Organizational Coaching Bloopers from Around the World, Lessons from a Global Executive Coach with Agnes Mura! Our featured headliner for our monthly 2nd Thursday meeting, October 8th 7:30-9:00 p.m, is sure to be hit!
Ready to learn from those dramatic moments in our coaching practice we’d rather not remember? Ready to jointly think about what was missing when a coaching assignment disappointed some stakeholders? Ready to open your minds to alternative approaches? An old hand in global leadership coaching will share her learnings, candidly, examining the causes and solutions of many common breakdowns. Since she not only works internationally, but works with executives who have global reach, she will enlarge our horizon by discussing how effective coaching has to vary from one corporate or national culture to another.
Take-aways:
– Organizational coaching failures, bloopers and how to prevent them.
– The limitations of trying to change minds just with the mind, and how to reach the whole person.
– Dimensions of culture and how to use them in any culturally complex situation, from ethnic culture to firm-specific ones.

Punt, Pass, or Power Through: Leadership Learned at the Line of Scrimmage with Mimi Donaldson! Our featured headliner for our monthly 2nd Thursday meeting, September 10th 7:30-9:00 p.m, is sure to be hit!
In this practical, extremely humorous, presentation, Mimi shares the secrets of capitalizing on opportunity and intention during challenging times and uses the game of football as a metaphor. Prevailing in challenging times is not a question of ability – people are able. True success hinges upon the ability to see opportunity, to have clear intention and a plan that works. Mimi uses the ultimate team game to highlight motivational and team building principles that leaders need to know in order to succeed in today’s challenging times and achieve personal and professional success. We are all in need of a good game plan, and this presentation promises to give key points right from the playbook of success.
