David Rock: Unlocking Mysteries of the Brain

Many of us know how to drive a car.  We can get from place to place without knowing much about what's going on under the hood.

As coaches, however, our ability to help people get where they want to go benefits greatly from knowing more about what's under our client's "hood" -- their brain.  Recent discoveries about how our brains work can demystify why thinking can be such an effort, what conditions encourage insights and creativity, how emotions hi-jack our thinking, and what we can do to make better, smarter choices.

David Rock writes, speaks and teaches about the brain and its influence on performance.  This video highlights key points from his latest book Your Brain at Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long.  The video's a long one -- almost an hour -- but fast-moving and chock full of information.
