Our Business Building Accountability Groups are running like clockwork! We continue to check in with our progress against our goals and where we could use some help. This has led to discussions where we’ve been learning social media tips from each other, providing feedback on each other’s websites, providing resources to each other, and sharing marketing ideas and insights. There’s still room in both groups. Members, associates and those not affiliated with ICFNM are welcome. Upon registration you’ll receive links to orientation materials and the facilitator will reach out to you. Groups are limited to 10 people per group.

Growing our businesses and our coaching confidence doesn’t come from the how. It comes from the who: who we are being at any given moment. When we lean into surrender and trust, and believe in our own ability to generate willpower for the sake of our mission: we can experience exponential confidence and bolster our coaching, our clients, our businesses and ourselves.
Join this event to learn:
- Why faith, detachment and receiving are the gatekeepers of personal and professional expansion.
- 3 spiritual practices (and skills) to drastically increase the growth of your coaching business.
- How believing in your own willpower creates more of it (and can do the same for your clients)!

How to Shift to Coaching the Person and Why This is So Important Now
We all get stuck in our stories, especially when we experience strong emotions. This limits us from seeing possibilities and alternative solutions to what we have tried before. The neuroscientists say that there must be something external to us, outside of our minds and bodies, that disrupt our thought patterns in order can change them. When someone else adeptly challenges your reasoning and dares to ask you a question that penetrates your protective frames, there is what Marcel Proust called, an “upheaval of thought.” This turbulence can crack open the stories, allowing you to see yourself and the world around you in new ways. You will then form new stories, but the process can repeat many times even in one day.
Coaches are trained to be external thought disruptors! We coach people to see beyond the frames of their stories as a thinking partner knowing they are creative, resourceful, and whole.. They instantly see themselves and the world around them in new way. This is the gift of coaching and what differentiates us from consulting and therapy.
This session will give you the words to easily define what we do as coaches, and show you how to shift people from being stuck in their problems and stories by focusing on what they REALLY want to achieve.
Coaches don’t focus on helping people feel better; we coach so they see better!
- Be able to articulate what you do as a coach and the impact you offer your clients.
- Understand the value of the “coaching agreement” and how this competency can shift from coaching the problem to coaching the person.
- Learn the essential elements for embodying a coaching mindset while in the process no matter what transpires.
- Watch this process demonstrated and then further explore the process of coaching after the demo is competed.

This session will focus on key coaching applications from two recent books:
And, Making a Difference by Leveraging Polarity Paradox, and Dilemma, Volume 1 Foundations
by Barry Johnson
And, Making a Difference by Leveraging Polarity Paradox, and Dilemma, Volume 2 Applications
by Polarity Practitioners
In this session, participants will gain a clearer sense of how using Polarity Thinking in the Coaching relationship can profoundly impact the quality of Coach and Client outcomes. When a coach sees and understands the critical distinction between “Or-thinking” and “And-thinking,” they can be more effective in their work with clients who, as leaders, are necessarily involved in polarity challenges and opportunities everyday. Coach/Client ability to supplement thinking in or with thinking in and increases the likelihood clients that will attain and sustain their goals and objectives and improve the quality of the Coach/Client partnership.
Participants will learn how to:
- Develop a basic understanding of key polarity thinking principles.
- Apply understanding of polarity principles to a common polarity in the Coaching relationship.
- Identify common polarities Coaches encounter in their coaching work with Clients.
- Apply the getting unstuck process to support a scenario in which different Clients can become hooked and stuck in the a polarity tension through an over focus on one pole of a polarity.

Having just finished his coaching workshop sessions for ACC credentialing, Nagesh was eager, in his first coaching session, to contract with his client, a 30-year-old Latina executive in a large US software company.
Nagesh: “What would you like to explore in today’s session?”
Client: (after several seconds) “I am tired of being an impostor.”
Nagesh: “What aspect of being an impostor would you like to talk about today?”
Client: (silent for even longer than the first time) “I cannot ever be myself at work. ”
Nagesh: “To clarify, you want to explore how tiring it is not to be yourself at work?”
Client: “Yes.”
Nagesh: “Why is this topic important to you?”
Client: Silent for a long time, looking down dejectedly …
The client never came back for a second session. Following the ICF guidelines on direct communication, I asked the client twice and even clarified the specific topic she wished to explore in the coaching session. What had I done wrong? If I had been more culturally self-aware, I would have realized that the question, “Why is this important to you?” was devoid of empathy. A 2016 Harvard Business Review article noted that 76% of Latinos in the US corporate culture repressed their personas at work. To quote, “You’re always moderating yourself,” agrees a Latina executive, who feels Latinas “are always tagged with the emotional thing. They’re always told, ‘Calm down. You’ve got to be more cool. Be careful with your voice, be careful with your hands.'” Another executive noted that she felt like a pretzel constantly bending out of shape to adapt to the US corporate culture.
Culture matters. Culture is learned and shared attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors among a group of interacting people (Bennett, 1993). We can belong to multiple cultures based on our nationality, ethnicity, gender, class, sexual orientation, thought patterns, or how we manage conflict. As language is the way we learn and share our cultural beliefs, it becomes a cornerstone in effective coaching.
Instead of “Why is this important to you?” what if I had said, “Feeling like an impostor must be exhausting,” opening the door for the client to share her story in detail.
In the U.S. today, there is an increased appreciation of diversity, equity and inclusion in both profit and nonprofit organizations. A recent LinkedIn search showed 2000+ Chief Diversity Officer jobs. It is unclear, however, if professional coaches adapt their content and communication styles to be client centered.
In this session, we will investigate the role of culture in coaching, how we first have a deep understanding of our own cultural values and biases to effectively coach clients from diverse backgrounds and learn a few skills to be a culturally adaptive coach.
