How to Choose a Life Coach – A Panel Discussion in Portland Oregon
Posted on March 24, 2010 at 3:38 pm by: Terrene
What exactly is life coaching? How can you hire a coach? What can a coach do for you? If you live in the Portland Area and would like answers to your coaching questions, Zimmerman Community Center (ZCC), a not-for-profit organization with a mission to build community in the River District of Oregon, and Keen Footwear have organized a panel discussion to help you learn more.

Through strengthening of civic and spiritual life for residents of the region, the center aspires to be a ‘community gathering space for those who live, work and play’ in the River District. As part of the Center’s efforts to strengthen the community, they have organized a panel discussion which will examine life coaching – what it is, the benefits of using a life coach, and how to find the right life coach for you. The panel will be comprised of the following three coaches who will discuss how they can help you achieve personal growth and change, as well as provide real-life examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of life coaching:
Andrew MacDonald, Cor life Consulting
Jemila Kwon, Leap! Coaching
David Mullen, Global Strategic Leadership, LLC.
The discussion will be moderated by Nancy Davis of ZCC, and the panel will answer questions from the moderator as well as the audience. In addition, life and career coaching materials will be available, and all attendees will have the opportunity to win one of the free coaching sessions donated by the panellists.
The event will be open to the public on Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 from 7:00 – 8:30pm at Keen (926 NW 13th avenue, Portland). There is no fee to enter, however a donation of $5 – $15 is suggested. Registration can be done on the ZCC website or by calling 503.224.4636. All interested participants are encouraged to reserve your seat today.
If you live in the Portland Area and you are considering hiring a Portland life coach, this is a great, cost-efficient opportunity to learn more about the benefits of coaching. For more information about the event please contact ZCC at 503.224.4636 or e-mail Nancy Davis at nancy@zcommunitycenter.org.

Wow too bad I’m on the East Coast and not in Portland! Can you please, please, please record the discussion and post it online as mp3- or maybe videos on YouTube? I’d love to hear what people have to say? Or maybe record while it is going on and we can call in and over-hear??
