Brain-based Coaching with Madelyn Griffith-Haynie
WELCOME!
I’m thrilled to see you are interested in exploring coaching — and particularly pleased that you are curious about coaching with me.
Brain-based coaching is a style that works with clients of all types: helping them identify stoppers, work through challenges, and develop brand new ways of working to optimize strengths as they learn How to drive the very brains they were born with.™
For those of you with lots of questions, I have put together a number of article links. Any combination of them will help you get a good idea of whether there is a FIT between what I do and what you need before we speak by phone.
- I have categorized them below, and given you a bit of an idea what you will find when you click the links (hover on the link before clicking for a bit more – a little box will pop up)
- NO – you don’t need to read them ALL before you call – or EVER –
this is a support structure, not a “should.”Pick a few that interest you; click around; get in touch as soon as you think you’re ready. (You know where to find these links if you ever decide you want them!)
- Make a short list of questions I can answer for you on our call
YES, the answers are probably contained below, but maybe not in the links you click.
Don’t agonize over it – I’ll be happy to answer your questions ANYWAY.
Your Next Step
NOW it’s time to set up a brief initial appointment to check out the fit “live,” calendar at the ready, prepared to set a regular, ongoing appointment — moving forward into a coaching relationship of one sort or another, if we agree on fit.

(sincere interest only please – spam filter in place!)

what I like to call “Brain Transplants” that can help you coach yourself,
if you read them and do the exercises suggested.
