Through her years of coaching, Kelsey understands that the power of coaching is in the relationship, not the coach. Coaching provides an invaluable space for development. Taking a class may teach you a certain skill but the person is left to figure out how to make the change. Very typically the change is not sustained because the core internal behavior and thought processes remain. Using Neuro based coaching she helps her clients build crucial connections and new neuropathways. This is often where coaching is most effective. By focusing attention on and repeatedly practicing new, desirable behaviors clients redirect their brains' chemical, hormonal, and physical resources to create new pathways. The old ones, meanwhile, wither from lack of use.
