Can organisational neuroscience inform the practice of coaching psychology and team coaching psychology?

Abstract

This paper considers if organisational neuroscience can inform coaching psychology and more specifically, team coaching psychology practice. Definitions of neuroscience, organisational neuroscience, coaching psychology and team coaching psychology are provided. The paper concludes that further research is needed.

Keywords: Neuroscience, organisational neuroscience, coaching psychology, team coaching psychology, coaching

Enhancing the dialogue between the fields of neuroscience and coaching psychology

Perspectives and challenges for the study of brain responses to coaching: Enhancing the dialogue between the fields of neuroscience and coaching psychology

Article: The interest in coaching psychology and neuroscience have been steadily increasing over the past 15 years. However, the two fields have not yet established consistent dialogues underpinned by experimental research. This paper highlights the importance of such dialogue for the growth of evidence-based coaching and how coaching psychology could benefit from previous neuroimaging and electroencephalographic studies in the field of psychotherapy and task-specific brain functioning to design research protocols that could significantly contribute to our understanding of how coaching works at the brain level and how coachees could best achieve results.

 



Neuroscience organisations

Neuroscience organisations

British Neuroscience Association                                                                                                BNA-logo-blue-white

The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is the largest UK organisation representing all aspects of neuroscience.

The Aims of the BNA are to:

  • promote neuroscience research
  • organise lectures, symposia, meetings, events and reports
  • advise on issues in neuroscience
  • engage with the public and the media
  • train neuroscientists and other neuroscience-related professionals
  • represent UK neuroscience to Government, funding agencies, and science administration, regulation and standards organisations.

The BNA is a growing learned society with around 1700 members. There are many benefits of membership, including free or discounted registration for events, discounted journals and books, the BNA Journal and many other offers.

Federation of European Neuroscience Societies

Founded in 1998 at the first Forum of European Neuroscience, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) is the main organisation for neuroscience in Europe. FENS currently represents 43 European national and single discipline neuroscience societies with close to 23,000 member scientists from 33 European countries.
FENS promotes neuroscience research to policy-makers, funding bodies and the general public, both regionally and internationally.

Society for Neuroscience

The Society for Neuroscience is the world’s largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system. The nonprofit organization, founded in 1969, now has nearly 38,000 members in more than 90 countries and over 130 chapters worldwide.

 



Credibility in Neuroscience webinar on reporting

Credibility in Neuroscience webinar on reporting

This webinar was broadcast on 19 August 2020 as part of the British Neuroscience Association’s (BNA) work to ensure that neuroscience research is as robust, reliable, replicable, and reproducible as possible – increasing credibility in neuroscience.

Find out how we can take steps to improve the credibility of how neuroscience research is reported by using some of the new innovative ways to do this.

Mental health: What presents has neuroscience left under the Christmas tree?

Mental health: What presents has neuroscience left under the Christmas tree?
12th December – KCL, London

The burden of mental health disorders continues to grow with a huge impact on individuals, families, and healthcare provision. This year’s British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Christmas Symposium, held at London’s KCL, will bring together leading researchers to describe what neuroscience has contributed to the diagnosis, management and treatment of mental health disorders.

Scottish TSE Network (STN) will host their annual one-day international symposium

Neurodegeneration & The 3Rs: Models, Mechanisms & Resources.

Edinburgh, 6th December, 2016 

The Scottish TSE Network (STN) will host their annual one-day international symposium at the Roslin Institute (Edinburgh, UK) on state of the art approaches to studying neurodegenerative diseases that are consistent with the 3R principles (replacement, refinement, reduction) of animals in research.

Topics will include cell-free protein misfolding assays, human stem cell-based approaches and transgenic C. elegans and Drosophila models, in addition to the opportunities offered by tissue banking and in silico analysis.

Neuroscience of Happiness

Neuroscience of Happiness

Is happiness a skill? Modern neuroscientific research and the wisdom of ancient contemplative traditions converge in suggesting that happiness is the product of skills that can be enhanced through training and such training exemplifies how transforming the mind can change the brain. Kent Berridge, Richie Davidson, and Daniel Gilbert speak at the Aspen Ideas Festival.
