THE
NEURO TOOL

Human behaviour -based on the habits of doing, thinking and feeling- is determined by its strongest neuronal connections; which are the ones that -according to Hebb’s Law- are reinforced by constant repetition. This is why we speak of neurobehaviours

NeuroQuotient identifies those brain subsystems and its neural centres and neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, noradrenaline, etc.) that are most influent in behaviour and results.

The initial purposes of leadership coaching usually involve carrying on a project, improving communication, motivating co-workers, etc.

Eventually, individuals understand that their priority need is related to stress management, aggressiveness control, increasing focus spans, improving socialization skills, etc…

The first step is always the self–leadership development: Knowing oneself and improving the self-management. NeuroQuotient®  connects neuroscience and Emotional Intelligence.

The client has on many occasions a clear intention of improving. But where to begin and how?

The results of  the neuro coaching tool, NeuroQuotient®, graphically represent the individual’s efficiencies (leverage of the brain resources) and limitations, in both their current and desired states.

Comparing both states, it is easy to understand where the development priorities are; to achieve an important improvement in results.

The NeuroQuotient® indexes help determining the achieved point of progression during the self-leadership coaching process. This is why it stands out from all other coaching tools.

They are not absolute values in terms of neuronal intelligence, but they come out as very useful indicators to check on the progression of individuals.

They are also sensitive enough to measure evolution in a reasonable span of time.

Clients feel very much identified in their neurobehaviours with the results of NeuroQuotient®. This generates a strong bond of trust towards the professional who transmits the results.

To prove its validity this neuro coaching tool has been compared to Dr Robert Cloninger’s psychobiology model Temperament and Character Inventory, using all its subscales.

The research also demonstrated the differentiating attributes of NeuroQuotient®.

The NQ index correlates to the Self Directedness scale, meaning that it is a measure of the self-leadership development.

NeuroQuotient® also contributes to the development strategies with a new idea: to decrease a limitation it is convenient to do it from another dimension’s efficiency.

Using the efficiency on the same level implies a risk of increasing its opposed limitation. For example, we might intend to diminish stress by taking advantage of the ability of planning the future… and that leads us to the absolute opposite.

Limitations are related to poor emotional management. The correlation between neuroscience and emotional intelligence is an important factor.

NeuroQuotient® is not based on a personality model! It is all about adjusting behaviour to improve results, it is not about changing the personality! This is a key difference compared to other coaching tools.
