2018 Capital Coaches Conference
The 14th Annual Capital Coaches Conference (CCC) is the leading North American conference for coaches and allied professionals. The International Coach Federation (ICF) Metro DC Chapter, the CCC’s host and organizer, brings together more than 400 coaches, educators, and thought leaders, to explore change-making topics in the coaching profession.
Freddi Donner will be co-hosting Session G: Teams – A System with Many Voices
Description: Coaching teams is exhilarating, chaotic, unpredictable, challenging, and enormously rewarding. It’s also more complex than the one-on-one dynamics we know from individual coaching. A team is a whole, and it is the parts; it’s the culture and the voices in the culture. This session explores the impact from both perspectives and provides a practical orientation and tools for working with teams using those two perspectives. Join Phil Sandahl and Freddi Donner as they share their experience and experiential activities to help teams bring awareness and action to their team coaching.

Creating Sustainable Performance by Building High Performing Teams: Discover How to Maximize Strengths and Minimize Detailers
Want to decrease your workload? Learn how to close the gap between average teams and high performing teams, where problems get solved with minimal participation from you.
There is no “I” in team. My boss, my desk, my project, my client….how do you get the me/my/mine attitudes to move to more systems thinking and more interdependent than co-dependent (on HR)?
First build awareness about what makes a great team. Learn about 14 features that contribute to high performing teams, and contribute to a conversation addressing the 14 attributes.
People are hired as individuals and then expected to assimilate into a team with little or no direction (once the orientation is over). Or, the team has been in place for many years and what use to work, is no longer working. Teams are the key force to business success, yet so much time is still dedicated to individuals.
Join in the discussion on addressing teams’ strengths, team derailers (including toxins, agenda’s and politics) and how to create sustainable teams performance. Learn and share some of the hidden fractures that erode team performance, and how to diagnose and prescribe “treatment” so that you can focus on more strategic initiatives.
When: September 8, 2016

Freddi challenged attendees to turn everyday interactions into opportunities. She focused on practical, real-world objectives to help you to advance your job search prospects, business goals & and long term business stamina.
Be brave stand out! At the root of every job search is an invisible force field: it’s called play by the rules or maybe it’s called fit in. Act professional. Dress the part. While some of this advice is essential to making lasting first impressions some of these rules need to be broken in order for you to get noticed.
During this discussion, led by our guest facilitator Freddi Donner, will share some novel ways for you to stand out online and in the interview. We will reveal some creative ways for you to demonstrate your brand promise before you ever get the job!
Freddi will review the 3 Cs of standing out: Courage, Creativity, and Consistency.
Standing out takes Courage, something we need to develop, and few of us are born with.
Creativity- you will come home with one new idea on how to attract attention to your offer/talent. Consistency is where you demonstrate your brand promise, and your character.
Being in a successful business takes stamina! It takes, discipline, resilience and faith. It also requires focus. When we lose focus, and operate without our faith, failure is likely to follow.
This is part of Freddi’s history and she shares how the closing of a business got her to re-focus on what was important. Learn how one entrepreneur went from failure to focus and the blessings that have emerged as Freddi re-engaged her Faith in the Lord with her business objectives. Learn how you can develop your business stamina and reap the rewards of a God centered service.
The most effective leaders know how to relate to a variety of personality types. Learn some tips for connecting, managing and motivating others.
