What is a Prosilient Mind?

Prosilient Minds are aware, attuned, compassionate, responsive. When we live and lead this way, we go beyond bouncing back to leaping forward. And we help other people do the same.

Advantage.

When  we become proactive about the inevitability of change and uncertainty, we can look for opportunities to turn challenges into possibilities and progress.

Applying the Science of our Relating Minds and Brains.

                                    --Dan Siegel and Debra Pearce-McCall
                                        Mindsight at Work

From Dr. Pearce-McCall, PhD

As a psychologist, I have a keen interest in how neuroscience research keeps finding scientific support for our subjective sense that we are connected, in some way, to each other. The relational reality that we are interconnected with all living creatures, and how we inhabit that, is a cornerstone of life on our planet. My life has been devoted to studying, understanding, and working with our minds and relationships. At core, I’m satisfying a lifelong quest about what makes healthy and optimal human systems, from individuals to organizations. My promise to you: When we work together, we will be increasing well-being - personal, relational, organizational, planetary. What might you gain if we work together? You will know how to welcome and walk the spiraling path of integration and emergence, leading your self and those you influence with mindful presence, conversational intelligence, emotional wisdom; harnessing the power of relationship for collective learning and co-creating. You will be Prosilient!

BRAIN  |  NEUROSCIENCE & BIOLOGY

We say 'the brain' for short, though our human experience really involves our entire nervous systems, from the brains in our skulls to the information broadcast by the neurons in our guts or those surrounding our hearts. An explosion of research continually gives us amazing insights into the workings of our brain/bodies - showing us some keys to regulation of stress and understanding emotions, promoting neuroplasticity, calmer minds, and greater health and well-being.
Prosilient Minds applies this to motivate, inspire, illuminate, and help make the process of change easier for people and organizations.
We can use our amazing minds to learn about, and then to 'notice and nudge' our brains and nervous systems toward patterns that support our well-being. Want to learn how?

MIND  |  PSYCHOLOGY

In what ways do you want to know, grow, and evolve your mind?Prosilient Mind skills, like awareness, intention, self-regulation, mindful communication, can be practiced and developed. Based on findings from numerous scientific disciplines, the consilient field of interpersonal neurobiology offers a powerful working definition of the healthy mind, expanding a definition I learned years earlier, when a big thinker named Bateson called mind - the pattern that connects.
Systemic and emergent ways of understanding the human mind are essential to the Prosilient Minds approach. A deep appreciation for all kinds of minds, and the integration of multiple ways to develop mind skills are lifelong pursuits for PM's founder. (I still have the first paper I wrote about the mind, completed at age 12!) In what ways do you want to know, grow, and evolve your mind?

RELATING  |  RELATIONAL SCIENCE

Humans are made to be connected; our nervous systems resonate with social information; healthy relationships contribute greatly to a sense of well-being and have measurable impact on our actual physical health. The best work outcomes and the happiest families happen when folks relate well.
Relationships yield our greatest pleasures and yet can also be our biggest sources of stress, conflict, and suffering. Our minds can learn about our social brains, move from reactive to reflective and responsive, and become prosilient in how we relate.
Prosilient Minds facilitates learning specific skills to build trusting, life enhancing, productive and prosilient relationships at work and home. And relating well supports healthier minds and brains. If you work through relationships, bring mind and brain savvy skills to your (hu)mentoring!
