RECAP OF PROGRAMS: APRIL - JUNE
April 2017 - Coaching and The Core Quality Quadrant®
Kathrin M. Wyss
 Our attendees learned from Kathrin Wyss's interactive program, Coaching and The Core Quality Quadrant®, how the Core Quality Quadrant Model as a coaching tool helps clients navigate their strengths, pitfalls and challenges to best fulfill their needs in work and life. Kathrin explained the model in detail and how to best use it in one-on-one and group settings.
May 2017 - Creating Connection Through Conversational Intelligence
Kymberly Johnson
 We had an excellent turn out in Santa Fe for Kymberly Johnson's May program, "Creating Connection Through Conversational Intelligence.” Kymberly touched upon the power of "words creating worlds," and attendees explored an introduction to Conversational Intelligence, the basic underpinnings of the neuroscience behind effective and ineffective conversations, and specific speaking practices to create trusting and empowering conversations. Kymberly’s exercises resulted in thoughtful and engaging discussion about the quality of our interactions. Participants departed feeling introspective about past and future conversations!
June 2017 Summer Social - Coaching in an Uncertain World
 It was a small yet mighty group who attended the June Social at the beautiful Prairie Star, and it was the perfect, picturesque venue for a discussion on mindfulness and awareness! After mingling and a delicious dinner, Sidni Lamb set the stage for the evening with the topic of mindfulness. She reminded us that mindfulness is a practice, and she taught the attendees "straw breathing" as a technique to manage stress and cope with our own feelings surrounding discomfort and uncertainty. John Ledwith followed with a thoughtful and engaging experiment that opened participants to the differences in coaching for awareness as opposed to coaching for change. The evening closed with a group debrief of the experiment and attendees' takeaways of what they'd been reminded. The insights were tremendous, and most, if not all, departed with the feeling of connection and community that is ICF New Mexico!

VALUE OF COACHING CORNER
Beyond the Wall of Resistance by Rick Maurer
Reviewed by Jillian Gonzales, MA
About a year ago, Elizabeth Roll, presented a Cycle of Change model at one of our monthly programs. The resource she utilized and encouraged us to read was Beyond the Wall of Resistance, by Rick Maurer. I finally contacted Rick, bought the book and read it. I am so glad I did and wish I had done it even sooner! The description of the Cycle of Change and the relationship to the Gestalt Cycle of Experience assisted me in integrating that knowledge of which I have some training.
The next element that kept me engaged is his style of writing. It is personable in a way that gives respect to the topic and highlights the harsh realities of working in organizations under the guise of supporting change. This makes the deep content palatable and made my ability to recall the concepts and ideas come with ease. Clearly, Rick has a lot in common with Elizabeth.
Throughout the book Rick Maurer provides details on how to as well as resources to utilize outside of the reading. The author provides descriptions and strategies for working with resistance at various levels from confusion to malicious compliance to sabotage. All of these may occur during change and they can be understood and addressed with the appropriate level of response. Rick Maurer is generous. Once I contacted him about purchasing the book he was quick to provide more resources. If you are curious as well I recommend these resources to enhance individual and group coaching work.

MEMBER HIGHLIGHT
 Susan Junda, MBA, PMP
Susan A. Junda, MBA, PMP, spent 17 years in corporate America working for corporations including Digital Equipment Corporation, Ford Aerospace & Communications and Lockheed Electronics. In her latter years as a corporate employee, Susan became an expert in project management. With time, her expertise in project management led to a passion for team development which inevitably incorporates change management for the sake of improvement in organizational culture. In 1995 she founded Dynamic Solutions, a consulting company that provides facilitation, training and coaching services in the areas of project management, team development, and strategic planning. When posed with the question, “What do you do?”, Susan describes her work as teaching people to play well together, get something done, and like it. In her work with teams, Susan discovered individual coaching was yet another tool that benefitted the process of organizational culture change.
Susan gets her ontological approach to coaching from the Newfield Institute and mostly works with executive staffs to offer personal one-on-one coaching of managers and/or their employees in how to be more effective in how they show up, manage their stress and get work done through others. She was drawn to the founder, Chilean refugee, Julio Olalla, of the Newfield Network and sought to learn from his philosophies. Though working mostly in an executive setting, Susan recognizes that “wherever you go, there you are,” meaning who we are as people shows up in every aspect of our lives, and it is impossible not to address that in coaching.
Susan is originally from New Jersey and came to New Mexico via Colorado, though she travels nationally and internationally to meet the needs of her clients. She enjoys yoga, meditation, journaling, reading and watching movies. She has two children, and now especially enjoys spending time with her three grandchildren.

MEMBER HIGHLIGHT
 Matilde Machiavello
Matilde Machiavello’s path began in Uruguay, raised from adolescence in Buenas Aries and most currently landing in New Mexico. Thanks to the shared experience of the Tango.
Matilde’s journey into coaching began many years ago as a teacher looking for tools to help students in the process of learning a foreign language. The work by Jan Ravel, In Your Hands, she states is where the magic happened and she wanted more.
“Everything I do I explore it for myself first. Like Hansel and Gretel I followed the crumbs.” Coach training began with Richard Bandler and John Grinder in Nero Linguistic Programming (NLP).
NLP describes the way you can encode a pattern in your brain that successful people follow. Through research and analysis Bandler and Grinder originated strategies to bring forth inner talents. This work states that you can reprogram our self. To learn more, Matilde recommends searching for Joseph O’Connor Andrea Lages Coaching with NLP. And of course she is more than willing to share her own knowledge and experience.
Team coaching inspires her the most when working with clients. What she likes about team coaching is that you can do this work with any type of group. The first thing she does with a group is build community. “I need to know who I am speaking with, building trust.”
Matilde has another passion and that is being a professional Storyteller. I asked for an example and in that moment I was taken away into a narrative. She is part of the New Mexico Guild of Storytellers and presents in New Mexico and Colorado.
Being a part of community is very important to Matilde. She sincerely looks forward to getting to know ICFNM community. “I want to learn the cultural differences to avoid misunderstandings. I want to share tools with each other.”
Thank you Matilde we look forward to getting to know and learning from you as well.
