Register now for the October 12th FREE webinar "Emotions and Neuroscience Related to Coaching" presented from 12 to 1 p.m. (EST) by Marcia Reynolds, PsyD, MCC. 

Webinar description: Emotions drive behavior.  No emotion is a bad one; the full range of emotional expression is integral to human nature. In coaching, emotions often indicate something important hasn’t been said. It is critical the coach doesn’t react to the client’s emotional expression in a way that makes the client wrong for their expression. Coaches need to develop their own emotional self-awareness to respond with non-reactive empathy and use the expression to forward the conversation. When we allow for emotional expression, we allow the clients to fully show up in a way they may not be able to do anywhere else in their lives. This webinar looks at how to allow for emotional expression and then integrate the expression into the coaching conversation to help clients achieve their desired outcomes.

Nonprofit Spotlight: Nonprofit Spotlight: Dress for Success
Read this amazing story about Dress for Success Triangle NC (DFS) that includes how Darelyn "DJ" Mitsch, CEO, MCC, the CEO of The Pyramid Resource Group, Inc. , a corporate coaching company, and the first board chair for two terms following the founder Pat Nathan.

“I think each of us female executives, we have a way of giving — for some it’s time or energy, for some it’s money, and for some it’s serving in leadership roles,” said Mitsch. “Pat stayed in her role as both the president and the founder for the first two years I was on the board, and then the third year she asked if I would consider being the board president, and I said yes. At that point, if we could serve 1,500 women a year, that was significant. Now we serve 20,000 women.”

Individual donors and retailers in the area keep DFS Triangle stocked with professional clothes, handbags, shoes, and jewelry.

Beyond her commitment to women helping women, Mitsch had another reason for joining DFS: families. “I served for three and a half years on the board of Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina ,” said Mitsch. “One of the frustrations I had as a resource development chair was that the number of cases in NC for child abuse and neglect was the second highest in the country. What I realized is that when you help mom, you are potentially helping at least two children. So for me it became a really holistic story about impact in the community at large. This outreach has an impact on the family.”
