Podcast Synopsis:<\/h6>\n

Jim Parker, a Master Certified Coach, Inspired Learning Facilitator, Professional Speaker and founder of The Mentor Connection, Inc. joins the show.<\/p>\n

I have been coaching for most of my life: first as a middle child, followed by being a business owner who coached employees, more formal training began in 1997 when I enrolled in Coach University. To enhance my coaching, I became a CPBA (Certified Professional Behavioral Analyst and a CPVA (Certified Professional Values Analyst) in 1998 which gave me access to some of the best personal assessment tools available. I received my MCC (Master Certified Coach) designation in 2006 after logging over 2500 coaching hours.<\/p>\n

After being in business for 16 years with moderate success, I realized that I did nothing but work, was divorced with 4 children that didn\u2019t really know me. I decided it was time to find out who I was. My journey of self discovery started with a 5- year sabbatical that took me to Spain, Greece, Italy and India. When it was time to reenter the business world, I was not sure what that would look like. I knew I would be authentic and self-committed to living a transparent life in all that I do. The Mentor Connection was incorporated, and my first business client provided me with the opportunity to develop my business and personal coaching skills while making a difference in his organization. Since that time I have worked with small businesses across the country, coaching them to success as they defined it.<\/p>\n
