As coaches, we are always creating awareness in our clients. While all the ICF Core Competencies are important, creating awareness is perhaps the most central competency to coaching. Our clients hire us because they want something to change, about themselves, their lives, their careers, their leadership, and/or their relationships. If they could change it themselves, they would. And often our clients can’t change what they are wanting to change because they can’t see what’s getting in their way. Our clients typically can’t see what’s getting in the way of their change. The obstacle to their growth is so ingrained, so conflated with the frame and lens through which they see others, themselves and the world, that they can’t see it. It’s in their blindspot. Here, we cover the neuroscience of blindspots - how are they formed? Where do they come from?

The Neuroscience of How We Become Divided
Healing the Divide is about reconnecting us to our divine essence. We reconnect to our essence when we begin to see the ways in which we separate ourselves from others through judgment and blame, anger and fear, abuse and neglect, and disconnection of all kinds. The ways in which we are separate from others mirror the ways in which we are divided and separate from ourselves and our essence. And, what may help in learning about the neuroscience of relationships at a deeper level; of how we become divided.

The document summarizes fetal development from weeks 1-8 of pregnancy. In week 1, pregnancy is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. In week 2, fertilization occurs in the fallopian tubes as the egg and sperm join. In week 3, the fertilized egg begins rapidly dividing and implants in the uterus. In weeks 4-5, the blastocyst attaches to the uterus and divides into the placenta and embryo, with major organs beginning to form. In weeks 6-7, the heart begins beating and arms and legs start to grow. In week 8, the embryo practices moving as muscles develop and facial features become visible.
The brain
The document discusses the main parts of the brain - the cerebellum, which controls motor activity and balance; the cerebrum, which controls muscle movement, balance and coordination and makes up 85% of the brain; the cortex, which covers the cerebrum and controls thinking, reasoning, judging and voluntary movement; and the brainstem, which controls respiration, pulse, sleep/wake cycles, concentration and attention, and consciousness. It also provides some fun facts about the brain, such as that the average brain weighs 3 lbs, skin weighs twice as much as the brain, the brain is 75% water, and is made up of 60% white matter and 40% grey matter.
Ppt how our mind works
The document discusses how the brain works, providing details about its structure and functions. It notes that the brain weighs around 3 pounds, is made up of 78% water, and is divided into left and right hemispheres that perform different roles. It controls vital body functions like temperature, breathing, movement, thinking and emotions. Specific areas of the brain are responsible for vision, hearing, language and planning/organizing. The frontal lobes help control emotions. In total, the brain is a highly complex organ that regulates all conscious and unconscious aspects of life through the central nervous system.
The mind part 1
The Brain ... the Mind ... how the Mind functions, how experiences are formed, why is my experience different from yours? Emotions are born from our interpretations not from our circumstances ... and more in this presentation (Part 1)
Annata on my Mind (Brain)
The biological evolution of awareness and the apparent self; what neuroscience tells us about the distributed and endlessly variable neural nature of the apparent self; the stress, suffering, and interpersonal difficulties that come from “excesses of self”; the importance of healthy self-compassion and self-advocacy; how to heal injuries to self-worth; methods for taking things less personally, relaxing possessiveness, and feeling more at one with all things.

Mind Brain and Thoughts
This document discusses the relationship between the mind and brain. It begins by questioning what thoughts are and notes that while we think continually, we don't fully understand thoughts. It then discusses how we can intervene in the world, body, and mind, with the mind being the domain we have the most influence over. The document goes on to provide information about brain basics like neuron structure and brain connectivity. It discusses how the mind and brain are interrelated systems and how both the brain and mind can influence each other through processes like neuroplasticity. The key points made are that as the brain changes, the mind changes; as the mind changes, the brain changes; and we can use our mind to intentionally change our brain for the better
Superhuman
This document provides background information on emotions, feelings, and moods. It discusses how the brain, nervous system, endocrine system, and other body systems interact to produce various emotional states. Emotions are defined as goal-oriented feelings directly regulated by the brain to achieve goals in interactions with the environment. Feelings are described as involuntary endocrine responses to stimuli that trigger changes in mood and emotion. Moods are influenced by hormones from the entire body and endocrine system and can dampen emotions and feelings over time. The document presents diagrams illustrating these concepts and the interrelationships between various biological and psychological factors that shape emotional experiences.

Peripheral Nervous System
The nervous system comprises the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system. The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord, which control the mind and behavior. The peripheral nervous system has two divisions - the autonomic nervous system which regulates involuntary functions, and the somatic nervous system which controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement. Neurons are the basic functional units of the nervous system, sending and receiving electrochemical signals that allow for sensory input, integration of information, and motor output.
-nervous-system-powerpoint_ver_4 (1).pptx
The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system processes information from the senses and controls and coordinates the body's activities, while the peripheral nervous system connects the central nervous system to the limbs and organs. Key components include neurons, which transmit signals; the brain, which controls the body's responses; and the spinal cord, which connects the brain to the rest of the body. The nervous system allows for voluntary and involuntary responses through reflex arcs that transmit signals from sensors to effectors.
CLASSIFICATION OF NERVOUS SYSTEM & COMPONENTS
he nervous system is a network of neurons whose main feature is to generate, modulate and transmit information between all the different parts of the human body. This property enables many important functions of the nervous system, such as regulation of vital body functions (heartbeat, breathing, digestion), sensation and body movements. Ultimately, the nervous system structures preside over everything that makes us human; our consciousness, cognition, behaviour and memories.
The nervous system consists of two divisions;
Central nervous system (CNS) is the integration and command center of the body
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) represents the conduit between the CNS and the body. It is further subdivided into the somatic nervous system (SNS) and the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Cells of the nervous system
Two basic types of cells are present in the nervous system;
Neurons
Glial cellsCells of the nervous system
Two basic types of cells are present in the nervous system;
Neurons
Glial cells
The site where an axon connects to another cell to pass the neural impulse is called a synapse. The synapse doesn't connect to the next cell directly. Instead, the impulse triggers the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters from the very end of an axon. These neurotransmitters bind to the effector cell’s membrane, causing biochemical events to occur within that cell according to the orders sent by the CNS.
There are two types of neurons, named according to whether they send an electrical signal towards or away from the CNS;
Efferent neurons (motor or descending) send neural impulses from the CNS to the peripheral tissues, instructing them how to function.
Afferent neurons (sensory or ascending) conduct impulses from the peripheral tissues to the CNS. These impulses contain sensory information, describing the tissue's environment.Glial cells

Neuroglia

Synonyms: Neuroglia
Glial cells, also called neuroglia or simply glia, are smaller non-excitatory cells that act to support neurons. They do not propagate action potentials. Instead, they myelinate neurons, maintain homeostatic balance, provide structural support, protection and nutrition for neurons throughout the nervous system.
This set of functions is provided for by four different types of glial cells;
Myelinating glia produce the axon-insulating myelin sheath. These are called oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS. Remember these easily with the mnemonic "COPS" (Central - Oligodendrocytes; Peripheral - Schwann)
Astrocytes (CNS) and satellite glial cells (PNS) both share the function of supporting and protecting neurons.
Other two glial cell types are found in CNS exclusively; microglia are the phagocytes of the CNS and ependymal cells which line the ventricular system of the CNS. The PNS doesn’t have a glial equivalent to microglia as the phagocytic role is performed by macrophages.
Natural Contentment And Brain Evolution - Rick Hanson, PhD
With the power of modern neuroscience, informed by ancient contemplative wisdom, you can use your mind alone to change your brain for the better. Self-directed neuroplasticity involves steadying the mind (key to both worldly success and spiritual practice), cooling the fires of stress reactivity, weaving positive experiences into the fabric of your brain and self, and taking life less personally.

Berger Ls 7e Ch 5
The document discusses physical, cognitive, and motor development in infants and toddlers over the first two years of life. It covers rapid growth and changes in body size, brain development including neuron and synapse formation, sleep patterns, sensory and motor development including reflexes and motor skills, and the role of nutrition and public health measures in child development.
Nervous system
The nervous system is the body's main communication system; it gathers, synthesizes, and uses data from the environment. The most basic unit of the nervous system is the neuron, which serves as both a sensor and communicator of internal and external stimuli.
Not-Self in the Brain - Rick Hanson, PhD
This document discusses the concept of "not-self" or anatta in Buddhism. It summarizes Bahiya's teaching that one should focus only on direct perceptions and experiences, without adding mental commentary or notions of self. When one sees only the seen, hears only the heard, and so on, there is no sense of self involved. This leads to the end of suffering, as clinging to notions of self is the root of suffering.
Biological Basis of Behavior
The document discusses the biological basis of behavior and the human brain. It covers several key points:
1. Heredity and evolution influence human physical and mental characteristics. The brain is programmed for language and social skills at birth.
2. The brain consists of three main layers - the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain. The hindbrain includes the medulla, cerebellum, and pons and controls vital functions like breathing.
3. The limbic system, which includes the amygdala and hippocampus, is responsible for emotions and forming memories. The amygdala handles emotional responses while the hippocampus aids memory formation.
10 NERVOUS SYSTEM.pptx
The nervous system monitors and controls organs through feedback loops. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is formed by neurons in the body and is divided into the somatic and autonomic systems. The brain's main communication is through the spinal cord, with nerves branching out to send and receive information. The brain can be divided into regions that have specific functions like thinking, movement, balance, and automatic bodily processes.
Brain
The document discusses the influence of the brain on human development and behavior. It notes that the human brain is larger and more developed than our ancestors, allowing for increased cognitive abilities. Key points include:
- The human brain continues developing into our 20s, influencing behaviors like risk-taking in adolescence.
- Brain development occurs in an underdeveloped state in humans, allowing us to adapt to various environments.
- The brain can be divided into the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, with the forebrain responsible for higher cognitive functions.
- The cerebrum is divided into left and right hemispheres that process information differently.
The Central Nervous System
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for receiving sensory information and coordinating voluntary motor responses throughout the body. The spinal cord serves as the communication link between the brain and body. Neurons are the basic functional units that transmit signals within the central nervous system and between the central and peripheral nervous systems. There are two types of neurons - sensory neurons that carry sensory information to the brain and motor neurons that carry signals from the brain to the body's muscles and glands. The central nervous system works with the peripheral nervous system to control bodily functions through the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
Neuroscience and meditation
1. The document discusses the relationship between neuroscience and meditation. It notes that meditation can help transform the brain and mind by changing neural pathways through focused attention on positive thoughts and experiences.
2. Various effects of meditation on the brain are proposed, including increased activity in the left frontal lobe and levels of serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine. These biochemical changes are associated with reduced stress and anxiety as well as increased calmness and well-being.
3. The document acknowledges some caveats, such as the risk of oversimplification and the need for clinical support in cases of underlying health conditions. Overall, it argues that traditional meditation practices can help alleviate suffering by cultivating wholesome mental states known to
Sensitivity and Coordination by Alex
The document summarizes the human sensory system. It describes the five senses and their corresponding sensory organs - eyes (sight), nose (smell), tongue (taste), ears (hearing), and skin (touch). It then explains how stimuli are received by receptors, transmitted as nerve impulses to the brain along sensory nerves, and how the brain coordinates muscular and glandular responses.
Central Nervous System.pptx
The document contains the opening and closing prayers for a science class, as well as the content that was covered during the class. The class covered the parts and functions of the nervous system, including:
- The central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord.
- The brain can be divided into sections like the brainstem, thalamus, cerebellum, and limbic system.
- The spinal cord acts as a connector between the brain and body and transmits sensory and motor signals.
- Damage to the spinal cord can result in loss of movement or sensation below the injury depending on its severity.
Interaction unit 1
The document discusses how the nervous system allows living things to interact with their surroundings. It describes the main organs that make up the nervous system - the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain receives information and sends messages to the body, while the spinal cord connects the brain to the rest of the body. Nerves connect the spinal cord to muscles, joints, and skin to transmit messages between the brain and body.
Layers and Lobes
The document summarizes the different layers of the brain from the brain stem up. It discusses how each layer develops and its main functions. The brain stem and midbrain develop first and are responsible for automatic functions like breathing and heart rate. The cerebellum develops next and controls movement coordination. The limbic system processes emotions. The cortex, which develops last, is responsible for higher level thinking. The cortex is divided into specialized lobes with different functions.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...

standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

The Neuroscience of Blindspots
- 2. We are born into a physical form, with brains that are wired to survive.
- 3. Because all our earliest experiences are mediated through our relationships …
- 4. We literally shape ourselves… To fit within our relationships
- 5. We shape ourselves (our brains) to fit… In ways we don’t know and can’t see
- 6. At Birth, Our Brains are Undeveloped and Open Source • At birth, only lower portions of the nervous system (spinal cord and brain stem) are well-developed • Responsible for vital bodily functions (breathing, heartbeat, circulation, sleeping, swallowing, sucking) • Higher regions (cerebellum, limbic system, cerebral cortex) are still primitive. • Brain develops bottom up, making it highly adaptable. Source: Psychological Wiki
- 7. Our Brains Are Shaped By Our Genes + Our Experiences • While our genes provide the blueprint, our environment, experiences and relationships carry out construction. • Neurons and synapses form the wiring of the brain. • Our environment, experiences and relationships strongly influence the synaptic “blooming and pruning” process.
- 9. Our Brains Store Experiences “We Know But Don’t Remember” • Limbic system processes and stores emotional experiences before we have language and memory skills to access them. • The memory we do have is “implicit memory” • Due to “Infantile Amnesia”, we have little explicit memory of our early shaping.
- 10. Our Memories Shape Our Experience Implicit Memories • Sensory, emotional, procedural memories and stimulus- response conditioning • Social memories - Attachment schemas • Habitual emotional responses to social situations Explicit Memories (form later) • Recognizing and remembering faces, etiquette, language, stories • Important for emotional regulation and identity
- 11. Our Implicit Memories Shape our relationship with self, others, the world …in ways we “know and don’t remember”
- 12. Our blindspots form… • From our need to survive within our relationships • From our needing to change to fit into our families • From our needing to protect our Real Self to extent our needs weren’t met
