Knowing how neurotransmitters work will help you as a coach and mentor to empower your clients in improving their overall mental health.
Neurotransmitters
Hormones1:59
Hormones are special chemical messengers in the body that are created in the endocrine glands.
Hormones are silent drivers of behaviour and personality. For the purpose of this course we will discuss epinephrine and oxytocin.
Hormones continued3:49
Explore how cortisol and oxytocin regulate stress responses, metabolism, inflammation, bonding, and workplace engagement via hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal systems.
Thoughts and Emotions3:31
Our emotions physically exist in the form of chemicals that are housed within an area of our brain called the deep limbic system. These chemicals that carry emotion are released through our thought life.
Thoughts

Description

In this course you will learn how powerful the brain really is. You will learn about the different neurotransmitters, hormones, neuroplasticity and habit forming. I will teach you how to use the knowledge of neuroscience to develop and empower yourself and others.

Learn to coach effectively and become a successful mentor. Understand what the roles of a coach and coachee are. I use the ICF (International Coaching Federation) as the foundation of the coach teaching that you will receive. The ICF is considered the gold standard in coaching globally.

You will learn about the role of a mentor and mentee. Mentors are not necessarily older people and both individuals learn from each other.

Coaching and mentoring and two different fields. Although many people use the terms interchangeably, they are not the same.

Explore coaching and mentoring models to use in sessions. Analyse, assess and plan to improve your own coaching and mentoring ability. Understand the brain and related neurotransmitters.

This course is designed for beginners or individuals who want to broaden their knowledge about neuroscience and practical fundamentals of coaching and mentoring.
