Those who haven't read and practiced the ideas presented in the book 📖 by world-renowned author Stephen R. Covey. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Covey ), as if he/she/it wasn't even there. #projecoach

A highly suitable book for everyone. I have discovered that it is also very popular in the field frequented by programmers, analysts, development team leaders, etc. I was personally surprised by how some start-up companies are guided by it. And what are these habits that it discusses? 😃

1. Habit: Be proactive,

2. Habit: Begin with the end in mind,

3. Habit: Prioritize important things,

4. Habit: Think win/win,

5. Habit: Seek first to understand then to be understood,

6. Habit: Create synergy,

7. Habit: Sharpen the saw.

III. Book: Neuroscience for Coaches: How to Use the Latest Insights for the Benefit of Your Clients

One of the really good 📖 books that I highly recommend for reading. The topic of neuroscience for coaches was tackled by the young author Amy Brann, http://www.amybrann.com/. Amy initially devoted herself to medicine and then spent time educating business teams, while simultaneously coaching, which she applied based on neuroscience. #projecoach

By the way, I did not find any evidence of formal education in coaching or affiliation with any organization, so I believe she bases her approach on the science as she learned it at the university.

What makes the book exceptional?

1. It is clearly structured 👍

2. It describes the current knowledge of the brain, compares current scientific work 👍

3. Each chapter is related to coaching - there is not a deep discussion, but lots of practical advice.👍

4. The book is concise 👍

What is the content? ❓

1. PART ONE Brain areas

2. PART TWO Brain chemicals

3. PART THREE Foundational brain concepts

4. PART FOUR Brain networks

5. PART FIVE The quantum brain

6. PART SIX Neuroscience of classic coaching area

7. PART SEVEN Neuroscience of not-so-classic coaching areas

For interest, what does the chapter structure look like?

For example: False memory:

• What is it?

• Why is it important for coaches?

• What is the underpinning neuroscience?

• What are any interesting studies in this area?

• What can I do with a client this afternoon?
