Molly Gordon: An Unsentimental Education
You know how some people's lives seem to follow a nice clean trajectory?
Not mine. My road kind of disappeared when I was 17 and my dad died, leaving my mom and eight children, of which I was the eldest.
Overnight, our storybook family turned into a poster-family for dysfunction and disaster. When my mom and the kids moved to San Francisco, I moved to Seattle.
Between the ages of 18 and 21 I learned to wait tables, serve cocktails, and manage an office. I also learned to party, which given my over-responsible childhood, seemed a reasonable facsimile of play.
The Love Interest
In 1974 I met and fell in love with Miles Yanick. I became manager of his architectural firm, and, thanks to the Boeing recession, got a rapid and thorough education in business management.
The Plot Thickens
Life went on. I worked hard and partied harder. I went back to college, almost completing my junior year before partying became a full time endeavor. In 1984, I entered rehab, and began graduate studies in life, the universe, and everything.
Grad School
I threw myself headlong into recovery, learning everything I could about addictions. I devoured books on psychology and spirituality and learned to see myself clearly, even when it wasn't pretty.
Over the next five years I had a variety of jobs, each of which added a piece to my crazy quilt resume. From word-processing to business planning to editing and layout, I gathered the skills that would one day make Shaboom! a reality.
When You're Skating on Thin Ice, You Might as Well Dance
In 1987 my lifelong fascination with knitting and sewing had spawned a part-time business creating wearable art. By 1989, we were out of debt, though by no means on easy street, so I did the logical thing.
I quit my job and opened Mollycoddles, a wearable art studio. You can see some of my creations in this personal album.
Self-employment proved to be the most challenging path I had ever walked. I made every mistake a person could make, and then went on to make some more.
Today, those mistakes, along with the rest of my checkered resume, are my primary qualifications for showing accidental entrepreneurs how to build businesses that fit just right.
Believe me, if I can do it, so can you.
From Wearable Art to Artful Living
In 1995 I closed Mollycoddles and started saying "yes" to people who, without encouragement from me, had been asking me to help them manage and market their small businesses.
I didn't know I was a coach until one of my first clients sent me a Newsweek article about Thomas Leonard, a pioneer in the field, with the note, "This is what you do."
When I found out about coaching, I could hardly believe what I saw. It was as though someone had designed a profession for which my "portfolio" past had been the perfect training.
Life Could Be a Dream...
Thanks to my checkered past, I'm able to draw road maps for other accidental entrepreneurs – people who love their work enough to risk working for themselves but who aren't particularly business oriented and who have a deep commitment to personal growth.
I love that everything I learn (and every mistake I make) serves this audience. From The Work of Byron Katie to Embodied Intelligence, ontological coaching to Process Work to integral theory and methodology, there is delicious synergy among my vocation and avocations.
These days TCP (TCP is short for The Charming Prince, which is what Miles is to me) and I live in Suquamish, Washington, with Bolivia the wonder cat and three hens: Viola Swamp, Miss Nelson, and Daisy Belle. We are blessed with two astonishing grandchildren (not to mention their parents), who live in nearby Seattle.

Patti Owen-Delay

I,
Patti Owen-Delay am a commitment to our oneness with respect for the uniqueness of each individual.
This was my declaration to my fellow students and teachers when I completed my formal coach training program in April of 2007.
Last week a coaching student asked me what it was about Newfield Network that brought me not only to the program (CPPM 2007) but to my job – Program Manager, Public Program, U.S.A. What is it about Newfield that I wanted to be a part of the company? - A great question.
I came to coach training because I wanted to “officially” be a coach. I wanted to help people see how they were standing in their own way to being whatever their heart and soul was calling them to be. I found along the way that I was that very person standing in my own way. Funny how that happens.
I came to Newfield because the conversations here are about something more, something bigger than just my own learning of a profession and acquiring of a skill set. The ontology of Newfield captured me. I want to be part of our world shift from just being inhabitants of the earth to acknowledging our oneness with each other and the universe. Sounds lofty – yet, I believe it is doable.
Back in the 1980s I was privileged to hear Mother Theresa speak when she was in Denver. A statement she made has forever stayed with me and reminded me that I can do my part. Mother Theresa said, “In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.” Even more, I assert that Newfield helped me see how I can not only do my part, but I can be my part.
There is a quote in the bedroom I share with Jim, my husband of 25 years. It reads, “Love is not something you look for. Love is something you become.” What would this world look like if we all became love? What would our place and relationship with the world look like?
My position as Program Manager, Public Programs allows me to use my experience, skill set and my passion in service of becoming love. I am a Newfield Certified Coach and have recently applied for my Associate Certified Coach. Interactions with and coaching of Newfield students is the act of becoming love – and the “whip cream” of my job. In my position for six weeks now, I am very pleased to have joined Newfield.
I come from a varied background; recently as an Executive Assistant in the library world, and a legal secretary in the District Attorney’s office. But truly the best professional experience I have came from being a stay-at-home, daycare mom for over a decade. Kids have been some of my best and most powerful teachers.
Although it is possible that my penchant for toys and playing has something to do with the profound learning I experienced when immersed in the world of the young. My eldest daughter likes to tell people that growing up in our house “my mom had more toys than us kids.” Not really true, but it was close. So if you are around and want to hoola-hoop or fly a kite, give me a call.
Jim and I have three grown daughters, Shannon, Jenni and Lauren. They are amazing women who I marvel at daily. Colorado has been my home for all of my years, except for two years in the mid 1990s when our family lived in Fairport, New York. I have always considered myself a mountain girl, but now after being near water for those two years, I miss the water. So now, I seek mountains and mountains streams and lakes.
Things that refresh my soul: hiking and just generally being in nature, time with my family and friends, reading, playing, gardening, cooking, traveling, and our dog, Bogie an 80lb German Shepherd mix.

Lynn Baskfield and Ann Romberg

Lynn Baskfield and Ann Romberg Instead of dancing in the moment, Lynn Baskfield and Ann Romberg are more often than not prancing in the moment. Both are certified coaches who use the coactive model with an added element: horses.
Baskfield and Romberg partner well together as owners of Wisdom Horse Coaching and as friends, blending their coaching styles and experience to bring transformational coaching methods to their clients. They work with highly functioning leaders who want to be more effective in their current work situations as well as those mid-life professionals who are looking to reinvent themselves in this changing economy. They also have an apprenticeship program for aspiring Equine Guided professionals.
Lynn and Ann are both experienced horsewomen. For six years they have been leaders in the Equine Guided Coaching and Education field. Experienced facilitators and speakers, both Ann and Lynn share their learning through presentations locally and nationally.
Though both women have a business mind and a creative streak, Lynn's creativity and Ann's strategic thinking provide a nice balance in the workshops and custom training that they do. Whatever the venue, the horses are the star facilitators of powerful learning experiences.
Ann and Lynn’s programs connect people and organizations to creativity and soul. They focus on authentic leadership, clear vision, and conscious action. Says one executive program participant, “Of all the learning and development experiences I've had in my life, the most powerful one was being with Lynn, Ann and horses.”
Ann and Lynn are based in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota metro area and do equine guided programs nationwide.

This exploration led Cindy to recently move to Crestone, Colorado, a small, remote community in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of south central Colorado. She coaches overlooking the vast San Luis Valley and San Juan mountains to the west. Cindy is learning that being a catalyst sometimes requires being at peace with starting things you don’t finish, having more questions than answers, as well as bucking the common culture in other ways. She recharges with daily hikes in the Great Sand Dunes National Park or one of many trails in the area and with the gratitude she experiences from being on the planet at this exciting time of change.
