Splitting time between Colorado and California, Nancy is a certified Master Integrative Life Coach with a myriad of coaching certifications specializing in shadow work, boundaries and reinvention. She is the author of the international best-selling book, Bigger Better Braver: Conquer your fears, Embrace your courage, Transform your life.

She is an avid hiker, biker, skier, yogi and pickleball player. She is passionate about my five-year-old Australian Labradoodle, Bliss. Crush your limiting beliefs and live you most authentic life. Set healthy boundaries and set yourself free. Shadow work-what is it and why does it matter? There is always a discrepancy between what we say we want and what we are experiencing. The answer lies in the disempowering beliefs and unconscious commitments hidden deep within our subconscious. Our subconscious beliefs continue to rule our operating system and get in the way of living our most joyful life. We tend to attract or be drawn to people that reflect back to us the things we believe about ourselves. Our inner critic guides us through the lens of “not enoughness”. To have the life we desire, we need to do the inner work of excavating those beliefs fro our childhood and replace them with new, empowering beliefs that reflect our adult goals and visions. Questions: What are shadow beliefs and how are they formed? How do our shadow beliefs keep us playing small? How do we uncover our beliefs? How do we use fear as a driving force for change? How to our shadow beliefs keep us from setting healthy boundaries. NOTES: -Shadow believes and shadow work -Overcompensation -How do you play with your shadow -You always get what you are committed to -Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (sp?) at 61 years old -Mental lessons learned from physical challenges -Fitness -Marriage reflections and awarenesses -Boundaries Business: Nancy Pickard Life Coach LLC Business Website: https://nancypickardlifecoach.com Business Email: nancy@nancypickardlifecoach.com Linkedin Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-pickard-771993a6/ Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/Nancypickardlifecoach Instagram Profile: https://www.instagram.com/nancypickardlifecoach/ Youtube Channel: youtube-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChIRgQALX2z1dFUp55g_fTg Freebie: A free chapter to my book. http://nancypickardlifecoach.com/free-chapter Quiz on Wow leaky are your boundaries? https://nancypickardlifecoach.com/take-a-quiz Also a free discovery call. https://nancypickardlifecoach.com/discovery-call-form/ 20% discount code to my new course- BBBSuccess Career Strategies and Tools for Achieving Your Greatest Potential Course https://genconnectu.com/course/a-bigger-better-braver-career-strategies-and- tools-for-achieving-your-greatest-potential/ Bigger Better Braver: Conquer Your Fears, Embrace your Courage and Transform your Life Media Kit https://nancypickardlifecoach.com/media-kit/

Cris is a Master Certified Coach accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a certified Psychosynthesis Life Coach, ICF Mentor, Assessor, and Coach Supervisor. She is also a Professional Certified Supervisor Counselor, with over 5000 hours of post-graduate training in many fields. She began her coaching career in 1986, driving her sled-dog racing team to regional and world championships level over the next 10 years. She moved into the helping professions in 2008 with an emphasis on training, gaining accreditation as an Educational Trainer in the field of Psychosynthesis counseling, and working her way up to Counselor Supervisor. She became certified as a Psychosynthesis Life Coach in 2016 with The Synthesis Center (Amherst, MA). This was a natural evolution for her. Psychosynthesis, developed over a century ago by Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli, M.D, is a psychology of the Spirit, a heart-centered transpersonal psychology which is generally considered the forerunner of Positive Psychology today. It provides a unique and powerful vision of the human psyche, leading to an understanding of the psychological elements and dynamics in play and how we can become the Observer-Director of our own inner world, developing true Self-Leadership. Cris' Psychosynthesis work as a coach trainer was initially with The Synthesis Center. In 2017 she co-founded Synthesis Coaching Associates (SCA), a Psychosynthesis life coach training and coaching services organization based in Easton, MD. She is the creator or co-creator of 5 professional coach training programs, including SCA's ICF-accredited 165 hour Transformational Psychosynthesis Life Coach program and the Green Coaching program of Ecopsiché, an Italian ecopsychology school, and has authored, co-authored, and contributed to journals, periodicals, and publications in the field of Psychosynthesis Life Coaching. While the basis of Cris' work is Psychosynthesis, her interests and background range from Indovedic Psychology to Neuroscience applied to coaching, including Psychoenergetics, Positive Psychology, Emotional Management, Heart Intelligence, EcoTuning, Transpersonal Ecopsychology, EcoCounseling, and more. Her approach to coaching is holistic and transformational at a transpersonal level, combining an acute awareness of the essence of her clients with an immensely practical outlook focused on achieving excellence and Self leadership. She runs both her coaching practice and SCA's live sessions from a mountainside property in the Italian Alps as well as worldwide via her online coach/training platform. -Love is contagious  -What is Psychosynthesis - The Science of Spirit -Coaching model and personality foundation for all -Dog racing challenges and lessons learned to bring to the challenges of life and coaching -Prepare, communicate, and sacrifice for success -The highs and the lows of life -Leaders are often loners -Space of silence  Business Name: Cristina Pelizzatti, MCC, PLC Business Website: www.syntegritycoaching.com www.synthesis-coaching.com Business Email: cris@syntegritycoaching.com LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristina-pelizzatti-6207a05b/

Born in India, I grew up with mind-numbing social contrast confronting me with every breath, and I still ricochet between dark despair and exultant wonder. As outside, so within - a hall of mirrors reflecting my own abundance and poverty, disarray and elegance, limitation and possibility. My life has been a journey of finding that place I call HOME, the still center, where I hold all polarities with simplicity and love. I believe we all have a similar search for home, where we can come back to our true selves. I dedicate my life to facilitating that journey for myself and for others. For more than a decade, my central focus has been to bring change into the world of children (new consciousness) through educational spaces and family life. I am the founder and Managing Trustee of a non-profit AURA (www.auraplace.org) ) that provides free education in India. I am also co-founder of Stones2milestones (www.stones2milestones.com), a for-profit that is changing the way children learn in India. After a successful beginning in education I was introduced to transformational coaching through a simple conversation with a friend. The profession seemed like a natural springboard for me and I have been hooked ever since. Today I have a thriving coaching practice and am a faculty for coaching with Leadership That Works (www.leadershipthatworks.com). My work is as diverse as the country where I was born. Since 2010 I have also been very active in the field of Organisational Development with an emphasis on Visioning, Leadership Development and Team Synergy. My deep spiritual core is brought to life in my coaching and facilitation style. I am known for my positivity, for holding and creating clarity – situational and conceptual, as well as for supporting compassionate action. I am versatile and creative in designing and approaching the exploration and learning. I am author of the book 99 Marigold Mornings - a book of prayer poems. (http://www.amazon.in/99-Marigold- Mornings-Prayer-Everyday/dp/1945621842) At present I am pursuing a certification in NVC and in Trauma Healing through Somatic Experiencing. I hold a degree in education and have training in best practices in education under the umbrella of Project Zero, from Harvard University. I have also undergone professional development in Emotional Intelligence, Appreciative Inquiry, Human Process Work, the Bay NVC Leadership Program and am a certified Hogan Personality Inventory Coach. “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed till it is faced.” James Baldwin At this disruptive time in history, we probably have more collective courage to face all that needs deep change, and we have more responsibility to make life giving choices. Before every powerful choice comes crystal clear clarity, and as coaches that is one of the greatest values we add to our clients – deep clarity. It is the bed rock of alignment and possible action. We can no longer work with the individual without addressing the system that surrounds the individual. Our coaching must bring in larger dimensions and finer nuances of awareness, especially with respect to the client's connection to their living world and how it includes or excludes them. We need to highlight the currently held lens on isms and understand the silent but ubiquitous presence/influence of social systems, in each moment of coaching. Acknowledging and holding this in awareness expands and matures the coach's presence and it opens more for the client to get curious about, which will lead to greater clarity, alignment and possibility for the client.

This week on The Coaching Show we interviewed Accomplishment Coaching Senior Leader Laura Fink, PCC.  Laura Fink is a Professional Certified Coach in individual, corporate, and group training capacities. She is a wife, a mother of two children, and an avid seeker of all things related to personal and spiritual growth. She specializes in working with high performers and perfectionist individuals in order to break free from the inner dialogue that drives them, in order to create a more empowering sense of self that will have them execute their goals and aspirations with precision and efficiency. Her approach contains structure without being formulaic. The coaching is intended to call forth her client's highest and best self and unique sense of leadership. She encourages her clients to stop surviving, and start thriving. Notes: -Keeping our hearts open -Not viewing each other as on opposing teams  -Laura's road to leadership and feminine leadership -Psychological vs Coaching Background  -Bring more compassion -Dehumanizing when we focus only on the end goal -How high performers often neglect themselves and their relationships -Control, control, control -Giving up control and the fear and control associated with it -Trusting and getting your needs met -A spiritual look at our needs

I am a Professor of Economics and Personal Finance at the Open University. I also lead a coaching program for developing Faculty academics. My coaching qualifications and accreditations include a Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring from the Institute of Leadership and Management, a Certificate in Coach Mentoring supervision and Associate Certified Coach status with the International Coaching Federation. My services include leadership coaching, financial coaching, coach supervision and financial wellness education. Academic life has changed a lot in the last decade or so. The pressure to teach well, publish in top ranked journals, win research grants and take on management tasks has led to a much more intensive working environment. Added to this, academics often see themselves – and are seen by others – in a powerful role where they dispense knowledge, wisdom, advice and answers. This can present a barrier to seeking help through personal and professional development. This is where coaching may be of tremendous service. Non-judgement and reflective inquiry help academics identify and overcome obstacles. The key here is that they take responsibility for setting outcomes and goals. The coach (academic manager/leader or external coach) acts as their thinking and accountability partner – but the action which leads to professional growth is decided upon and delivered by the individual academic. This approach creates a space where the academic can reflect upon what originally attracted them to the job – likely to include love of a subject area, the joy in sharing knowledge and the agency to engage in research and knowledge generation. On this episode of The Coaching Show, Christopher and Alex were joined by George Callaghan. George is a Professor of Economics and Personal Finance at the Open University. He also leads a coaching program for developing Faculty academics. His coaching qualifications and accreditations include a Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring from the Institute of Leadership and Management, a Certificate in Coach Mentoring supervision and Associate Certified Coach status with the International Coaching Federation. His services include leadership coaching, financial coaching, coach supervision and financial wellness education.

Jennie Antolak, president and co-founder of Learning Journeys, and Tirzah Marie Lewis, Director of Creative Development, lead a motley crew of engaging, intelligent, and fun coaches and coaching trainers representing all areas of business, non-profit, entrepreneurial, and educational arenas. They collectively provide a place where people learn and apply the true essence of coaching. There are no lessons on skillfully advising, artfully connecting dots, or keenly identifying blind spots for clients. Instead, they teach students how to trust the process of coaching and experience the true strength of the human spirit. In each class, Jennie and Tirzah demonstrate how coaching is the one modality which, if fully embraced, can magnify one's sense of agency and conviction. In addition, they faithfully teach the coaching competencies that help others reconnect to their inner resources by tuning into intuition instead of listening to experts outside of themselves.    Jennie and Tirzah have a combined 38+ years in the world of learning and development. Jennie possesses a degree in Communications, a Master's Degree in Organizational Development, a Coach Practitioner and Mastery Level Certification, a Narrative Certification, and is an MCC level certified coach.  Tirzah obtained her degree in Organizational Communications and holds both a Coach Practitioner and Narrative Certification. In addition, she is ACC credentialed.  While both Jennie and Tirzah value experience and education, many of their less recognized successes are some of their proudest moments. Antolak relishes and shares with anyone who will listen about being crowned champion of the Layfette Square Noodle Races. And then there is Tirzah's recent accomplishment-being awarded the Master of Pivoting; with the caveat of; most likely to lose her “Zoom Face” when disagreeing with the seemingly “simple answer”.  (Not everyone is as appreciates Tirzah's latest success, but it doesn't stop her from sharing either.)  Both Jennie and Tirzah are committed to upping their game by always learning, constantly pushing the boundaries, and continuously striving for more. They hope the next time they connect with you, you will be a part of this Learning Journey, and it will be you that has a story you can't wait to share.
