Your Business SIG Mastermind Co-Facilitators
Kim Gray, ACC, CMAC | Marketing Monsters Coach
When I opened the doors to my online business, I was confident that I could make it work. Only I found out that I had no clue how to build relationships online. I also discovered that I was scared to death of networking locally. That’s when the Introvert showed up. It took a few years for me to build up my confidence and credibility to stand out online. Local networking was another monster, but with more time and a few trial-and-error strategies, things changed. Marketing and networking strategies differ for marketing-shy coaches. Finding the right balance based on your needs and personality style is key. Then by creating a consistent schedule you can live with will enhance your online credibility and reach over time.

Alessia Nizzola, CPC
I have recently relocated in the area from Italy, where I studied Business Administration and Foreign Languages. I worked in an international banking group for more than 20 years, as a Relationship Manager for individuals and companies, where I learned the importance of trust in connections, direct communication and thought-provoking questions while deeply listening to my customer’s dreams for their future.
Coaching was love at first sight, in 2018. I started my training and became Certified Professional Coach with International Coach Academy, loving every step of my learning. Now I’m giving birth to my own business, full of wonder for what the life will bring to me, now and here.

The Four Stages of Psychological Safety (ICF Central Florida hosting)
Date:
CCEU: 1.5 CC
Description:
In 2021, organizations around the world are striving to achieve two goals: First, to create a sanctuary of inclusion. Second, to create an incubator of innovation. These goals can only be accomplished when leaders model and reinforce psychological safety to activate the full potential of people. Psychological safety refers to “an environment of rewarded vulnerability”. But psychological safety is not a binary proposition. It's a matter of degree. When leaders nurture psychological safety to the highest levels, individuals are able to climb the ladder of personal vulnerability and do four things:
1.Feel included 2. Feel safe to learn 3. Feel safe to contribute and 4. Feel safe to challenge the status quo
And when organizations progress through the 4 stages, they can, in fact, create sanctuaries of inclusion and incubators of innovation.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will receive a deep understanding of the concepts, skills, and behaviors that will help participants create high levels of psychological safety in their organizations to unleash and accelerate the development of their people.
They'll also walk away with LeaderFactor’s What is Psychological Safety? eBook and the 4 Stages Behavioral Guide
