President's Message

Hello Coaches & Friends,

Our chapter board and volunteers have been working diligently to provide meetings, programming, coach cafés and soon, a holiday brunch – all in the name of serving our coaching community. A beautiful new venue, the Town & County Club in Hartford, hosted our October chapter meeting. Special thanks to Steve Porcaro for providing a wonderful presentation on “Presenting with Confidence.” Hartford area coaches were thrilled to be close to home and attendees learned dozens of tips and strategies for speaking. If you want to be a part of a Coach Café in the area please let us know. Save the dates: next Hartford meeting will be April 25, 2020 and Holiday Brunch will be in Rocky Hill on December 14th from 10-12.

Member benefits are continually growing, even on the website. Once logged in, you get access to member rates for meetings, a forum platform for members to communicate with each other on an array of topics, and a membership directory to seek out fellow members.

Upcoming Events

STOP RESCUING:  START COACHING 


Donna Zajonc MCC

November 22, 2019
8:00 – 9:15 am EDT
Virtual Zoom Webinar


ICF CCEs: 1.0 Core Competency



As coaches, our passion to be change-agents may sometimes be confused with rescuing and saving others.   As a rescuer, we unknowingly disempower our clients and interfere with their development.  Attending coaches will experience immediate personal insights into rescuing behavior, and new awareness on how to shift into coaching ways of being, listening and taking action.  

Based upon David Emerald’s book, The Power of TED*, coaches will become more aware of their rescuing behavior when they rescue clients, and insights into how to stop rescuing and start coaching.   They will also receive strategies on how to challenge clients who rescue others. 

Takeaways include:

  • What situations "trigger" a coach and throw them into the reactive roles of victim, persecutor or rescuer that make up the Drama Triangle
  • Increased awareness of their unmet need that may be behind their tendency to rescue
  • Strategies on how to challenge clients who rescue others
  • How to focus on the positive roles of Creator, Challenger and Coach that make up the TED* triangle
  • Profound coaching tools and exercises to support a shift from drama to empowerment
