Softness

Threat Response

• Unfairness

• Lack of control

• Confidence being challenged

• Uncertainty

What activates the Threat Response?

Page 12: Neuroscience for Coaches CPD Content€¦ · • Physical contact (Hug, handshake, massage) Verbal massage • Give people your full attention (and be empathetic) • Metta meditation

Threat response

• Decreased immunity• Impairs learning• Affects memory

Cortisol release

Impairs: • Creative insight• Analytic thinking• Problem solving

Amygdala -> ACC -> Frontal lobes

Decreased efficiency, effectiveness, productivity

Uses up Oxygen & Glucose

Decreases working memory capacity

Reward ResponseWhat activates the Reward Response?

• Celebration

• Control

• Confidence

• Certainty

• Contribution

• Connection

Page 14: Neuroscience for Coaches CPD Content€¦ · • Physical contact (Hug, handshake, massage) Verbal massage • Give people your full attention (and be empathetic) • Metta meditation

Reward response

Engagement •Do difficult things• Take risks• Think deeply

Dopamine release

Links to positive emotions:

• Happiness• Joy• Desire

VTA + NA + Reward network

Focus, attention, reinforcing behaviour, increase productivity

Perceive more options when problem

solving

Reward ResponseWhy is it brilliant?

• Reinforces behaviour • Increases absorption

• Increases processing capacity

• Helps memories form

Threat vs Reward

Page 17: Neuroscience for Coaches CPD Content€¦ · • Physical contact (Hug, handshake, massage) Verbal massage • Give people your full attention (and be empathetic) • Metta meditation

Neuroscience of Flow

Needed for flow: 1. Intensely focused attention2. Clear goals3. Immediate feedback4. Challenge / skills ratio5. Sense of control6. Rich environment

•An intense and focused concentration on the present moment

•The merging of actions and awareness

•A loss of reflective self-consciousness

•A sense of personal control over the situation

•Temporal distortion (normally time slowing down)

•The experience is intrinsically rewarding.

Decision Making

The somatic marker hypothesis proposes that decision-making is a process that depends on emotion and that both the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex are parts of a neural circuit critical for judgment and decision making.

Behaviour Change Checklist

PROCESS  FROM  BEHAVIOURAL  SC IENCE YOUR  THOUGHTS

What  is  happening  now?  

Who  do  you  want  to  do  what?  

What  is  everyone  else  doing?  (what  is  the  norm?)

How  are  they  currently  being  rewarded  for  the  current  behaviour?    

How  are  they  currently  being  deterred  from  the  desirable  

behaviour?  

Who  is  the  best  person  to  deliver  any  message?  

What  could  be  made  more  salient  in  their  environment?  

How  could  people  make  commitments  to  the  new  behaviour?  

How  could  the  new  behaviour  have  a  posiOve  effect  on  their  ego?
