Gratitude
Although the neuroscience literature hasn’t yet
mapped the brain regions activated in a state of
gratitude, we’ve no doubt that a brain state for
gratitude exists. This is where coaches want to
shift at the end of the coaching session, as we
harvest with our clients what we’ve learned and
appreciate what went well. Generating gratitude—
and modeling this for our clients—is a perfect
brain state for a session close as well as a daily
intervention for well-being.
Now the coaching session has ended. You were
intentional and purposeful in your selection of
brain states, taking your client with you to the
deepest places of undivided attention. You were
agile, shifting fluidly among many brain states
throughout the session. And diversity abounded,
as you used the brain states we describe here
and likely more. Your client was uplifted by your
organized mind, and committed to organizing his
mind for the next steps in his journey
of change.
