EP035: Neuroscience in Group and Team Coaching: From Safety to Sticky Learning

Coaching Many

What actually makes change stick in group and team coaching?

In this conversation, we unpack the neuroscience behind trust, safety, and connection—and how these foundations translate into memorable, high-impact learning. We explore attention and motivation, cognitive load, and why “sticky factor” matters in today’s fast-moving context. Jennifer shares insights from years of research and practice (including her N-LEA course—Neuroscience, Learning & Experiential Approaches), while Evana brings a practitioner lens on creating containers where participants feel seen, heard, and validated—so transformation can unfold.

This episode offers key insights into:

• Trust, safety & connection as the neuro-foundations of impact
• Attention, motivation & retention: designing for “sticky” learning
• Embodiment/somatics: supporting presence, calm & choice under change
• Group synchrony & social contagion: harnessing the wave, avoiding drift
• Bridging theory→practice: simple moves coaches can use tomorrow
• N-LEA's frame: neuroscience + learning science + experiential methods

Tune in to clarify the science beneath your practice—and leave with concrete ways to make your sessions safer, more memorable, and more transformative.
