Brendon Breen
Brendon's journey into coaching originally started in the sports arena with a focus on developing decision makers. To develop decision makers, it was important to have the emphasis on mediating the players' thinking in practice situations so that they could adjust in the moment during performances. What drew Brendon to Cognitive Coaching in 2012 was the identity aspect of mediating thinking. Brendon has explored many aspects of coaching in the sporting, business and education domains ever since which has resulted in a greater appreciation for a Cognitive Coaching approach. Over the past two years, he has taken a particular interest in both the listening as well as the non-verbal components of coaching. Particularly the works of Michael Grinder and Oscar Trimboli.
