To be an authentic transformational coach we must have impeccable self-awareness, abiding mindfulness practice, and be a life long learner.  A Transformational Coach first is aware of her own strengths and shortcomings.  The coach understands the impact they have on others.  This self-awareness is earned through a willingness to dive into one’s inner life.  The second component of a Transformational Coach is that they have a deep and abiding mindfulness practice.  In a world saturated with information and fast-passed technology, the Transformational Coach steps outside of this flurry and is grounded through a mindfulness practice.  Through this practice the self-awareness of the coach is enriched as well as possible areas of growth.  The third characteristic of a transformational coach is that they are life long learners.  Learning becomes less a goal to achieve and more of a way of life.  Learning how to learn becomes more important than gathering a mass of knowledge.  To be one who teaches this, we have to be that which we are teaching.  Or the best way to teach transformational coaching is to allow transformation to take root in the life of the teacher. Micki McMillan MEd.,MCC, is CEO and co-founder of the Blue Mesa Group, a firm that supports senior leaders’ success through executive coaching and proven leadership skills.

In what ways do I keep myself stuck by not having the difficult conversations that would truly make a difference to me and the other? Why do I assume that raising something that has been concerning me will have a negative outcome? I demean others when I deprive them of feedback that lets them know the impact of their behavior on me. When I give feedback that is descriptive, situational and owns the behavior’s impact on me and when I give it in the spirit of love – not blame nor defensiveness, I offer a gift. Ironically it is not only a gift to the other – it is a gift to self as well. I have taken action and often that action releases the tension and anxiety created by the situation and allows me to let go it. Join Gail to learn a feedback tool and some specific skills of preparing and delivering feedback that will help create a positive outcome for the conversation you need to have. Gail is a dynamic and creative business coach. Her warmth, knowledge of human behaviour and positive energy form the basis of an outstanding learning opportunity for her clients. Her background as a successful leader and manager brings both awareness of the complexities faced by her clients and the coaching skills to help them find their own effective solutions. Gail has a private coaching practice and has been an Associate of the Niagara Institute for many years. Her career path includes a number of senior management positions in the public sector at the municipal and provincial level. In her roles, she managed large departments and sites where she was involved in restructuring and change management, led cross-functional teams, and designed and developed new programs. She has also held significant positions of leadership in the volunteer sector.

Helen shares after 5 years of having my International Coach training company, I took some time out this year to review where I had been and where I am going, something I strongly recommend coaching clients, coaches and international leaders I work with do. From this time of reflection, I was able to review what was working both personally and professionally for me. This “reflection time” was deeply inspired by a leadership training I taught in China last November, where I walked into a room of leaders from all different walks of life and had a visceral experience in my body of their exhaustion and frustration. I started to hear a small voice inside of me inviting me to change my curriculum and be present with both myself and these leaders over the time I spent with them. That training began to create a pathway forward for me, as a leader, trainer and coach with a passion to create global change. Helen Attridge, President, International Trainer, Master Certified Coach, is the president and owner of the Academy of Coaching and NLP (ACN). When Helen took over the program, her vision was to create an international coach training program that provides students with the highest International Coaching Federation (ICF) credentials and combines ICF pure coaching model with powerful NLP coaching techniques. ACN empowers students with everything they need to launch a successful coaching business. Prior to becoming Director of ACN, Helen was an International Trainer for the NLP and Coaching Institute of California. She was a Results Coach for the Anthony Robbins Company, coaching CEOs and executives internationally. She is also Facilitator/Coach for Womensquest Outdoor Adventure Company. In addition, Helen has built a successful coaching practice.   01:01:00Design Your Life for New ChoicesnoPatricia Hirsch,Design Your Life Coaching for New Choices,Coaching,Helen Attridge,leadershipPatricia Hirsch, MCC, interviews Helen Attridge, MCC.

Values are what we use as a description of our selves, our “true essence” if you would like. What happens when our boundaries are breached? Are we really venerable there? Are we really being hurt? Come on and listen to this layout of definitions and discoveries to assess your own behavior in your culture. Allow yourself to embrace your values in a way you might not have thought about before. Rafael Boker was born to provoke and help others to transform their lives into their best selves. With more than 6 years of experience, Rafael coached and trained other coaches to be rooted to their true essence. Rafael comes from a small family and created a bigger one, fulfilling his essence as a father, along with helping other individuals to grow themselves to create a life that they love and fulfill their dreams. Rafael was trained at CTI (The Coaches Training Institute) as a Co-Active coach, and currently holds the role of leading certification programs for CTI, supervising, holding a beautiful marriage and parenting three children. 01:01:00Design Your Life for New ChoicesnoPatricia Hirsch,Rafael Boker,Design Your Life for New Choices,life coaching,coachingPatricia Hirsch, MCC, interviews Rafael Boker, PCC.Boundaries are our way of communicating with other people – letting them know where we stand, how far are wehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/designyourlifecoaching/2014/09/25/paradoxical-issues-in-coachingLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/designyourlifecoaching/2014/09/25/paradoxical-issues-in-coaching/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/designyourlifecoaching/2014/09/25/paradoxical-issues-in-coachingThu, 25 Sep 2014 15:00:00 GMTParadoxical Issues in CoachingPatricia Hirsch, MCC, interviews Alain Cardon, MCC.  Alain shares how over the years, working in executive, team and organizational coaching contexts has often been a challenge. Gradually working through the paradox of resistance to change or that people and systems ask for change in order to limit change, he has had to find strategies to accompany them, and himself in this exploration process. This has allowed Alain to develop specific individual, team and organizational coaching tools and strategies that he finds very powerful. Master Certified Coach since 2002, mostly recognized for his specific competencies in systemic executive coaching, team coaching and organizational coaching, Alain Cardon is also a systemic coach trainer and coach supervisor with coach students in France, Belgium, Spain, Germany and Romania where he has opened a systemic coaching school in 2007. As far as his personal style for executive coaching, life coaching, team coaching and organizational coaching clients, Alain has developed a direct, confronting and empowering coaching approach which may be defined as a blend of brief, systemic, creative, and breakthrough posture and techniques. Although French national and part-time resident, his intensely international personal life and career also makes it difficult to define Alain’s executive coaching heritage as originating from one or another coaching school of thought, one or another national frame of reference. 00:32:00Design Your Life for New ChoicesnoAlain Cardon,Patricia Hirsch,coaching,executive coaching,Design Your Life Coaching for New ChoicesPatricia Hirsch, MCC, interviews Alain Cardon, MCC.  Alain shares how over the years, working in executive, team and organizational coaching contexts has oftenhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/designyourlifecoaching/2014/08/21/teaching-the-coach-approach-for-social-transformationLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/designyourlifecoaching/2014/08/21/teaching-the-coach-approach-for-social-transformation/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/designyourlifecoaching/2014/08/21/teaching-the-coach-approach-for-social-transformationThu, 21 Aug 2014 15:00:00 GMTTeaching the Coach Approach for Social TransformationPatricia Hirsch, MCC, interviews Dr. Patrick Williams.

I call this daily practice an ART, which we’ll create together.

If you or your clients ever feel pulled in different directions, stuck, confused or conflicted, you will find Voice Dialogue a powerful process for deep and lasting change. Voice Dialogue is a process that supports you and your clients to become aware of the myriad inner ‘selves’ and their purpose, and learn how to harness the power of these selves. The goal of Voice Dialogue is to teach us to accept, appreciate and embrace all of our selves, consciously recognize and develop the ability to dialogue with these selves, and learn not to be run by them. Voice Dialogue provides a path for you and your clients to shift from automatic reactive patterns to awareness of previously unseen creative options. After 27 years as an attorney, BJ shifted her life focus in 1999 to reclaim her right brain, heart-centered connection, fully embody her unique expression, and support others in bringing BEING back into their lives, claiming and living the fullest expression of their uniqueness. She looks at coaching as a ‘spelunking’ adventure to uncover and resolve whatever is in the way of coming fully alive. As part of the exploration, BJ incorporates a process known as Voice Dialogue to assist clients in acknowledging and using their multiple ‘selves’ to shift from automatic reactions to empowered, creative responses. This process opens real choice as clients ‘separate’ from their various voices (selves) and find their true center where insight, possibility, and creativity reside. Since 2002 BJ has been on the faculty of Invite CHANGE, an ICF accredited coach training organization in Edmonds, WA. She has been an Invite CHANGE Certified Mentor Coach since 2009 and has trained coaches in the use of Voice Dialogue since 2001. 01:32:00Design Your Life for New ChoicesnoPatricia Hirsch,BJ Levy,Design Your Life for New Choices,life coaching,executive coachingPatricia Hirsch, MCC interviews BJ Levy, PCC.

At its heart, coaching is simple.  Working that simply isn’t easy, and when managers and leaders are going to take coaching into their organizations, there’s some unlearning to be done. Coaching isn’t simply about a regular defined conversation sat in a private room.  It can be used at the water cooler and by a coffee machine and organizations can be transformed as people learn to take responsibility for their own learning through giving and receiving powerful conversations. Claire Pedrick has been coaching for her entire career – starting in a non-profit coaching people who wanted to work in international development, and for the last 18 years heading up a coaching company in the UK that focuses on developing coaching in the workplace.  Trained at Coach U in the late 1990s, Claire is also an accredited Coaching Supervisor and supervises and develops coaches to work in their own  organizations  including the health service and the church. She is in demand as an executive coach, coaching supervisor and mentor  and as a trainer.  She works by enabling powerful conversations, taking you to the heart of issues and enabling you to achieve transformational change in the context of your organization. This process enables and supports you to do the thinking you need to do. It is often challenging, and Claire uses simple questions that respect your world without allowing you to avoid difficult topics or insights.  The feedback she receives confirms that she is able to provide more help in 10 minutes than many have received through months or years of other interventions. 00:32:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoexecutive coaching,life coaching,Design Your Life for New Choices,Patricia Hirsch,Claire PedrickPatricia Hirsch, MCC interviews Claire Pedrick, MCC.

Barbara's passion is to call forth women and men to discover what really matters to them, their Authentic Brilliance.  Women in developed countries today have more choices and opportunities. They are better educated, more affluent and enjoy more privilege than any time in history. They are also more unhappy and depressed.  The divorce rate is higher than ever before as is the addiction to alcohol and drugs.  What is this about? Barbara believes that with all the external pressures to be what we think society wants us to be, we lose sight or never discover who we really are, our unique gifts and talents and what we are called to do in the world.  Her own journey of foreclosure on her dream home has been deeply transformational. Barbara was stunned that after 30 years of transformational growth work she was so identified with the external trappings of her life. Thus began her journey, deeper into her soul than she had ever been before, to discover her Authentic Brilliance. Barbara is the Founder and Chief Inspiration Officer of Life Transformations, Now! She is a transformational coach, inspirational speaker and international bestselling author. Her second book, Bold is Beautiful, will be released in late December. Through her own life experiences she has traveled the sacred transformational journey to discover the many layers of her Authentic Brilliance. Barbara has evolved through three professional careers and now lives her purpose by guiding other women in the process of discovering and living from the “sweet spot” of their Authentic Self. 00:31:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoexecutive coaching,life coaching,Patricia Hirsch,Barbara Eisele,Design Your Life Coaching for New ChoicesPatricia Hirsch, MCC, interviews Barbara Eisele, PCC.

You see, I am a recovering investment banker. Yet by combining my business background with leadership development skills and innovative brain science strategies, I successfully developed a unique and highly effective coaching and consulting model for my clients.

Patricia Hirsch, MCC, MBA, has discussed how we explored how historical discourses may form your style of communicating in the domain of language; what makes up how you speak and how you listen. In our next show, we will explore the domain of body and use as an example, four body dispositions and how if you practice each will give you the ability to be centered. You will begin to notice how you are often unaware how you communicate to others with your body. You will gain insights into what you may be saying just by how you are holding your body and without you even realizing it. For example, you may think that you are speaking from a place of power whereas you are actually speaking from a place of apology; you may think you are communicating from calmness whereas your body implies anger. Come discover your predominant body dispositions and how to begin a new practice of shifting away from what is not working for you to the powerful results you hope for based in certainty and being centered.

Haven’t you developed the habit of brushing your teeth two to three times a day? That habit works for you! Your dentist is happy. But take a look at your habit of waking up inside of familiar moods. What about living from emotions that just seem to be present consistently? And you think they are yours. On the next Design Your Life, Coaching for New Choices radio show, we will begin to examine habits that may or may not serve you any longer focusing on your persistent moods and emotions. You will begin to learn how to notice when you are speaking from a mood that doesn’t work ‘over there’ with your listener. Or how you may be making requests from emotions that no longer work for you. Is it really surprising that people “just don’t get it?” Patricia will begin a revealing conversation from a third domain called moods and emotions and how by becoming aware of yours will support you in choosing a new design for your life.

For many people, in spite of firm intentions to take conscious and deliberate actions, they find themselves doing exactly the opposite of what they intended. Have you responded to inconsequential emails when an important project deadline is hastily approaching? Failed to follow your boss’ suggestions even when you already made up your mind to do so? Failed to keep your cool even though you prepared and rehearsed your response? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to count on your brain to come through when you need it? Utilizing research from the fields of neuroscience, coaching and hypnosis, Janice will share powerful brain concepts (Evolutionary Brain, Reticular Activating System) and 2 mind models: Theory of Mind and SCARF to help our listeners: Stay focused and reduce emotional hijackings Avoid feelings of overwhelm Overcome self-sabotage Have more “Ah-Hah” moments Janice Knight is passionate about human potential and has worked with hundreds of clients to help accelerate their success.

MCC.  The number one job of leaders is to “build more leaders” said an article in Inc. Magazine a few years ago. In your observation would you say this is happening? No, I haven’t seen much evidence either. As coaches we work with leaders who are dealing with competing demands on their time and an endless list of things to do – and building more leaders isn’t likely on the list. Getting to the next deadline and through the day is more likely what’s happening. In this conversation, we’re going to explore one of the fastest, easiest and yet challenging ways to begin developing others: And it starts when a knock comes to the door. In her 20 years in leadership and coach training, Cheryl Smith has been called pioneering, visionary, inspirational and “the Coach's Coach." After gaining marketing and management experience on two continents with IBM, Cheryl both worked as an associate with leading human resource organizations and operated her own consultancy. Cheryl’s focus moved toward maximizing human potential, mostly in the workplace. After amassing a deep and wide-ranging understanding of this subject, she embraced coaching as the most effective means of unleashing leadership capability and aligning people with their aspirations. Cheryl shares her expertise by using her formidable facilitation skills to help leaders and teams develop their potential through more effective conversations. She also guides and mentors others to become effective coach-trainers. To express her passion for coaching in the workplace, Cheryl has co-authored her own programs and training videos called Navigational Coaching. 00:35:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoexecutive coaching,life coaching,Patricia Hirsch,Cheryl Smith,Design Your Life Coaching for New ChoicesPatricia Hirsch interviews Cheryl Smith.

We all tend to pursue something we think is most important to us, what often happens is that when we come to see our fulfilled pursue, we tend to lose interest in that goal. Ever happened to you? This is why it is important that we find something to ground our dreams into, in my language this is called a ROOT, which our uniqueness grounds into. Describing it as a metaphor: having a dream without knowing who we really are with no roots is like a cloud in the sky that has no purpose to drop rain or to shade . . . What is your dream? How will you pursue your dream? What makes you unique? Who are you? These and other Questions are what I am trying to answer to myself every day of my life.

This is unacceptable. They’re committed to creating workplaces that invite people to bring their best, show up as leaders, and find meaning in their work. Great places to work confront people with the freedom and responsibility they have to make work meaningful and fun. They demand courage from leaders to move from command and control to a culture led by something greater. These include shared core values and a clear sense of purpose that aligns the workforce and attracts loyal customers. Such workplaces are 3 to 5 times more productive and a lot more fun to work in, lead and buy from. Eddie Marmol is a former engineer and project manager, with expertise in synthesizing language, somatic elements, cultures and perspectives. He quickly connects relevant concepts and helps translate them into practical, real world applications.

Leadership is not about what you do but who you are being in the moment. Who you are being in the moment makes a lot of difference in your performance as a Leader. In fact, that was the question which made me write my role rather than my designation on my business card. Coaching provides continuous learning at the deeper level to understand and internalize this belief. In today’s environment of changing technology and evolving organizations, a leader needs many characteristics including clarity of vision; how to build trust and transparency; inspiring others to find their voice, etc. Nurturing team members is a very critical and essential aspect of leadership. Coaching can have a strategic impact, and it is one of the approaches which inspires and motivates individuals at a deeper level to reach their true potential consistently.

Human beings are designed to experience stressful situations, to move through them, and to grow because of them. This is at the core of human resiliency and strength. Think about historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, and Mother Theresa. They met stress and adversity head on; they moved through and they grew from their stress. Stress is part of the ontological structure of today’s leadership. We see it on high-performance teams to those pushing the competitive edge as well as executives working long hours with demanding deadlines. Stress pushes us to excel, it increases our resiliency and makes us stronger. With the right amount of stress we can think clearer and express ourselves better, literally our brain functions better and when our brain functions better, we function better. This kind of stress is called eustress. When we move towards overwhelm a chain of events go off: We make poor choices, we make snap decisions, our muscles tighten, we run from difficult conversations. This stress we call distress. Somewhere between eustress and distress is a magical point called the optimal stress zone and it holds the perfect amount of stress for peak performance. Chris Balsley MA, LPC, PCC has maintained a thriving and diverse professional practice for almost thirty years. Chris’s coaching clients include leaders at all levels in organizations from government officials to executives in Fortune 500 companies.

Traditional notions of coaching focus on holding the coachee’s agenda, building rapport and showing empathy while actively listening. This may help ease a coachee’s fear, but it may prolong self-denial. To help people step out of their ruts and find the source of their fears and illusions, the coach must be willing to challenge beliefs, disrupt patterns, and create tension in the relationship. Deep inside this discomfort lies the mirror where people can grasp who they really are and what they truly desire. Dr. Marcia Reynolds, MCC will use coaching demonstrations and critical review of practices to look at: What it takes for a coach to be more challenging. How using positive confrontation, honest feedback and stretching clients will help them play bigger in this world that needs them to step up. Whether you are a coach or looking to be coached, if you are ready to take the right risks in your life, come prepared to be coached to the edge. From there, you will see you can fly. Dr. Marcia Reynolds is considered an expert on the brain, helping people understand “why they do what they do” so they can make better choices.

This allows what a person cares about to be revealed and shared with the coach or within a group. We have experienced over and over the value of using images to break past what a person thinks should be shared to what really matters to them. The conversation goes deep much more quickly. The coaching process is enhanced and/or a team or group will be supported in what really matters in their life, their work, their relationships. Carol Harris-Fike, PCC, NCOC, coaches and mentors individuals around the world. She earned Newfield Certified Ontological Coach certification through Newfield Network. She recently was certified in Newfield’s advanced ontological course: Body and Movement. Areas of expertise include an understanding of the latest research in the science of the brain/body and how our view of the world affects how we think, feel, and move. She has degrees from Texas Tech University and the University of Texas at Austin. Carol’s book, 5 Life Energies: The Choice You Have in How Energy Shapes Your Life (2009), exemplifies the choice we truly have to “be” the way we desire.

Janet will discuss how the shadow of ease and comfort as coach is complacency and habit.

Generative wholeness, the outcome of personal sovereignty, will break the boundary coaches believe defines the relationship with clients in order to co-create a partnership that explores in unknown territory.

Tine shares for a great many years of her adult life, she lived from the belief that she was NOT afraid. Fear was not part of her life. At least not consciously. It wasn’t until she turned 40, that she experienced that she had been lying to herself, big time. Actually, she was so afraid that she had completely denied that emotion that she had developed a bunch of creative strategies to avoid any emotional pain at all. Tine knew the consequences of it, loneliness and being trapped in an emotional prison, but this was far better than actually facing the fear, apparently. Today, fear is part of Tine's life, luckily, she knows it, feels it, sometimes she is even paralyzed by it. The power is that she recognizes fear at all levels: In her, in other people, in society, our lack of wanting to deal with it and the power it then has, it can start a war, initiate crises, break up marriages and get organizations to fall. Tine Gaihede is one of the pioneers of professional coaching in Scandinavia. With a background as an economist from University of Copenhagen and an M.A from London City University, she used to work with the arts as a vehicle for economic and social growth in Europe back in the 90’s – initiated by the fall of the political iron curtain at the end of the 1980s. Transitioning into coaching in 1999 Tine has run her own coaching business for 14 years, assisting global leaders in large, often complex organizations to set new agendas in their leadership and lives. Her clients are leaders who are driven by vision and confronted with the limits of fear – both their own and the organization’s. Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, Tine was the 2012 president of the Danish Chapter of The ICF, focusing on creating new possibilities for professional coaches by establishing new alliances between professional coaches and the market.   00:35:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoleadership coaching,executive coaching,Patricia Hirsch,Tine Gaihede,Design Your Life for New ChoicesPatricia Hirsch interviews Tine Gaihede, PCC.

Objectives, results and process are at the core of Coaching. Most techniques focus on the mind only, trying to push quickly forward towards desired results. However, how important is the ‘quick fix’ in comparison to the deeper work that lies beneath the surface? Inbodycoaching is a way to include the person as a whole in its own process. The coach has a great toolbox to use, however it only accounts for just 30% of the coaching success. The real treasure is hidden within the client’s potential, and this in itself is sometimes safely stored within the castle of our own body. In order to develop self-awareness, compassion and enhance coaching processes the show will teach you insights as to how to use and include the client’s body, but also your own. Simple exercises will show how to get in touch with your body’s voices, unleash great wisdom from within your client and boost the coaching to speedy level. Deep transformation starts from within- that is where coaching and the body meet. Maike Stolte, ACC, is founder of INBODY- Coaching & Bodywork in Barcelona, Spain. Inbody helps you to become aware of your inner resources whilst reaching out to and balancing your body, mind and spirit at the same time.

Many people find that they are less than inspired in their current work (or relationship) situation and find that they are stuck where they are because they don’t know what they “want” that will ignite their passion nor how to extricate themselves from their current perspective. In order to cope in a situation that is no longer in their service, people tend to “shut down” and go numb. As we close ourselves off, opportunities and choice close off to us as well. The coaching relationship provides the client with a safe, caring environment to re-acquaint themselves with who they are, what they care about and then create a vision of the life that they can be passionate about. With that in mind Carol then helps keep the client focused on creating their future, one step and one day at a time. Carol Henry has been “developing people” for over 30 years. She has a Masters Degree in Adult Education and has been working and coaching in the post secondary education sector for the past 27 years. In her career at Canada’s largest college, Carol was first a teaching faculty, then Associate Director of Student Services responsible for Career Services for students, student recruitment and University Transfer Agreements and Advisement, and finally the Director of Professional Development for faculty, administration and support staff. She has coached many employees, at all levels, wishing to find and re-ignite their passion so they re-engage within (or outside of) the institution, their current career, job or relationship.

To her, this is the process of helping the coaches to step back, metaphorically, from their work so that they may take a meta-perspective, or broader view, of their practice. It is a time to think about the past, in the present, for the future to just engage in the learning. The objective of supervision is not to "coach-the-coach," as it is often understood. Rather it is for the coaches to go beyond their professional and personal obstacles and to create a safe place for the form (learning), norm (standard) and restoring (recharging). Coaches in supervision often refer to their experience of having time and space to think about particular aspects of their work and especially to think / reflect with a trusted colleague who will microscopically explore their practice with them, contribute to their understanding, learn new ways of practice and recharge their batteries, in a safe and confidential environment. Born in France & based in Brussels, Sylvie's experience includes HR + general management gained within renowned companies such as 3M, Boeing or Cap Gemini. She has worked with head hunters, within the European Institutions & IOM. These 30+ years experience makes her feel at ease in large private or medium sized companies, as well as in the public sector. Today, I am a Coach, a Mentor Coach & a Supervisor. I was the Belgium Board President of ICF and am an Assessor for credential exams. As a Coach, my clients describe me as an enthusiastic person, who knows how to improve people’s confidence in both their hard and soft skills.

Patricia interviews Kees de Vries, PCC; he shares the following thoughts: when I was asked at the age of 16 what I wanted to be in later life, I answered Maecenas, the well-connected, generous and enlightened patron of the arts. Maecenas represents all that I dream to be doing in my life, which is: giving people the space and possibilities to explore, to develop and to exploit as much of their talents and gifts as they have to offer the world, and me holding them and holding them in that space, and be present. To me, this is what coaching is about. Maecenas stands for money, opportunity and patronage put on the development of others. This also applies to me. My money and opportunities have always been in my continuous development and learning. This eager moving ahead brought me to Supervision. Supervision is about deepening knowledge by exploring together and co-learning. It stipulates that everything is created in the moment, and in relationship. Supervision demands the art of holding, and presence with the other. Like Maecenas. Kees de Vries is a professional coach who provides coaching, supervision and development services. Since 1989 he is self-employed, and nationally and internationally active from his home in Amsterdam. His work theme is coaching people in finding their way to durable happiness in life and work. Clients describe his coaching as intuitive and energizing. One said: Kees’ his presence facilitates the future. Kees holds an MSc in Work and Organization Psychology.

Is it hindering you or helping you? For many people, in spite of firm intentions to take conscious and deliberate actions, they find themselves doing exactly the opposite of what they intended. Have you responded to inconsequential emails when an important project deadline is hastily approaching? Failed to follow your boss’ suggestions even when you already made up your mind to do so? Failed to keep your cool even though you prepared and rehearsed your response? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to count on your brain to come through when you need it? Utilizing research from the fields of neuroscience, coaching and hypnosis, Janice will share powerful brain concepts (Evolutionary Brain, Reticular Activating System) and 2 mind models: Theory of Mind and SCARF to help our listeners: Stay focused and reduce emotional hijackings Avoid feelings of overwhelm Overcome self-sabotage Have more “Ah-Hah” moments Janice Knight is passionate about human potential and has worked with hundreds of clients to help accelerate their success. Coaching small business leaders and professionals, Janice realized in spite of great intentions, her clients would often sabotage their efforts before reaching their full potential. Convinced that it was possible to help her clients improve performance and overcome self-sabotage, Janice continued her studies and, after completing training in hypnosis and incorporating the insights of brain-based coaching, Janice combined coaching, hypnosis and consulting to launch her business. Janice works with clients who desire to tap into the power of their conscious and subconscious minds to let go of the past and fast-track potential.   01:01:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoexecutive coaching,life coaching,Patricia Hirsch,Janice Knight,Design Your Life for New ChoicesPatricia interviews Janice Knight, PCC, as they explore these ideas: Does your brain seem to have a mind of its own?

We all tend to pursue something we think is most important to us, what often happens is that when we come to see our fulfilled pursue, we tend to lose interest in that goal. Ever happened to you? This is why it is important that we find something to ground our dreams into, in my language this is called a ROOT, which our uniqueness grounds into. Describing it as a metaphor: having a dream without knowing who we really are with no roots is like a cloud in the sky that has no purpose to drop rain or to shade . . . What is your dream? How will you pursue your dream? What makes you unique? Who are you? These and other Questions are what I am trying to answer to myself every day of my life. Rafael Boker was born to provoke and help others to transform their lives into their best selves. With more than 6 years of experience, Rafael Coached and trained other coaches to be rooted to their true essence. Rafael comes from a small family and created a bigger one, fulfilling his essence as a father, along with helping other individuals to grow themselves to create a life that they love and fulfill their dreams. Rafael was trained at CTI (The coaches Training Institute) as a Co-Active coach, and currently holds the role of leading certification programs for CTI, supervising, holding a beautiful marriage and parenting 3 children. 01:00:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoexecutive coaching,life coaching,Patricia Hirsch,Rafael Boker,Design Your Life for New ChoicesPatricia Hirsch interviews Rafael Boker, PCC, about his belief that the meaning of being human is to honor among other values, the ability to DREAM.

She brings a unique perspective based on her past work as an attorney, a human resources executive, and a consultant. Coaches meet clients where they are and offer a judgment-free zone. Asking clients to stretch and “do the right thing” is also important. How can a coach reconcile these contradictory concepts? How does the right thing show up for individuals? What about corporate clients? Is servant leadership or a global mindset necessary to doing the right thing? Join Patricia as she and Mary explore definitions for what constitutes “doing the right thing” both as an individual and from a business perspective. From a global perspective, the right thing for an organization and its executives could vary depending on the country and its culture. For everyone, the right thing can sometimes be uncomfortable and/or unpopular. What’s your experience? Mary Miller received her law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and her undergrad from UCLA. She has been certified as a human resources professional for more than 15 years. Mary received her coach training at Coach U. She quickly identifies and develops the transformative potential within both business and individual clients. She stretches her clients to consider all possible options open to them. Mary believes that coaching provides an individual or an organization with the opportunity to increase their awareness of themselves, their values, and impact. Mary believes that really great coaching provokes people to do more than complete a series of transactional steps to a finish line . . . really great coaching transforms and evolves the individual or the business in a holistic manner.   00:52:00Design Your Life for New Choicesnoexecutive coaching,life coaching,Patricia Hirsch,Mary Miller,Design Your Life for New ChoicesPatricia interviews Mary Miller, J.D., SPHR, ACC, who has been coaching executives, managers, and forward-thinking individuals for over 10 years.

We usually get this backwards. We think if we achieve, obtain, get or secure the things we say we want on the outside, then we get to feel the way we want to feel on the inside. Every decision we make is really because we are after a feeling. Think about it, you choose relationships, career, hobbies all for a feeling. If it was really that simple why do so many who have achieved continue to feel less than happy? Your brain is incredible and capable of so many things, most importantly-change… What would you do differently if your life felt the way you wanted it to feel? How would this change the way you show up in the world? How would it impact your relationship with yourself, your work, your children or significant other? No circumstance, person or event can keep you from feeling the way you want to feel. The only thing that is stopping you is you. In order to change your external world you have to start with your internal world. In 2012 Jennie launched her own coaching practice and website, with an emphasis on coaching women. The focus has been on helping her clients understand the relationship between thoughts and feelings. Jennie’s mission is to make coaching affordable and accessible for any woman who is ready to change her mind, for good! Jennie has an extensive background combining education, coaching, and behavior modification. She has worked to develop and implement programs in elementary, secondary and post-secondary settings. and is an instructional designer and trainer with an emphasis on solution- focused coaching and brain-based learning.

Patricia interviews Andrew Elowitt (PCC pending), who has over 25 years of experience as a lawyer and executive. Though executive coaching has gained wide acceptance, professional service firms have been markedly slower in embracing coaching as a way to improve performance, profitability, and satisfaction. One reason for this is the tendency of many coaches to treat professionals as though they are executives. Does this approach make sense, and more important, does it serve the best interests of professionals? As a former lawyer and executive, Andrew Elowitt brings a unique perspective to this question.
