Kristen and Mike sit down with Andrea Fleischfresser, an executive coach with over 20 years of experience in HR and coaching. Andrea shares her journey from working in Italy to building her coaching practice in the US, where she discovered that cultural backgrounds significantly influence leadership styles and workplace dynamics. Through her work with clients from diverse cultures, Andrea has observed how deeply ingrained cultural norms affect everything from communication styles to feedback delivery and meeting participation. She explains why some leaders struggle when relocating to different countries - not because they lack skills, but because leadership expectations vary dramatically across cultures. Whether you're managing a global team or working with colleagues from different backgrounds, this conversation offers practical insights to help navigate cultural differences and become a more effective leader.Highlights:Andrea's international experience in Italy shaped her understanding of cross-cultural leadership challengesCultural backgrounds influence workplace behaviors even for second or third-generation immigrantsAmerican workplace culture values individualism and task orientation, while other cultures prioritize relationships and collective decision-makingAmericans use "low context" communication (direct), while many Asian, South American and Southern European cultures use "high context" communication (indirect)What looks like disengagement to an American might be respectful listening in another cultureHistorical contexts (agrarian vs. hunter-gatherer societies) may have influenced Eastern and Western cultural valuesIn relationship-based cultures, trust comes from personal connection; in American culture, trust is built on reliabilityFeedback styles vary widely - some cultures are very direct, while Americans often use the "sandwich" approachLeaders should ask team members "How can I best support you?" rather than applying one-size-fits-all approachesUnderstanding your own cultural biases is essential for effective cross-cultural leadershipAbout Andrea:Andrea Fleischfresser, MCC is an Executive & Leadership Coach and Corporate Facilitator with 20 years of experience in HR and Coaching.

"Mastering the Art of Coaching: On Readiness, Supervision, and Growth." In this episode of the Arete Coach Podcast, host Severin Sorensen welcomes Clare Norman, a Master Certified Coach (MCC), author, and master mentor coach based in Brockenhurst, England. With over 25 years of experience in leadership and coaching, Clare specializes in executive coaching, leadership transitions, team coaching, and fostering coaching cultures within organizations. She is also the founder of Clare Norman Coaching Associates and the author of several books, including The Transformational Coach, Mentor Coaching: A Practical Guide, and her latest release, Cultivating Coachability. In this conversation, Clare shares her insights on coaching readiness, supervision, and the journey toward masterful coaching. Clare's path into coaching began during her tenure at Accenture, where she recognized the gap between leadership training and the practical application of learned concepts in the workplace. Witnessing the struggle leaders faced in implementing training-driven changes, she discovered coaching as a powerful tool for sustained behavioral transformation. Her research-based approach led her to champion coaching as an organizational development tool, earning her the self-appointed title of “advocate for coaching” within Accenture. Clare's journey toward mastery was gradual, transitioning from an ACC to PCC and ultimately to an MCC credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). She emphasizes the importance of supervision in this journey, highlighting how mentor coaching and supervision allowed her to unlearn ineffective habits, refine her skills, and deepen her presence as a coach. Key Insights & Takeaways 1. The Role of Supervision in Coaching Mastery Coaching supervision is essential for ethical, professional, and personal growth.It provides a reflective space to analyze coaching effectiveness, ethical dilemmas, and personal biases.Supervision helps coaches avoid common pitfalls and ensures they remain client-centered. 2. Coaching Readiness vs. Coachability Clare differentiates between “coaching readiness” and “coachability.”Not everyone is immediately ready for coaching; readiness depends on motivation, timing, and willingness to engage in deep thinking.Organizations should assess coaching readiness before assigning a coach to an executive. 3. The Journey from PCC to MCC Mastery requires significant unlearning, particularly around directive coaching tendencies.Key shifts include summarizing less, using the client's own words to formulate powerful questions, and focusing on depth over breadth.Effective coaching is about presence, patience, and helping clients slow down to gain clarity. 4. The Importance of Full-Body Wisdom in Coaching Coaching is not just about cognitive processing but also involves emotional and somatic awareness.Encouraging clients to stand, move, or explore metaphors can unlock deeper insights.Full-body wisdom integrates intuition, gut feelings, and physical awareness into coaching conversations. 5. The Intersection of AI and Coaching Clare acknowledges the rise of AI-driven coaching but emphasizes that human connection remains irreplaceable.AI can serve as a useful in-between tool for coaching clients but should not replace human coaches.Ethical concerns and ensuring AI remains non-directive are critical. Memorable Quotes “Hours of coaching do not a master make.” “Our job as coaches is to build the client's thinking muscles, not do the thinking for them.” “Supervision isn't about fixing; it's about refining and deepening our coaching presence.” The Arete Coach Podcast explores the art and science of executive coaching.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen. In this episode, recorded via Zoom on November 27, 2024, we are joined by Dr. Patrick Williams with an episode titled "Unlocking Coaching Mastery." Dr. Williams is a pioneer in the coaching profession, Master Certified Coach (MCC), and founder of the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT). Dr. Williams has been instrumental in shaping the coaching industry, serving on the International Coaching Federation (ICF) board and being honored as an inaugural member of the ICF Circle of Distinction. Dr. Williams' journey began in humanistic and transpersonal psychology, where he recognized a gap between traditional therapy and coaching. His passion for coaching, mentoring, and emotional literacy led him to establish a training school that has impacted thousands of professionals worldwide. Beyond coaching, his work focuses on metaphors in coaching, emotional literacy, and the power of silence in deep conversations. The Power of Silence in Coaching Dr. Williams emphasizes the importance of pausing and active listening. He advises coaches to resist the urge to fill silence and instead allow clients space to process. This approach leads to more profound client insights and transformation. Emotional Literacy vs. Emotional Intelligence While Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is widely recognized, Dr. Williams advocates for Emotional Literacy, which emphasizes not just understanding emotions but also expressing them in a meaningful way. His Emotional Literacy Academy provides tools for self-awareness, authenticity, and deeper communication. The Role of Metaphors in Coaching Metaphors help clients describe challenges and uncover solutions in ways that resonate deeply. Dr. Williams encourages coaches to listen for natural metaphors and explore their meanings rather than imposing interpretations. Mentorship, Legacy, and Lifelong Learning Dr. Williams discusses the importance of mentorship, continuous learning, and leaving a living legacy. He highlights the concept of "switch mentoring," where experienced professionals learn from younger individuals while imparting wisdom in return. As an author, speaker, and mentor, Dr. Williams continues to inspire coaches and leaders through his commitment to lifelong learning, curiosity, and personal growth.

The Power of Music in LeadershipIn a recent podcast episode, the host had an enlightening conversation with Susan Drumm, CEO of Meritage Leadership Development and author of the USA Today bestselling book, "The Leader's Playlist: Unleash the Power of Music and Neuroscience to Transform Your Leadership and Your Life". This episode delves into the fascinating intersection of music, neuroscience, and leadership, exploring how music can serve as a transformative tool for personal and professional growth. Susan, with over 20 years of experience in leadership development, has a remarkable ability to recognize and disrupt unproductive patterns in leaders, helping them build high-performance teams.Susan's book, "The Leader's Playlist", emphasizes the power of music in leadership. Leaders often face the challenge of achieving exceptional results in an environment characterized by rapid change and complexity. Many find themselves stuck in unproductive patterns that hinder their effectiveness. Susan introduces the idea that music can be a secret weapon in recognizing and disrupting these patterns. For example, she shares a compelling story about a chief marketing officer who struggled with feelings of exclusion. Through coaching, Susan helped her identify the root of this pattern, create a playlist that represented her feelings, and develop a new playlist that embodied her desired emotional state, ultimately improving her relationships with colleagues.Susan explains that music's ability to change emotional states is well-known, but its potential to help identify and transform limiting patterns is less recognized. Music activates all four regions of the brain, making it a powerful tool for personal development. By pairing behavioral changes with music, individuals can accelerate their transformation and achieve their goals more effectively. Susan encourages leaders to be intentional about their music choices, using it as a tool for state change and personal growth.

Hannah Finrow's journey to becoming a Master Certified Coach offers valuable insights for executive coaches. Her emphasis on authenticity and "being" rather than just "doing" highlights the importance of personal growth and self-awareness in coaching. Hannah's approach demonstrates that effective coaching goes beyond techniques and tools; it's about creating a space where clients can explore their true selves and unlock their potential. The podcast underscores the significance of listening and intuition in executive coaching. Hannah's practice of "pausing for intuition" and her willingness to ask seemingly unrelated questions based on her intuitive insights showcase the power of deep listening and trust in the coaching process. This approach can help executive coaches move beyond surface-level conversations to facilitate profound breakthroughs with their clients. Hannah's perspective on the "gap" in coaching provides a crucial framework for executive coaches. By focusing on the space between where clients are and where they want to be, coaches can help clients identify areas for growth and development.

At this time, the coaching industry is experiencing significant growth. The wellness economy is projected to surge from $5.6 trillion to $8.5 trillion by 2027. The rise in popularity of coaching has been heightened by global events like the pandemic, which sparked a collective realization about the importance of purpose and meaning in our lives. For those interested in enhancing their coaching mastery and credibility in the field, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) has designed a progressive system of credentials - moving from Associate Certified Coach (ACC) to Professional Certified Coach (PCC) to Master Certified Coach (MCC). This system is intentionally staircased from one level to the next based on the total number of client coaching hours that a coach has performed because coaching is a craft that requires practice to perfect. In this expanding market, an ICF credential serves as a way to enhance and legitimize your coaching skills. Not only that, with only 50,000 ICF credentialed coaches worldwide, this globally recognized independent seal of approval helps you stand out in an industry that is still largely unregulated, giving clients and employers confidence in your capabilities.

Dr Crosse details that she found this personal storm to be a major wake up call and decided to look inwards at how she was being more than what she was doing. It was this realisation that got her thinking that working with professionals is not only about what we know but rather who we areElizabeth explains the differences between professional (Horizontal growth) and personal growth (Vertical growth) and shares how her wish is to be a provocateur to have listeners consider different perspectives of growth. Elizabeth refers to horizontal growth as ”adding apps to our phone” where as vertical growth is more like “upgrading our system.”Elizabeth shares the ability to work with expertise is all about how we're managing relationships while being able to bring our humanity. Thereafter the skills and knowledge  is what enables us to have the type of connections and relationships  to work with expertise.Some wise words from Elizabeth Crosse:“if I've learned something, I can then do something differently””we don't have to agree with each other to be able to move forward”Listen to the full episode for so much more insights and ideas offered by this wonderful guest.About Elizabeth:Elizabeth is a Master Certified Coach (MCC) who works as a coach, mentor & supervisor.

She became a fellow of the CIPD, a Master Credentialed Coach with the ICF (MCC) & completed a Diploma in Coaching Supervision.

Welcome back to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen where we explore the art and science of executive coaching. In this episode 1179, we revisit a captivating episode recorded via Zoom on October 17th, 2022, featuring Dr. Vikki Brock, a Master Certified Coach (MCC), consultant, author of the seminal work "The Sourcebook of Coaching History," and mentor. Dr. Brock's extensive research and practical experience have made her a leading authority on the roots and evolution of coaching. Throughout the episode, Dr. Brock shares her remarkable journey from a successful 21-year career at Boeing to becoming a pioneering figure in the coaching world. Her passion for helping others led her to establish VB Coaching and Consulting in 1995, where she has since dedicated herself to advancing the field through her research, writing, and mentorship. Dr. Brock's groundbreaking work, "The Sourcebook of Coaching History," provides an in-depth exploration of the historical roots of coaching and the influence of pioneers from related fields. Her commitment to understanding the art and science of coaching, as well as her efforts to reawaken humanity through this powerful tool, perfectly align with the Arete Coach Podcast's mission to explore excellence in executive coaching. Her quote, "Coaching has an opportunity to reawaken our humanity," resonated with me and is the title for this episode. Vikki was closely involved with the early founders of modern coaching: Thomas Leonard and Laura Whitworth. Vikki was an early member of ICF (member #60) and since its creation in 1996 , she was one of the first coaches to receive an MCC from the ICF in 1998. She also was on faculty for the University of Texas at Dallas Coaching Certificate program, and taught for several coach training schools internationally. In this episode, we explore Vikki's journey into the coach field, her experiences in the growth of the coaching industry, and her passion for interviewing 170 coaching practitioners and scholars as the basis for her Sourcebook on Coaching History.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Natalie Lancer hosts a discussion on the role of coach development, self-awareness and the concept of self in coaching. Dr. Julia Carden presents her research on self-awareness, distinguishing it from self-knowledge and self-consciousness. Heather Frost explores the concept of self, drawing on her doctoral research looking at 25 belief systems, highlighting its complexity and the practical impact of understanding a client's concept of self. Dr Elizabeth Crosse details the three developmental strategies that emerged through her doctoral research: the craft, the being and the art of coaching. We examine: •     Why is self-awareness important for coaches? •     What is the difference between self-awareness and the concept of self? •     How are self-awareness, self-knowledge, and self-consciousness linked? •     What are the challenges involved in demonstrating competency vs capacity development? •     How can we utilise the coach's and coachee's self-awareness in coaching practice? •     What do clients' beliefs about self mean for how coaches tailor their coaching? •     How can the three underpinnings of concept of self: stability vs instability, thoughts of self as a unique expression of me vs the self as an illusion, and unity versus multiplicity, be used to generate a concept of self scale? •     How does understanding the concept of self increase the coach's self awareness of beliefs and bias? And how can this benefit coaching outcomes? •     What is the difference between Continuous Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) and Continuous Professional Development (CPD)? •     Why is it more helpful to think of coach development as a learning journey than a linear progression? •     How do we know what coaching development opportunities to invest in? •     What are some practical ways to develop self-awareness? Self-awareness enables coaches to forge deeper connections with clients and furthermore, it seems we can only take clients as far as we have gone ourselves. We discussed how a focus on preparing the self rather than content, allows coaches to trust their abilities and concentrate on other aspects of their practice. As we wrapped up the episode, the guests shared how engaging and reflecting in formal and informal professional and personal experiences have influenced their development. Our guests today are: Dr Julia Carden is an accredited Master Practitioner Coach with the EMCC, a Professional Certified Coach with the ICF, an accredited coaching supervisor and is a Visiting Tutor at Henley Business School.  Julia was an officer in the Royal Navy, and then specialised in assessment and development centre work, and Learning and Development.  She fundamentally believes that as coaches we must first, and continue to do, the work on self – because who we are is how we coach.  This approach is underpinned by her PhD research which explored the role of self-awareness in the development of the coach. She is a NLP Master Practitioner, an accredited Time to Think Coach, a Fellow of the CIPD, and is licensed to use a range of psychometrics.  Julia completed the Henley MSc in Executive Coaching and Behavioural Change in 2014.   Heather Frost is the Founder of People and Practice, Co-founder of Think Perspective, an accredited coach, Doctoral Researcher and Visiting Tutor at Henley Business School. She is a Henley accredited coach, an accredited Senior Practitioner with the European Coaching & Mentoring Council (EMCC Global), and an accredited Coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Heather has over 20 years of global experience coaching individuals, teams, leaders, and organisations for systemic behaviour change and development. With an MSc in Coaching & Behaviour Change from Henley Business School (UK) and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology (BPsych) with a minor in Philosophy from the University of Newcastle in Australia, she holds the Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching from Henley Business School (PCEC), and is also a Breakthrough Coaching Advanced Practitioner from WBECS (now coaching.com).  Dr Elizabeth Crosse is a Master Certified Coach (MCC) and works as a coach, mentor and supervisor. Her practice focuses on Continuous Professional and Personal Development.  This has evolved from over 30 years of involvement with the coaching profession and being a research practitioner interested in how coaches develop expertise. Elizabeth is passionate about lifelong learning. She has navigated dyslexia and dyspraxia to transition from an early career in education to becoming a senior HR professional specialising in people development before setting up her coaching-consultancy business, specialising in strategic leadership. Along the way, she became a fellow of the CIPD, a Master Credentialed Coach with the ICF (MCC) and completed a Diploma in Coaching Supervision. She achieved three Master's degrees (Education, Counselling Psychology and Coaching and Mentoring) and a Doctorate in Coaching and Mentoring.  Your host, Dr Natalie Lancer, is a Chartered Coaching Psychologist, and British Psychological Society (BPS) Registered Supervisor.

Welcome to the Arete Coach Podcast, hosted by Severin Sorensen, with an episode titled, "The Art of Coaching and Harnessing the Power of Client Metaphors." In this episode, recorded on April 12, 2024, we are honored to have Lyssa DeHart, a Master Certified Coach (MCC), Speaker, Author, and Coach Mentor. Lyssa is renowned for her expertise as an Executive Coach, Leadership Coach, and host of the Coaching Studio Podcast. Lyssa DeHart's transition from therapist to Master Certified Coach offers a compelling story of professional evolution, underlining the transferability of skills between helping professions. As a therapist, Lyssa refined her ability to listen deeply, discern patterns, pose transformative questions, and steer clients toward self-awareness, all of which have greatly enriched her coaching practice. This seamless skill transfer showcases how therapeutic expertise can enhance coaching effectiveness, especially in facilitating clients' journeys toward self-improvement and realization. Exploring the distinctions between therapy and coaching, Lyssa emphasizes that while therapy aims to help clients move from dysfunction to functionality, coaching targets individuals who are already functioning well but aspire to achieve higher levels of growth, performance, and fulfillment. Her own professional shift not only exemplifies the broader impacts possible in coaching but also highlights how coaches can empower individuals to author more impactful and meaningful narratives for their lives. This perspective offers a nuanced understanding of the complementary roles of therapy and coaching. A unique aspect of Lyssa's coaching technique is her strategic use of metaphors, a topic she elaborates on in her book, "Light Up, The Science of Coaching with Metaphors." By tuning into and exploring the metaphorical expressions her clients naturally use, she facilitates insightful and deeply resonant dialogues that significantly advance client understanding and development. This approach underscores the power of metaphors in communicating complex inner realities and sparking profound personal insights, an approach that not only defines Lyssa's coaching style but also serves as inspiration for others in the field. Beyond her direct client interactions, Lyssa is deeply committed to contributing to the coaching profession through mentoring, assessing, and providing thought leadership. Her efforts to nurture the growth of upcoming coaches, particularly those seeking International Coach Federation (ICF) credentials, highlight her dedication to enhancing the profession's quality globally. Her emphasis on the joys of laughter, the value of relationships, and maintaining an uplifting spirit in both personal and professional life further enriches her narrative, offering a holistic view of how joy and human connections are integral to successful coaching. Lyssa's story and insights not only inspire current and aspiring coaches but also reflect the profound, multifaceted impact of the coaching profession. Memorable quotes include: "I am a collaborative truth teller and thought partner who forms deep relationships that support my clients to grow past their limiting narratives so they can confidently excel at life, love, work, and craft a story worth living." - Lyssa DeHart "Deep belly laughs. I think that all of us need something that is for us, the thing that when life tilts on its axis will bring us back into balance." - Lyssa DeHart "Not my monkeys, not my circus. It reminds me, this is not my life right here that we're talking about. This is somebody else's experience and it's a journey they need to go on. So how do I hold that space?" - Lyssa DeHart The Arete Coach Podcast seeks to explore the art and science of executive coaching. You can find out more about this podcast at aretecoach.io.

Join us for this enlightening chat with Nihar Chhaya.*The upcoach podcast is produced by Ventures FM.*Episode Quotes:How Nihar got into the coaching worldI actually landed in this world largely because I was confused a little bit about my own leadership journey. So, I had went to college and graduate school in the nineties and took on a typical financial analyst jobs and strategic consulting and things like that. And then I went to Wharton for business school, and most of my classmates at that point were going to invest in banking or private equity or McKinsey, those kinds of companies. I really was interested in them, but I also felt it wasn't really speaking to what my strengths were and what my real passions were, which was around just learning more about people. And so, while I had the business acumen, one thing that always stuck with me was I wonder how this affects people who are working in companies. And so, I found myself almost following the herd into some of these bigger jobs. And then I found that I was struggling to understand politics at work, moving up the corporate ladder, if you will. So, I hired a coach. Nihar's one thing that get clients' resultsI think really what it comes down to is stepping out of my own comfort zone in the service of the client. Over the many years of learning to be a coach, I found, on one hand, you can get very comfortable thinking that you're the consultant in the room. You're the one that has to have all the answers. And I found that as I do work with senior executives at these bigger companies, a lot of these business leaders don't really know what they don't know. They focus on the logical aspects of business. So, it's very easy for coaching conversations to, kind of, stay in the realm of, okay, here's what you need to do to increase revenue. Here's what you need to do to decrease costs, et cetera. And while you can stay in that area, I found that I wasn't really serving the client in terms of transformative insight building. I had to evaluate myself what am I doing here in terms of really moving the needle for them? And so, even moving from questions, like, what do you want to do in the next quarter, to who do you need to be able to achieve those things? How do you need to show up? They're basic coaching questions, but a lot of times, I found myself unwilling to go there with certain leaders where I felt as if they might think it's too fluffy or they might think it's too soft. The big idea for me was really about saying to myself that if I expect my client to really step out of their comfort zone, I can also be willing to do that as well. And that creates more intimacy and trust for us as well.Difference between selling coaching and doing actual coachingA lot of times there's a dichotomy between selling your coaching and actually doing the coaching, the delivering. As I mentioned, sometimes, my clients don't really know what coaching involves. And so, if you just jump right into it and start having these, kind of, inquisitive conversations, they're not really there. On the other hand, if you actually just talk about coaching as if, Hey, you can get all these kinds of benefits and you'll get promoted by next year and this and that, that's not really also anything different than the typical kind of marketing jargon out there.So, I always find going back to the big idea for me, I have to be constantly on. I don't have to be talking a lot, I don't have to be the one dominating, but I have to be mentally on. I can't be passive in my own kind of complacency as a coach because what I find is that when I actually say to myself, you need to step in a little bit here, then it changes the dynamic a lot with people. And I found that, in moments, it can be easy to say, maybe I just want him to go down that road 'cause it's going to be a little bit awkward. But when I do, it generally pays off for both of us.Knowing how you can be an effective coachI think it's so important to be able to know what you can't do or what you're not going to be as effective doing. I've learned that as well. I realized, for instance, that I am probably better coaching people who are at the VP and up level just because I have more experience in that. And also I just find the problems that they're dealing with are things that I have a little bit more, maybe wisdom based on my work. But there's a lot of work that's out there with the early career folks, individual contributors, and first-time managers. And there's so many great coaches that do that work. So, what I also recognized was, okay, this is where I can actually help — tie align you up with better coaches that can do it. But it does take that wisdom to be, or at least that discipline, to be able to sit back and say, this is my lane, and I'm going to stay in that lane to be effective.Show Links:PartnerExecSubscribe to Nihar Chhaya newsletterNihar Chhaya on LinkedIn

People give and receive communication differently so we can't assume that when we say something to somebody else that it will come across as we intended. The coach needs to have knowledge and understanding about the background of each person.  The line between coaching, mentoring, consulting, and therapy are very fine lines. Coaches need to be aware of their own ego needs and offer other modalities only when the client will benefit. To know the client's needs, the coach should find out what is their pain, what is the cost of their pain, and what would be the benefit for them if they changed. They must decide whether they should invest in making that difference.     “It can be so easy to go on autopilot. Before we know it, we're just in there having a chat, giving them advice left, right, and center. . . . I think it's about staying aware of what we're doing, knowing that we're slipping in and out of these different modalities and contracting openly for that. ” —  Tracy Sinclair     Connect with Tracy Sinclair:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-sinclair-mcc-2934b21/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TracySinclairLtd/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/tracythecoach  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracysinclairltd/  Website: https://www.coachinginconversation.com/  Connect with Jordan:  For executives wanting a complimentary executive coaching conversation: jordan@jordangoldrich.com  Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/

Being where you are is tough when your personal vision is in the midst of turmoil. Can you relate? It's easy to become disoriented, discouraged, and paralyzed. But especially now, we need to be out and engaged. Both in conversations and productive work. With people and organizations facing turmoil. However, in order to be a sharpened tool, equipped with a strong grounding in who you are, you need a clear vision. Be here: Examine your personal vision (who you are, where you are, where the Lord might move you next) so you can bring your whole self to what you do. Establish a fresh, personal vision for the coming season so you can move from the here and now into your promised future. Envision having peace with where you are so you can find purpose and live out a vision that inspires others.   About Sackeena Gordon-Jones, PhD, MCC Sackeena Gordon-Jones is an executive and leadership coach, speaker, trainer and organization development consultant residing in Raleigh, NC.
