Our brains
have only two
states,
said Dan Siegel, M.D.
last weekend
at the Harvard Coaching Conference.
Receptive
and
Reactive.
When in receptive mode,
our physiology is relaxed.
We innovate and create,
collaborate
and problem solve.
In reactive mode,
we are not open
to learning
or empathy
or flexibility.
Instead,
we want to
fight
take flight
or freeze.
We can
train our brains
to
stay centered
and in receptive mode,
Daniel Goleman said,
and life
is the practice.
What are some techniques for staying centered? Stay tuned for more good stuff from the Harvard Coaching Conference. If you’ve coached with me or heard me speak, you know that a centering practice doesn’t have to include meditation (although it can).
