What is Executive Coaching?

Executive Coaching is a partnership between a coach and client that embraces a respectful commitment to engage in a creative, thought-provoking process that maximizes potential.

Extended Cognition

 I am perplexed with curiosity by spiders, especially when they’re weaving a web. Research questions the use of a web to a spider, considering web threads and configurations as integral parts of their cognitive system.

It is hypothesized that as the spider sits in its resting place the extended web environment becomes connected to its central nervous system and expands the cognitive awareness of their small brains. A spider senses the tugs and pulls of a potential food source and reacts accordingly.

While the discussion continues about its relationship to human cognition and neuroscience, I think about how leaders spin their cognitive web around their realm of control in organizations.

Understanding your environment, in the workplace, or in your life, sensing the tugs and pulls that spring you into action, this relates to coaching in every way. It’s metaphorical, of course, but I find it helpful when it comes to thinking in systems.

Stay tuned for my blog… “Extended Cognition”
