ALL TIME ZONE FRIENDLY - FIND OUT MORE!

A CALL TO ACTION November 3, 2008

Dear Friends,

Today I visited with the mother of a pregnant 16 year old high school student… who just told her family about it. We hugged and cried for a long time. I see so much pain, anger and suffering in parents, their teens and their families. My steadfast commitment to providing a safe, confidential environment for solutions is what keeps me going as a full time, certified family, teen and parent coach. Our love and service is needed.

Join me in the life-changing calling of becoming a Certified Family Coach. We are so desperately needed everywhere. I am calling you forth as I have been called forth. If the time is now for you or for someone you know to join our elite and skilled rank of certified coaches, currently working in 15 countries – GET INVOLVED!

January 28, 2009 will ring in our ALL VIRTUAL ADVANCED COACHING COURSE.

This means that many of you who wish to serve in your communities but had found it hard to join us for the on-site part of our 10 month coach training program can now participate. Because of this decision, we are keeping the 2008 price intact for 2009 courses, rather than the large increase we expected. We hear you – the economy is tugging at us in all countries, coaching is needed more than ever, and our collective flexibility is needed.

TAKE ACTION! Email Katy in my office at katy@newgenerationsinternational.com to receive an application and/or set up an appointment to discuss your coaching future with me. Pass this link on to someone who might want to join you in the course.

Check out our Success Stories of what impact our coaches are having with their clients. I am honored and humbled by the caliber of our community of Certified Family Coaches and the impact they are having all over the world.

Onward!

Diana Sterling (formerly Haskins), Founder and CEO

For additional information and background see http://www.parentascoach.com/Meet_Diana.html

The idea of coaching young people and their parents had its inception in 1999 when Diana had an aha! moment- that perhaps professional life coaching with adults could be 'transposed' to working with teens, parents and families. After working with many teens at a local high school and experimenting in the daily laboratory of home life with her own son Jordan, Diana came to a prophetic conclusion. Teens and other young adults could be well served by adults who chose to interact with them using a professional coaching perspective. Later, with the addition of a second "son" (an exchange student named Micky), the home coaching lab moved into high gear. Diana's "experiment" so improved things in her own home she decided to share her parenting-coaching insights with adults who live and work with young people.

The Advanced Coaching Course and the Parent as Coach Approach is the result. The focus is on educating parents, teachers, and others who care for the next generation to coach young people. Diana's award-winning handbook, The Parent as Coach: The Seven Ways to Coach your Teen in the Game of Life , has been read by thousands of people all over the world who are now using coaching skills as a way to improve their relationships with teens. It has been translated into Spanish and Korean and receives international distribution through ebooks and audio books as well.

The Advanced Coaching Course is the result of hundreds of coaches, educators, therapists, and other human service professionals asking "What is the Parent as Coach Approach and how can I use it in my work?" Diana and her team of seasoned educators will bring to you, the professional, proven tools and techniques for working with parents, teachers, other teen caregivers, and teens themselves.

Diana has been a devoted member of the International Coach Federation since 1999 when she received her Professional Effectiveness Coach certification from New Ventures West. With a prior track record as a successful business owner and former film and video producer, Diana founded New Generations International shortly thereafter. As a training and coaching company, New Generations International is the parent organization to three divisions, Parent as Coach, The Academy for Family Coach Training and Vision In Action, a business development program for coaches and other service-based entrepreneurs. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Drama from San Diego State University and is currently working towards a Master of Education degree at Portland State University. Diana is a Certified Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner, having studied at Life Design International in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She serves as a lead Trainer for all Family Coach Training courses, bringing her insights from a diverse background of trainings and accomplishments.

Diana is featured as a co-author along with Tony Robbins and Dr. Wayne Dyer in the just released WAKE UP:Live the Life You Love/The Power of Team and is also featured in Body for Life for Women by Pam Peeke. She is a member of The International Speakers Network and is a frequent contributor to radio shows worldwide, as well as a sought after speaker.
