You
all know that I have been sustained throughout my life by three saving graces -
my family, my friends, and a faith in the power of resilience and hope. These
graces have carried me through difficult times and they have brought more joy
to the good times than I ever could have imagined.

Research
shows that our fast changing world is creating increasing challenges and stress
for most of us. Coaches who develop their resilience coaching competencies
become more available and are more equipped to help a client better understand
their own strengths, gaps and evolve their resilience. We look forward to
participating with you in this highly experiential program and deepen our
coaching mastery.

On a
personal note: I am humbled and honored to have received the ICF Midwest Region

5 years.
Our coaching community rocks!
