RESOLVE: A Neuroscience Based Model of Coaching

A 2 day Training with Dr Richard Bolstad

Prerequisite: Coaching or NLP training is recommended.

What Will The Training Give You?

This two day training is designed for coaches who want to access the power of Neuroscience to help clients get real results. It will present Richard Bolstad’s RESOLVE model, developed based on his work with corporate clients, sportspeople, and those recovering from major community trauma such as war and earthquakes. The training will introduce you to the neurological basis of change as presented in Richard’s books such as “RESOLVE: A New Model of Therapy”. Understand what happens when someone seems unable to change, and learn how to help them “reset” their brain for success. Recognize when brain areas are over-activated by stress and learn how to re-establish focus and energy. Understand how coaching works in the brain, and how to explain it to others in scientific terms.

What will you learn?

  • Keep up to date with the latest models of brain science and their astonishing implications for coaching success.
  • Use the “RESOLVE” road map to keep you on track in coaching and psychotherapy sessions.
  • Get clear guidelines for your work with even the most challenging clients using techniques that actually synchronize your brain and theirs to help them engage with the coaching process.
  • Immediately identify which coaching techniques will work best with which clients, based on how they use their brain.
  • Understand and change your own thinking and emotion patterns using these neuroscience based models.
  • Integrate researched techniques from the fields of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) into conversational coaching practice.
  • Come out of this weekend with specific new skills that you can use with your clients to make the difference in their results.

  • “From the perspective of someone who is a teacher of neuroscience the contents of Richard’s trainings fitted very well. This course alone is worth more than a million yen!” – Nishi Takeyuki (西 剛志) Medical Neuroscience Teacher, Molecular Biologist, Tokyo, Japan
  • “Richard Bolstad is one of the finest NLP trainers I know. The book RESOLVE: A New Model of Therapy is an excellent introduction to his work.” – Steve Andreas, NLP trainer, author, and co-developer.
  • “RESOLVE is a book that will leave you with a broader and deeper knowledge of NLP and therapy whether you are already familiar with the field or not. Although it is not written as an introduction to NLP, it is a good one in its own right.” – From the Introduction by Joseph O’Connor, author of Coaching the Brain and founder of ICC.
  • “If you have ever asked, “Where’s the research documentation for NLP?” you have to read RESOLVE.” – L. Michael Hall, NLP Trainer and Developer of the Meta-Coach System®.
