Do you believe that your EXPERTISE is one of the most important aspects of helping others change and learn?
You might think that without it, people won’t listen to what you have to say, and you won’t get a chance to have the impact you’d like to have…
There is a degree of truth to this.. Without having some knowledge or experience about a topic, you'll have a hard time coming across as fluent and confident in what you are proposing.
HOWEVER…
No matter how much expertise you have, people will NOT RESONATE WITH YOU to a level that really allows you to spark insights and transformation if you don’t introduce something else into the equation.
That something else is YOUR belief in THEIR ability to change.
This may sound obvious. And you may be thinking that OF COURSE you believe in their ability to change.. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be trying to have some sort of influence.
But while many people THINK they believe this, there may be a subconscious part of you that may not truly and deeply believe this.
OR.. you may truly believe in their capacity to evolve, but you have a hard time getting the right words across to that person to help THEM believe it.
This is where the science of neuroplasticity comes in.
By now you’ve likely heard of neuroplasticity. It’s the brain’s ability to re-wire and re-route activity that enables it to change how it functions and performs.
But what’s missing from many explanations about neuroplasticity is the EMBODIED, SOCIAL Experience of how our brains actually change and evolve.
Your brain is NOT AN ISOLATED ENTITY.
It is embodied. And it is socially constructed.
This is one of the first pillars I help clients integrate into their teachings and content: embodied, social and interconnected systems to help them TRULY understand how the mind-brain-body system evolves, changes.. and why it often stays STUCK.
Getting to the ROOT MECHANICS of why our brains operate the way they do and what motivates us - neurochemically, viscerally, experientially - can inspire profound new ideas and approaches to sparking change.
That unshakeable KNOWING - grounded in the MECHANICS OF LIFE - helps us and others KNOW without a doubt that change is possible.
