Shirley holds a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in criminal justice. Her coaching certifications include Certified Mentor Coach (CMC), Master Certified Coach (MCC), and IAC Certified Coach (IAC CC). As a member of the IAC Certifier/Examiner Committee, she was one of the three original coaches to earn IAC’s Certified Coach designation. Shirley has been active in IAC since it was founded, originally focusing on Advanced Coaching Models and Systems. In addition to her role on the BOG, Shirley serves as Chair of the Certifier/Examiner Committee and is working with the certifying team to bring Step Two of the IAC Certified Coach exam to the full membership. If you are wondering why someone in the very small town of Frederick, SD, has Coach Miami as her business name - wonder no more! Shirley moved to Frederick 21 months ago after years of living and coaching in Miami, FL. Looking back to the inception of coaching, Shirley recalls that “twenty years ago coaching was an executive perk, available only to corporate executives and leaders.” As a pioneer in the field, she says coaching emerged as a discipline with distinct models, principles, concepts and techniques “thanks to the brilliance and leadership of the late Thomas Leonard.” She believes that the “diverse business and professional backgrounds of new coaches enriches the profession and makes coaching available to the ordinary person.” She views coaching research as the most exciting current industry activity and says it “is helping to distinguish the work we do as a true profession.” She also reminds us that, “while coaching is not yet a household word , substantially more people are aware of it through the best selling books of Cheryl Richardson and Laura Berman Fortgang, as well as extensive favorable publicity in the popular and business media." Shirley invites anyone, anywhere who wants to learn more about coaching to join her free Coaching Salon™ conference call the first three Mondays of every month at 1 pm Eastern Time. Just dial 1-646-519-5860 and enter pin #2564. The Salon lasts an hour, and you can participate in live coaching, ask questions, and share your thoughts with other coaches. (www.coachingsalon.com)

Ruth Ann Harnisch, president of the Harnisch Family Foundation, spent the better part of three decades as a journalist who delighted in provocative conversations. Now, as a philanthropist and personal coach, she still enjoys a meaningful exchange. These days, however, the subject is likely to be money. Her coaching practice centers on wealthy people and nonprofit executives who want more clarity, focus, and satisfaction. After retiring from her journalism work as a television news anchor, radio talk-show host and newspaper columnist, Ruth Ann became a national advocate for philanthropy. She serves on the board of More Than Money, a nonprofit organization for people with significant financial resources who want to explore the impact of money in their lives while acting on their highest values. She's also collecting stories of Thrillionaires, people who know the thrill of giving.
