YOUR BRAIN AS AN ALLY TO REACH YOUR GOAL

We are often spinning plates labelled: ‘work’, ‘family’ ‘health’, ‘friends’, ‘money’, just managing to keep them from crashing. When we are under stress, our brain is not able to respond to its optimum – we are operating ‘below the line.’
 
Would you like to understand better what happens when under stress and train your brain to glide more serenely through life, operating ‘above the line’ more regularly?

In the Western world, we often rely solely on our rationality to make decisions, but there is so much more to explore! Spinning plates, stress and societal influences can impact our brain’s capacity and hinder our true potential. Rooted in neuroscience, transformative coaching and behavioral psychology we will explore the full potential of your brain. So, your mind can become a valuable ally in achieving a more integrated way of being and your goals!

In this workshop you will learn more about the immense power of your brain. You will know and experience how and when your brain is being used to the fullest and you will learn strategies to optimize the use of your brain. And when we talk about the brain we are not only talking about the head. Your nervous system goes beyond your shoulders! You will learn to understand the relationship between Mind, Body and Soul in a very practical way and how to use that effectively in your daily life. 

In this highly explorative and interactive workshop you will learn to recognize your default behavior, when your brain is not in balance (due to stress, beliefs, triggers from others, conditioning and more). Awareness creates choices and practice builds capacity so we will be doing both in this workshop! You will not only have a better understanding and awareness of the potential of your brain but also tangible actions and strategies to make different, more expansive choices in the future. You will be a better and more authentic leader for others and feeling more balanced and fulfilled yourself.
