It means focusing your awareness on the here and now. Imagine being able to give your full attention to your client? How would that make them feel? The more important question is: How can you cultivate that capacity in yourself? We look into the science behind the term Mindfulness and the ability to be present in this session. We also touch on MBSR and MBCT and how you can utilize them in your coaching work.

"I am very impressed with our ICF CEO. She is personable, knowledgeable, strategic. I like how she is leading the organization and the ideas for growth and continued development. The content was interesting. I left feeling more proud to be part of this wonderful organization."

Lorraine Munoz

Rony Gruber

Debra Balamos

Coach, ICFL

"Mary was lively, knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and helpful. I'm glad I set up an appointment to learn more from her and about her programs. Marketing (using the term broadly) is an area I need help in. Her handouts were very helpful and will keep me working on that intro."

Mary Makarios

"I'll be much more aware of the impact of people, money, time and of course myself, and how I am triggered by negatives and change them into positives. Great to use with clients as well."

Diane Allen

Strategic Leadership Academy LLC

"Wow! The whole presentation was outstanding and packed with usable information but the best was the necessity of purposeful self talk, since humans average 77 percent of non-positive self talk. She sparked my desire to be more mindful about what's happening upstairs, to take charge instead of letting the children take over."

Marci Moore

"While Self-Talk isn't new to me....love the fresh approach she has taken and the neuroscience to support."
