Neuroplasticity
We have an unfathomable amount
(100 trillion +) of potential neural
connections in our brains. Every neuron can
connect to multiple other neurons.
Our potential may well be
unlimited.

➢ Neurons that fire together, wire together
➢ The more often we do something, the stronger the
neural pathway
➢We have well-developed neural pathways
designed to keep us safe
➢We can intentionally create and strengthen new
neural pathways (coaching is one way to do this)
“Neuroplasticity is a 6-syllable word for hope.” ~Dr.

#1. Tell them not to worry, not to think about it, not to feel stressed or
upset.
#2. Ask them how they are, REALLY. And then listen.
#3. Give them a sense of being in control in any way you can. Share
information, give them choices, etc.
#4. Help them connect to their personal values. And, if they are upset, find
out what value needs honoring.
#5. Help them find an empowering way to look at the issue. (Note: they
have to find for themselves, otherwise it’s #1.)
#6. Support activities around mindfulness. Create meditation space, bring
in lunchtime yoga, encourage breathing.
