This is a meaty module. Give yourself some time to absorb the chapters and think them through. The purpose of this chapter is to help you learn some basics about the brain. This will help you know more about your tools so you can tell your clients how they work – from a brain perspective. This is often quite useful, especially for logical clients. If they know that your questions or tools are brain-based, many will be much more likely to go with you.

Exercises
- Think of a coaching tool or approach you use regularly. See if you can identify what is going on in the brain with that tool as if you were explaining that to a client – keep it short.
- Apply neuroscience principles to your own daily life – what habits do you generally follow? How do you manage your brain’s energy?
- Practise talking about neuroscience concepts so you can explain them easily
