 Overview
Lind & Kyle’s Brain-Mind
Development Programs are for individual executives and executive teams.
Each program uses advanced brain-mind research, technologies and
uniquely designed practices to take an executive to higher levels of
job performance, decision-making, personal balance and creativity.
Wilder Penfield, the great brain
surgeon and researcher, offered a distinction between the brain and the
mind. Penfield concluded that the mind and brain are separate entities;
that the mind perceives the brain’s perceptual functions but is not the
result of those functions… that the mind “runs” and in turn draws its
sustenance from the brain.
All individuals who engage in any
Brain-Mind Development Program is given a brain-wave diagnostic
analysis to determine their current and potential brain-mind awareness
and focus. Receiving a computer generated visual feedback of one’s own
brain pattern, and given the understanding, tools and techniques of how
to develop or alter those patterns and configurations gives a
motivation to increase one’s optimal brain-mind development.
The understanding coming from
neuroscience (which is the study of the brain) along with the applied
work in biofeedback and neuro-feedback (methods to stimulate change in
the brain-mind functioning) has provided understanding and tools that
can literally increase the capacity of our brain-mind (our biology and
psychology) to work in greater harmony and increase levels of
performance and personal well being that will change the way a person
lives and works.
The exciting results of the new
brain-mind research demonstrate that because of the neuro-plasicity of
the brain, old brain-mind patterns can and will change. Through the use
of bio and neuro feedback tools one can change the neuronal pathways of
the brain through conscious attention. Lind & Kyle consultants use
newly developed equipment and software like the Brain Mirror™, Mind
Alive™ and HeartMath® technologies to help individuals to learn to
clarify thinking flow patterns, alter the configurations of the four
brain wave patterns and develop one’s own unique optimal brain-mind
functioning.
 Mastering the Mind
The Challenge
Every day an executive is challenged by how to out-think the
competition, how to meet the customer need, how to have the right
product or service, how to envision the future, how to solve thorny
problems, how to deal with interpersonal and intra-functional
conflicts, how to handle one’s own emotions and how to juggle the daily
pressure and stress of constant demands for one’s time and attention.
Where an individual turns to deal with the “work” of being a leader, a
manager and a developer of people and organizations is within one’s own
mind.
Knowing how to access all levels of the
four brain wave states gives executives greater potential to experience
their unique pathway to deal with the complexities of their role as
well as the personal challenges it causes in their relationships and
general life conditions.
Process
With the use of neuro-diagnostic equipment to evaluate brain wave
patterns and by using entrainment equipment to change or enhance the
patterns, the individual in this program learns a unique process to
maximize his or her brain-mind potential. After reviewing visually the
analysis of the set of diagnostic protocols, a person is given a
developmental set of techniques, CDs and sound patterns designed to
optimize his/her brain functioning.
Benefits:
- Learn knowledge and
techniques to utilize all four brain wave patterns for specific
activity and results.
- Gain mastery and control over
the individual’s brain-mind functioning.
- Learn techniques to access
one’s unique portal into the layers of the brain-mind that opens up
creativity and insight.
- Increase the sense of control
over one’s feelings of well being, relaxation and life balance.
 Relaxation: Using the Four Brain Wave Patterns
The Challenge
Most executives live in a constant state of unconscious stress that
limits optimal performance of job responsibilities, harms the
interpersonal communication and interaction with colleagues and
subordinates, and often negatively impacts spouse and family
relationships. Most of all, this constant stress fatigues and
debilitates the physical body, often causing compensation in substance
abuse and leading to serious conditions such as heart problems, immune
diseases and the like.
The Process
Using a neuro-spectral analysis tool called the Mind-Mirror™ and a
stress biofeedback program called HeartMath®, an individual in this
program is given two diagnostic baselines of both the stress pattern
and the brain-wave mind-flow. Individual techniques are designed by the
consultant to reduce stress and bring awareness to stabilize brain
frequencies into a relaxed, open focused state of mind.
Benefits:
- Feedback training brings awareness to alert both the
brain-mind and the body when it is going into stress and then how to
shift the mind-flow and brain wave patterns to reduce the stressors.
- Individual techniques for maintaining daily stress
reduction will be given to each executive based on the neuro-spectral
analysis.
 Decision-Making and Contemplation
The Challenge
By far the most significant act for which executives are held
accountable is the quality of their decisions. Being able to
contemplate the full range of an opportunity, strategy, organizational
issue or financial challenge is what opens up possibilities and
insights that can lead to the kind of decision that can make a
significant difference for the organization, for the customer and for
the shareholder.
The Process
In this program executives learn to deepen awareness by focusing the
placement of their mind in full, open attention. This establishes the
ability for authentic decision-making in a contemplative manner. Using
the Brain Mirror™ analysis protocols and Mind Alive™ entrainment
technology, as well as sound techniques and specially designed CDs, an
individual can gain access to the appropriate brain wave pattern that
moves him/her into a contemplative state and into a deeper and clearer
knowledge of the decision one needs to make.
The Benefit:
- Achieve the ability to open up the range of
perception in order to see decisions as they emerge on the horizon of
experience, rather than be surprised by them, in order for the
decisions to be more timely and of higher quality.
- Learn the access point to the brain wave state of
theta where contemplation can be explored and insights emerge on
problems and issues.
- Establish the ability to move between narrow
concentration focus and broad or open focus as one works through out
the day.
 Releasing Potential: Unblocking Creativity and Innovation
The Challenge
It is not uncommon that executives often reach an individual “Peter
Principle” where their potential to create, innovate and lead seems
blocked. Coming up to the level of one’s incompetence (as the Peter
Principle implied) is a hard thing to confront in oneself. When one
comes up to a fundamental limitation the challenge is whether to take
oneself on as a project of development or not. But the question is
often “How do I break through? What do I develop?” The research in
neuroscience points the way to opening and accessing more individual
potential.
The Process
This program focuses on the mind/personality
pattern blocks that limit executives in their leadership potential as
well as their capacity for creativity and innovation. Using the
diagnostic tools of neuro-analysis and the Enneagram, the individual is
taken into layers of their brain-mind to find and release the blocks
and barriers to his/her perceived limits. The Enneagram is an ancient
psychophysical model that has been updated and is used to reveal the
blind spots that stop and trap people from living and performing an
effective and meaningful life.
The Benefits:
- Understand the blocks that inhibit an executive from
scaling to the next level of his/her potential.
- Gain methods to release oneself from old patterns
and make new choices in one’s life.
- Access to new avenues of creativity and insight in
one’s leadership role.
- Ultimately, this program provides a new place from
which to stand and act in the world.
 The Brain-Mind Science of Meditation
The Challenge
The struggle of every executive is to find a daily, simple practice
that can help him or her maintain physical, emotional and mental
balance in his or her life. The art of meditation has been a strategy
that provides a method for people to easily and quickly return to an
inner, calm, centered place within themselves in order to meet the
daily stress and challenges of their leading and managing.
Meditation for some has the connotation
of religious and spiritual, when in fact it is a natural functioning of
the brain-mind. The Brain-Mind Science of Meditation program (which can
serve both the individual as well as the group needs of an executive
team) opens a person to the direct experience of the meditative states.
Using the configuration of the four brain-waves one will learn to
understand and traverse the different levels of human consciousness and
awareness that has been an art, but is now truly a science.
The Process
In the eight two-hour sessions, the specific
brain wave patterns of beta, alpha, theta and delta will be explored
for their specific meditative qualities and characteristics. Each
participant will be given a preliminary neuro-analysis to create a
baseline for how to explore his or her unique brain wave
characteristics. Two sessions will be devoted to each brain wave state.
There will be experiences and practices given with each brain wave
state in order to develop self-awareness and control at each of the
four stages. One of the outstanding results of this program is that
each individual will learn a meditation practice that fits his/her
unique brain wave pattern.
Benefits:
The benefits of scientific meditation are well
documented as to their positive impact physiologically, neurologically
and psychologically.
- Physiologically, it has been established that a short
daily meditation practice can reduce heart and respiratory rate, lower
blood pressure and blood cortisone levels as well as reduce carbon
dioxide in muscle tone.
- Neurologically, consistent meditation changes brain
electrical activity and stabilizes the nervous system.
- Psychologically, meditation practice deepens
relaxation, reduces depression, calms anxiety, stabilizes emotions and
opens one to clear insights, rational problem solving and more balanced
relationships.
