. Join Ann and Ursula for lively discussions and interesting conversation on the subject of neuroscience, consciousness and coaching.

Q and A

Hello fellow coaches! Would you like some targeted coaching advice based on neuroscience and consciousness? We are hosting our quarterly "Ask Ann and Ursula" show where you can submit challenging or confusing client scenarios and we'll do our best to roll out the neuroscience and perhaps point you in a helpful direction.  Because of confidentiality, we'd like you to submit questions via email to ann@beaboveleadership.com so we can make them somewhat generic (and so your voice is recognized). This is going to be a really fun and lively show with lots of advice and of course, lots of neuroscience!   

Why is it so hard to love ourselves, and what is possible when we truly do? In this episode, we will talk about the actual neuroscience behind self-love and how to overcome our own brain challenges that keep us from feeling more loving towards ourselves. We'll also look at how self-love links to higher levels of consciousness. You do NOT want to miss this one!

Curious about the original research on consciousness behind the Seven Levels of Effectiveness? We'll take a deep dive into our old friend David Hawkins' original resarch (as laid out in Power vs. Force and other books) and make the connections our own "ladder of consciousness." Along the way, we may visit Spiral Dynamics, Margaret Wheatley and Ken Wilbur as well! For all you consciousness geeks, this is your show!!

Hey fellow coaches! Would you like some targeted coaching advice based on neuroscience and consciousness?

Join us for an as-always lively discussion of coaching, consciousness and neuroscience. On this show, we'll talk about creating a resilient brain -- one that can easily recover from stress and disappointment. We'll explore the current research on stress and how consciously recovering from the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" may be one of the best ways to increase our overall level of effectiveness.  

"Hey, can you step in my office for a minute? I want to give you some feedback."  Words we all welcome, right? Um, not so much, usually. In fact, they send most of us into a mild (or worse) state of flight or flight, making it hard to listen and take in anything helpful. And yet, knowing our impact in the world is one of the ways we grow past our own blind spots and les effective habits. So how do we get better at giving and recieving feedback when the brain is programmed to, in the words of Monty Python "run away! run away!"?  Join us for a lively discussion about neuroscience, consciousness and feedback. We'll share what we are discovering from a brain and consciousness perspective -- and we may have as many questions about this tricky area as we have answers!  

This week we'll be talking about the way words can (and do) actually change our brain. For example, a recent study found that just seeing a list of negative words can make an anxious or depressed person feel worse. What's more, focusing on negative words and thoughts can actually damage important brain structures related to learning, memory and emotions. Conversely, focusing on positive words and thoughts (even illogical ones) builds positive brain structures.  Join us for a lively discussion of the impact of words on consciouness and the brain!   

Join us for a lively discussion of consciousness and the brain. What do we think is happening with our wiring and chemistry at different levels of effectiveness? What is the brain map for enlightenment? Please join us and bring all your questions and thoughts!

Our radio show is for all coaches and others in the personal and professional development area who are interested in neuroscience and the link between coaching and effectiveness. We covers a variety of topics - seen through the lense of neuroscience and consciousness and how it applies to coaching and leadership. Are you deeply curious about what really makes us tick? Why our clients get stuck in unhelpful patterns ? Are you interested in learning powerful, simple, brain-based tools to easily move your clients to new levels of effectiveness? Through our Seven Levels of Effectiveness, we provide a road map of human effectiveness which elegantly and clearly shows us not only where we are, but where we want to go to find that new level of thinking. The Seven Levels of Personal, Group and Organizational Effectiveness   7. Synchronicity— 6. Innovation— 5. Engagement— 4. Courage— 3. Frustration— 2. Fear—  

  Intuition has long been thought to be somewhat mysterious and undefine-able. But instead of thinking of intuition as a “thing” that some people have and others don’t, current scientific research points to the power of thinking of intuition as a system of interconnected aspects of our body, mind and brain, such as: o   The left hemisphere of the brain gathers domain-specific knowledge o   The right hemisphere of the brain connects to the body and receives info from the heart and gut o   The body “knows” through biochemical response to physical cues o   Our mirror neurons allow us to connect with people empathically

Join us in April for a look at creativity and inspiration. We'll focus on how we can activate our higher brain to tap into our own profound wisdom and awareness. Come ready to be inspired!     ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At BEabove Leadership, we help people understand that the most important thing is not what we DO, but who we ARE. Through our Seven Levels of Effectiveness, we provide a road map of human effectiveness which elegantly and clearly shows us not only where we are, but where we want to be. Our work is based in current research in both neuroscience and consciousness, presented in a way that is experiential, accessible and deeply practical.
