Brain and Behavior
(what we do or say) are the same
thing
Among the most significant developments
of the twentieth century is the recognition that aspects of human
behavior and experience are actually functions of a material
structure, the nervous system. Nothing effects behavior directly
except for the brain. However, because we allow the environment to
affect the brain, our behavior can be indirectly affected by the
environment. The mind is also incorporated into the brain. Also
associated with the brain there is our "sense of
spirit" and "sense of humour" which affects how we
act.
Building
Strong Neural Pathways
-The brain’s untapped potential: our
mind’s ability to sculpt itself
Our mind is our cognitive reasoning, and the brain
is the biological entity which allows the mind to exist. To
execute a task, our brain first breaks it down
into its component parts with each part then
stored away. The parts are associated with each other by
our brain stringing together a line of neurons to form a
neural pathway (Conscious Incompetence). When we practice or
further learn something related to this area this neural
pathway grows larger as nearby neurons are recruited to
learn how to perform the task (Conscious Competence).
As we repeat and practice the task the connections
through the central core get stronger and the nearby neurons
return to their previous state. And as we physically perform the
activity the movements required then begin to become encoded
in the brain's motor cortex. Sports coaches refer
to this process as "muscle memory". For example;
the ability to perform a specific movement such as
catching a ball, without conscious thought. We now know
that the movements are actually encoded in the brain's motor
cortex.
The more you practice the task, the stronger the Neural
Pathway becomes and the greater your ability to perform
these motions using the non-conscious parts of your brain
(Non-Conscious Competence).

Rewiring Your Mind -is the key to true personal and
professional power
The above process where the brain physically reconfigures
itself in response to repetitive actions or stimuli is
called Hebbian Learning. We now know that our brains are not
“hard wired” from birth. New connections between
previously unconnected brain cells are formed each time we
learn a new skill or form a new association. As we learn new
skills, we really are physically “sculpting” our minds. This
brain transformation occurs because “cells that fire
together, wire together.”
Brain Training -Coaching WorkOuts
By engaging in targeted, structured coaching exercises we are all now
able to develop key cognitive skills to enhance our capacity
to succeed.
This remarkable power we all possess to transform our
brain has far-reaching implications in the workplace -including personal and professional
development and human
relationships.

Mind Training in the
Workplace
-Whether you are looking to increase
your mental strength and stamina or just sharpen your
mental edge...
The Mind WorkOut Coaching Program (developed
by Dr Skiffington -one of the world's sought-after Master Coach
Educators) isn't just the ultimate workout, it's the
ultimate professional transformation program. The unique Program
contains proven mental exercises that target and build the
required mental skills for any individual to jump way
beyond their current levels of performance and accomplishment.
This same revolutionary mind program that has changed the lives
of some of the world's leading business leaders is now
provided to graduates as a part of her Certified Master Coach
Course.
Dr Skiffington's Mind / Brain
Training Practices and Tools for qualified individuals
Dr Skiffington's Mind WorkOut Coaching Program is a systematic, mental activity program that
enhances cognitive fitness levels in all people. The program
emphasizes everyone's potential for self-improvement, based upon government
and independent scientific studies that prove that structured
mental stimulation is a key to professional success. The
coaching program provides a combination of practical
exercises and factual information to guide an individual through
a fun and enjoyable personal and professional development program. The core of the program
is a mental exercise "workout" regime similar in concept to a
physical workout. Its primary motivation is not just "Use
it or lose it!" but "Use it and improve it!"
In summary, what happens in your
brain while you're performing Dr Skiffington's Mind WorkOut
Coaching Exercises is that different, underused nerve pathways and
connections get activated. The result is the production of
strengthened nerve connections and nerve cell receivers
(dendrites) that stay younger and stronger. And the benefit of
that is a fit and flexible mind ready to meet any mental
challenge at work or play.
