Stephen Coxsey, MA, PCC, is a coach trainer, mentor, and assessor with twelve years of experience coaching small business owners and ten years of experience coaching senior managers and emerging leaders in business and government organizations.

Meg and Steve will overview the importance of the coaching agreement for an overall engagement and how it sets up an expectation to have a clear agreement for each session. They will explore the components of a clear, workable session agreement, the challenges in co-creating one, and how we draw on other core competencies and coaching skills to overcome those challenges. They will call on the wisdom and knowledge of the group in an interactive exercise where we identify common difficulties in establishing the session agreement and use creating coaching approaches to overcome them.

Chapter News

Remembering Russ Yaquinto

We will miss the big, warm hugs that Russ Yaquinto had for all in ICF North Texas where he has been a member for nearly 20 years and served as a dedicated volunteer on the Ambassador team. He passed away in January.

Through the years Russ would often welcome members at the front door of meetings with his friendly smile and welcoming presence. He made a significant contribution as a coach in the UT Dallas EMBA program and he was known for his generosity, often providing pro bono coaching and insights for deserving organizations and individuals.

As an MCC and the Principal of The Change Connection, Russ was a human development specialist, inspiring ‘aha moments’ that enabled people and organizations to accomplish more. He was a memorable author and speaker, certified in Performance Intelligence, Myers Briggs, and Winslow Personal Dynamics as well as trained in brain-based leadership.

He was a part of the first Board in 2003 alongside our first official President Judy Womack. He also served on TACT (the Ambassador's Calling Team) for several years before taking on the lead role of this outreach program. He could have been the Forrest Gump of our chapter, had it not been for his amazing intellect and quick wit. Russ was everywhere: Prism, volunteer coaching initiatives, North Texas Food Bank... if there was a place to serve, Russ was often the first to raise his hand. He was always there with a huge, engaging smile and a willingness to help our chapter, its stakeholders and our community at large.

We treasure his passion, integrity and service of others, and our hearts go out to his wife Jan and his extended family.
