Facts Don’t Change a Client's Mind: Working With Limiting Beliefs and Confirmation Bias

Executive coaching involves working with a leader's (limiting) belief system as well as their performance.  What happens when facts don't help to change a client's mind?  How can a leader make a shift to more effective performance when everything they observe seems to support their limiting beliefs?

After participating in this interactive session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the neuroscience-based concepts of limiting beliefs and confirmation bias
• Use one or more techniques to assist clients move past their limiting beliefs -- even when facts don't change a client's mind  

There WILL be time for Q&A with the presenter.
