Dr. Tammy Lenski of making mediation your day job recently posted an interview of my friend and colleague Cinnie Noble. The entire interview is worth reading but I wanted to highlight one part for readers of this blog. Cinnie says:
I love that all that I do. I feel quite fortunate that I have found work that is so fulfilling. I have always loved being in the ADR field and have found that conflict coaching is the most rewarding of all the areas I practice. I also love that I discovered that my conflict coaching model is grounded in neuroscience principles. I developed it mostly through research, as mentioned. That involved experimenting with a number of study groups over a few years and as it evolved it seemed to be a practice without a specific theory! The more I learned about how the brain functions, I discovered how the model is grounded in neuroscience principles and that helped explain more about why the model works so well. This has been both fascinating and legitimizing for me.
I was fortunate to spend some time with Cinnie last month at the NeuroLeadership Summit at UCLA. It is fun to talk with members of this stimulating group of people applying neuroscience to their particular niche of conflict resolution.
