Sweet Dreams Coming to Fruition: mBit Coaching Here I Come!

This coming Sunday, acting on a dream seed planted late last year, I'll be hopping on a plane and flying off to Canada to become one of the first mBIT (multiple brain integration technique) Coaches to be certified in North America.  In fact, I might be the first in California - I'll find out when I get there and meet my fellow classmates.

I ran across mBraining at the start of this year while researching the internet for info on the role that trusting one's gut plays in being an effective leader.  I found a lot of info out there that did not resonate.  I found leaders - many of them men - downplaying the role of gut instinct in the work place.

Luckily - rather than giving up (or in) to that info - I followed my gut instinct and kept researching until I ran across a blog post written by a consultant in San Francisco (sure do wish I remembered their name) who had a more openminded view of the topic.  A few people had commented on his post, and at the very end was a comment written by either Marvin Oka or Grant Soosalu suggesting the blogger check out their book mBraining:  Using Your Multiple Brains to do Cool Stuff.  I followed the link they offered (you should too!) and the rest, as they say, is herstory.  (sorry - couldn't help myself!) 

mBraining is based on the latest neuroscience findings about your head, heart and gut brains and "what they have to offer to increase your intuitive abilities and immediately generate wiser decision-making in your daily life."  Something all leaders guiding an organization, group, or project, or any person for that matter, would benefit from tapping into!

In the certification course, I'll be learning practical techniques to help my clients communicate with, and tap into, the innate intelligence of their three brains (three for now - with more to come as the science is found to back it).  I'll be helping them align their head, heart, and gut brains - so that the actions they take, the decisions they make, and the way they are is based on an authentic sustainable integration of the highest expression of competency / wisdom their three brains have to offer:  Creativity (head), Compassion (heart) and Courage (gut).

Just as an example - a leader who designs corporate values using only their "head" - and not their "heart" - will most likely create values that instill little passion in others to follow.  Not so great, eh? Or motivating others to action will work better if the gut brain is engaged when planning those actions.

As you can see - I'm still working on finding the words to communicate about mBraining and what I know deep down inside (my gut? my heart?) is going to be a tool of great value and impact to share and use with my clients. 

Exploring our recently remodeled bathroom

Just like Sunny above, I'll be exploring new terrain when I set out for that class on Sunday.  It feels a little risky, a little scary at times.  What if this isn't as profound of a tool as I think it will be?  Or worse, what if I don't "get it"?  All that investment of time, excitement, energy and money for nothing.  But I've read the book and know enough now to know that that's just my gut brain talking - out of congruence and alignment with my heart and head.  When I bring all my brains into the conversation (using techniques from the book) it becomes a no brainer.  =))  Seriously.  Anxieties and concerns fade - replaced instead by a delicious sense of anticipation, adventure and deep knowing.  I'm left only with mild concerns about how my back with it's bulging disc will hold up - and trust that that too - by employing all three brains on that topic - will work out just fine.

I really can't wait to see how this training and certification will inform my business 2.0 remodeling efforts when I get back.  New programs and service offerings? Meeting and collaborating with new business tribe members? New language for all sorts of things - marketing included?  A new and wiser me?  ;-)

Stay tuned!

Keep dreaming YOUR sweet dreams...into reality too!
