Explore and help shape the Cognitive Ecology Model (CEM), a novel coaching framework that aligns environments - both internal and external - with the mind’s natural capacity for calm, clarity, and connection.

By acknowledging and embracing the dynamic interplay between our thoughts, values, and environments, the CEM aims to empower clients to create meaningful and lasting change.

Ideal for coaches seeking fresh strategies, this approach combines scientific insights with practical tools for transformative coaching. This hour-long interactive session will introduce the core concepts and scientific foundations of the CEM, provide a live demonstration of the model "in action," and facilitate group discussion and a collaborative experience for attendees.

About the Speaker
James Meaden is an Industrial/Organizational Psychologist dedicated to helping people rediscover their natural mindfulness through evidence-based, nature-inspired practices. Author of the Environmental Model of Mindfulness, a foundational paper exploring mindfulness as a natural state shaped by environmental contexts, James is now advancing this work with the Cognitive Ecology Model (CEM). By bridging cutting-edge research and coaching, the CEM is intended to provide a practical framework for aligning internal and external environments with the mind’s natural potential, fostering sustainable and impactful growth.
