Tapping into Flow: The Path to Peak Performance (Eugene Choi)

Neuroscience of Coaching

Dive into the science behind flow with Dr. Eugene Choi as we explore the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. Learn how stress impacts decision-making, debunk hustle culture, and uncover the secrets to attaining flow for enhanced productivity, better creativity, and overall well-being.

In each episode of Neuroscience of Coaching, host Dr. Irena O’Brien explains the science-based insights behind a particular concept and interviews a coach to discuss how these apply in the real world. Just as she does in her professional programs, Irena “un-complicates” neuroscience and teaches practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that listeners can use in their coaching practices.

“Your subconscious brain processes information so much faster than your conscious brain.” — Eugene Choi
