Coaching physically reshapes your brain by forming new neural pathways, which changes behavior and motivation. When coaches understand the neuroscience behind these changes, they can use that knowledge to make coaching more effective.
One of the most fascinating things to witness as a coach is when you coach someone for a while, you actually start seeing how you're changing their brain. The creation of new neuropathways in someone's brain changes their behavior, changes their intrinsic motivation, changes everything about them. That's the why. When you can understand what's happening in someone's brain when you coach them, what's happening in your brain when you coach them, you can really leverage that, that understanding of neuroscience. It's a powerful thing.
