Harnessing Self-Acceptance (Matthew Kimberley)

Neuroscience of Coaching

Welcome to Neuroscience of Coaching. In each episode, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.

Matthew Kimberley is an author, international speaker, and the COW (Chief Owner Wrangler) at Delightful Business.

“Hearing how self-esteem is directly linked to brain chemistry is somewhat relieving. Because the very essence of self-esteem is we ask what is wrong with me? Why am I not enough?” — Matthew Kimberley
