duanna1.jpgToday’s Program features Duanna Pang-Dokland, A coach who always coaches face-to-face. In fact, like the Doctors of old, Duanna makes house calls.

Duanna tells an inspiring story of courage and flexibility. Moving to a new country, knowing noone, she started her coaching practice by going to networking events and meeting people.

While most of the coaching industry was talking about coaching by phone, she learned that the people in her community wanted their coaching face to face. So, she went with it and found that there are benefits to seeing her clients environments. She also learned that she can deliver a coaching session in a Starbucks!

Maya Balle
Here’s what’s happening on the CoachVille Caffeine program Tuesday, 1/22 -

I will interview Coach Maya Balle (of Liz Walker Journey Productions) on the topic of transformation. We’ll talk about how she survived the great Tsunami and how she then got involved in a film project about transforming the lives of women in Sudan featuring ths story of Rev. Dr. Gloria White Hammond.

Maya is on the leadership team for the New England ICF Chapter and is just an all around amazing person.

And also a bit of Coaching News…
A story in the Training Journal online describes a fascinating new coach training method “using drama-based training to show its managers how to incorporate coaching into their management style, provide feedback and help coachees to improve their performance”. Actors are brought in to play the role of clients so the coach trainees can practice what they are learning.
I think it is fascinating. I love the idea of practice.  At the same time, a BIG part of coaching is using your intuition to see what is REALLY going on beneath the surface.  I wonder how that works with an actor? Here’s the link:
