Coaching versus Brain Untraining - What's the Difference?

As the Brain Untrainer, one question I am often asked what is the difference between coaching and brain untraining.

My name is Rik Schnabel and I’m the original Brain Untrainer. It’s what I do that’s unique and it’s what I teach to life coaches that gives them an edge.

DEFINITIONS:
Coaching refers to the process of working with a trained professional to enhance personal or professional skills, develop strategies for change, and achieve specific goals.

Brain untraining, on the other hand, involves a specialist who consciously rewires thought processes and neural pathways to eliminate negative beliefs, habits, and patterns.

BENEFITS:
The benefits of coaching come from the guidance and support you receive, and you are held accountable by your coach to do what you have said you will do.

The benefits of brain untraining are the help you get to overcome limiting beliefs, release emotional trauma, take the charge out of negative triggers, and cultivate a positive mindset. In a nutshell, it’s removing all the stuck points that stop you from taking the action you need, to create the life you want. It’s metacognition work; changing the thinking that causes the thinking.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE:
Coaching often involves goal-setting, action planning, and accountability. But coaches ask questions and are dissuaded to give advice.

Whereas brain untraining is a blend of coaching, mentoring and therapy. It focuses more on what is stopping you from getting the result you want.

It’s introspective work, self-reflection and reprogramming the subconscious mind. To put this in perspective, I liken it to a computer.

Coaching is where two people are working to put a document together while Brain Untraining is like upgrading your brain’s software to allow you to do more with less effort.

THE DRAWBACKS:
Coaching may sometimes focus more on external goals and performance, while brain untraining may require deep inner work and emotional healing.
But here is where Brain Untraining has a clear advantage.

While coaching is based on the principles of self-determination theory, it recognizes the importance of both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation in driving behavioral change. In other words, all actions toward a result require self-motivation.

Coaching fails to produce a result when the client’s motivation declines.

Unless your coach includes the tools of Neuro Linguistic Programming or Brain Untraining. A coach often struggles to help you with your anxiety or fear or doubt or trauma that leads you to non-action. If they can’t stop you from stopping yourself, the game is over before it’s even begun.

Think of it this way. If I put this in a formula, all achievement is a simple formula.

Decide what you want
+ Find someone who has achieved it
+ Model their strategy = Achievement.

But what happens when you are anxious about one or more of the tasks in the strategy?

What happens when doubt or fear stops you from starting?

What do you do when you’re uncertain about what to do or you’re worried about the risks?

How do you approach a task in the strategy when the stakes are just too high or you’re nervous about what people will say?

The answer to all of these questions is not coaching. It’s brain untraining.
Brain untraining focuses more on rewiring thought processes and neural pathways to effect behavioral change.

Because I teach coaches how to coach and I use the tools of coaching, people think coaching solves all problems, but it doesn’t. That’s why I give our coaches and our coaching students the edge, by showing them how to untrain the brain.
