How Your Brain Shapes the Way You Lead:

My new book – filled with neuroscience backed insights and practical ideas.

What for you makes leading tough?

Take a situation that causes you to feel overwhelm, fear or dread and as a result. For example, you avoid a decision or make one hastily.
What you have done is to act authentically with your feelings; yet sometimes those feelings can mislead you.

What can be unconsciously hindering you?

The Authentic Leader: a guide to knowing yourself and being courageous. It gives you an opportunity be more cognitive and conscious of the (often unconscious) emotions, beliefs and values that steer how you navigate the world.

With guided reflection opportunities to adjust, update, or correct your brains processing (and its resulting habits). With the authors personal examples and those from decades of experience coaching leaders. You’ll also find models, frameworks and questions to reflect on.

Create changes in how you lead (yourself and your team) that will enhance your authenticity, courage, compassion and leadership impact.

Who can benefit from this read?

Aimed at newer leaders, to enable lifetime leadership awareness. Also, for those leaders who have been around longer that want to review and reconnect with their unconscious self. To check or adapt some habitual ways of thinking and feeling.

A readers feedback

‘An engaging read – unique blend of pragmatic, scientific and interactive – and a surprising page-turner.’ Eleanor Towsey, director

Forward from Dr Sarah McKay, Neuroscientist

If this resonates with you, I’d love you to take a look — and I hope it offers something useful for you and your teams leadership experience.

Available on Amazon, I welcome your genuine reviews.

Are You Being Smart or Wise?

Putting neuroscience into leadership

As a coach certified in applied neuroscience, I read many articles* and studies from both the leadership and neuroscience world.  A recent one included this quote:

‘Smart talks. Wisdom listens.  Smart always has answers. Wisdom tries hard to understand questions’ 

Harvey Max Chochino, Canadian Psychiatrist.

The reflections this raised

Reviewing how wise I have been in my work and life, as a way to reflect on another week, especially in terms of ‘wisdom listens’.  Deep listening being a skill that coaches work hard to build and strengthen.

  • How wise have I been, generally?
  • How often have I listened to myself?
  • How well have I consistently listened deeply during coaching sessions?
  • When have I been ‘smart’?  Was there more to be understood first?
  • What caused me to go for the ‘smart’ option?
  • How can I focus on being wise more often?

Coaching can help you find wisdom in the moments you most need it.
