Joseph O'Connor 

Co-Founder, International Coaching Community

Coaching the Brain

Episode Summary

The co-founder of the International Coaching Community who has written nineteen books that have been published in 30 languages and have sold over half a million copies worldwide uses his new book to explain practical applications of neuroscience to coaching.

Bio

I worked as a classical guitarist, concert player and teacher when I left University, which gave me an interest in high performance and the 'Inner game'. I now work internationally as an executive coach and coach trainer. 

Together with my wife and partner, Andrea Lages, I founded the International Coaching Community (ICC) in 2001, one of the largest coaching organizations in the world with over 13,000 members in over 60 countries.

I have written nineteen books that have been published in 30 languages and have sold over half a million copies worldwide.

I am one of the few certified trainers in the world of deception detection and emotional intelligence approved by the Paul Ekman organization.

The latest book is 'Coaching the brain - practical applications of neuroscience to coaching'

I believe it is essential for coaches to know some neuroscience - how the brain actually works.

It is also fascinating how neuroscience is supporting some of the ideas and practices of spiritual traditions.
