Eurekalert: Coaching with compassion can ‘light up’ human thoughts.

“Boyatzis, a faculty member at Weatherhead School of Management, and Jack, director of the university’s Brain, Mind and Consciousness Lab, say coaches should seek to arouse a Positive Emotional Attractor (PEA), which causes positive emotion and arouses neuroendocrine systems that stimulate better cognitive functioning and increased perceptual accuracy and openness in the person being coached, taught or advised. Emphasizing weaknesses, flaws, or other shortcomings, or even trying to ‘fix’ the problem for the coached person, has an opposite effect.” I have no opinion on this, just thought I’d link it for @TheRedElm‘s attention.
