Join ICF-RAC for our first Movies that Matter discussion where we will view The Shadow Effect created by Debbie Ford, Deepak Chopra, and Marianne Williamson.

On the fifth anniversary of Debbie Ford's passing, a previously unpublished manuscript of Ford’s was recently released.  At the same time, the issues presented in The Shadow Effect are still seen on the world stage and mirrored in how we are personally triggered by our coaching clients, our interactions, and the events around us. This movie shows how important it is to understand and integrate our shadows, both light and dark. The Shadow Effect highlights the influence of the shadow in our lives and the lives of our clients. 

Come grab a bag of popcorn and a box of candy and sit down with coaching friends to watch The Shadow Effect. Mindy Schrager, an Integrative Coach certified through The Ford Institute, will facilitate a shadow trick or two regarding your own shadows and projections.

The Facilitator: Mindy Schrager is an ICF ACC credentialed coach whose  focus on transformation and growth was fueled by her corporate career driving change and her own personal healing journey.  During her healing journey, she attended Debbie Ford’s life-changing Shadow Process workshop, which led her to become an Integrative Coach, certified through JFK University and The Ford Institute in Best Year of Your Life, Spiritual Divorce, Blueprint, and Courage Coaching.  She has certifications in other transformational approaches such as Voice Dialogue, Family Constellations, Systemic Dynamics in Organizations, Barrett Values, and NLP, among others.  Mindy blends these approaches with her 30+ year corporate career working for industry-leading organizations (Motorola, Fidelity Investments, IBM) driving quality and process change through cross-organizational collaboration.  Whether it is getting to the root cause of corporate dysfunction or shining the light on hidden patterns that keep us from flourishing, Mindy uses a systemic approach to support people to step into a new or expanded expression of themselves.

What if your inner critical voice is not mean but worried about you? What if this voice is actually powerless – and not really in the driver’s seat? What if by being with this voice in a new way, change could happen? Understand your inner critic so you can better support your coaching clients in understanding their inner critic.

This webinar will offer:

• Awareness of how internal criticizing happens for you and your coaching clients
• Understanding of what drives the Inner Critic
• Mindfulness tools and language for you and your client to be present and not identified or in discussion with the Inner Critic
• Steps for being empathic and compassionate with the Inner Critic from a deeper understanding of the process

Facilitator: Elke Ruggaber, ACC, is a native of Germany. Elke and her husband moved to NC in 1992, originally for a one year stay. After raising two sons and establishing her real estate rental business, it was time to look for what might come next in life. In 2013, Elke was introduced to Focusing - a mindfulness process and a learnable skill that allows us to be with our emotions instead of being the emotions. Just like teaching someone to fish instead of giving them a fish, focusing is a skill that will nourish you and others for a lifetime - a gift that keeps on giving. Out of a deep desire to share this gift with others for emotional freedom, Elke is now a Certified Focusing Professional through the International Focusing Institute and also an ICF Certified Coach.

PLEASE NOTE:  At the beginning of each meeting we will have a 10-15 minute summary and review of the book.  Even if you didn't have time to read the whole book, we will make sure you feel part of the club.

"Presentations are meant to inform, inspire, and persuade audiences. So why then do so many audiences leave feeling like they've wasted their time? All too often, presentations don't resonate with the audience and move them to transformative action.

Just as the author's first book helped presenters become visual communicators, Resonate helps you make a strong connection with your audience and lead them to purposeful action. The author's approach is simple: building a presentation today is a bit like writing a documentary. Using this approach, you'll convey your content with passion, persuasion, and impact.

• Author has a proven track record, including having created the slides in Al Gore's Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth
• Focuses on content development methodologies that are not only fundamental but will move people to action
• Upends the usual paradigm by making the audience the hero and the presenter the mentor
• Shows how to use story techniques of conflict and resolution

Presentations don't have to be boring ordeals. You can make them fun, exciting, and full of meaning. Leave your audiences energized and ready to take action with Resonate."

PLEASE NOTE:  At the beginning of each meeting we will have a 10-15 minute summary and review of the book.  Even if you didn't have time to read the whole book, we will make sure you feel part of the club.

"After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities. People with a fixed mindset—those who believe that abilities are fixed—are less likely to flourish than those with a growth mindset—those who believe that abilities can be developed. Mindset reveals how great parents, teachers, managers, and athletes can put this idea to use to foster outstanding accomplishment.

In this edition, Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and love—to transform their lives and your own."

If violent means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm then much of how we communicate judging others bullying racial profiling blaming finger pointing discriminating against others speaking without listening criticizing name calling reacting when angry using political rhetoric being defensive or judging who is good bad or what is right wrong with people could indeed be called violent communication

What is Nonviolent Communication 
Nonviolent Communication is the integration of 4 things 
1.  Consciousness a set of principles that support living a life of empathy care courage and authenticity Language understanding how words contribute to connection or distance
2.  Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance
3.  Communication knowing how to ask for what we want how to hear others even in disagreement and how to move toward solutions that work for all
4.  Means of influence sharing power with others rather than using power over others

NVC serves our desire to do three things 
1.  Increase our ability to live with choice meaning and connection
2.  Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships
3.  Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit
