THE NEW CATCH-ALL?
As often happens, a new invention or profession is uncovered and it excites those of us looking for a new or different direction. Until recent years, the term ”coaching” was used in reference to training someone in a specific area or “coaching” an athletic team.
An exciting and much needed profession has arrived which is often confused with other specialties. In order to understand what the modern-day coach is, an explanation of confusing terms is helpful.
A Mentor is someone who speaks from experience, offers specific direction, sets no goals and does not charge a fee. A sponsor fits this explanation. Don't get sponsorship confused with Coaching.
A Counselor serves people who are in need of healing.
Coaching does not fix broken people. Coaching takes a healthy person to a higher level. Coaching is a partnership of equals. It is a one on one interactive relationship that helps people identify and accomplish their personal and professional goals faster than they can on their own.
The most creative people in an organization will often rise to the top, because of their positive inspirations and motivation. If you can solve a problem or develop a new product or approach that will sell, you will be recognized. Did you know that there is a billion dollar industry built around teaching people to be creative, transition through life development issues ? We will provide you with a process that will help increase your creative problem-solving abilities.

Testimonials
"Dr. Silvernail recently provided an invaluable resource to the Circuit 19 Child Abuse Prevention Planning Team. As one of the team’s goals, we wanted to ensure that all staff persons working with families were equipped to intervene in a positive and helpful way when they saw a family in distress. We wanted to make sure that employees are confident when offering help or resources to a parent with whom they come in contact. For example, a child care worker may see that a child is dropped off without a lunch now and then, or arrives in clothing that hasn’t been washed. Does this worker have the skills to inquire in a non-threatening way about the family’s ability to provide a nutritious lunch and clean clothes? Might this worker avoid saying anything, because it is an uncomfortable discussion to have?
We spoke to Dr. Silvernail about this goal, and she volunteered to design a training to meet this very need. The training “Equipping Families for Nurturing Lives” was developed to be self guided, so that employees can follow along on their own, or to be presented to a group by a facilitator. We have used the training many times since it was developed, and have had universally positive feedback from the trainees.
In developing the training, Dr. Silvernail has gathered a tremendous amount of pertinent, timely, and clear information for employees who work with children. In fact, the general consensus from trainees is that they want more!
In donating her time and expertise to the Child Abuse Prevention Planning Team, Dr. Silvernail has proven herself to be a community resource, a go-to person, and an expert in creating trainings that resonate with their intended audiences."
