PARENT COACHING INSTITUTE SPONSORS WORKSHOP ON CULTURE

Workshop Explores How Our Culture Affects Us and the Communities We Live In

BELLEVUE, WA — (October 16, 2008) — The Parent Coaching Institute (PCI), a nationwide non-profit, is sponsoring a one-day workshop open to the community on November 7, 2008, titled "What Makes Us Able to Say 'I'm At Home'?" which explores key ribbons of culture that run through our daily lives. Workshop presenter is Roni Stein, Ed. D., PCI Certified Parent Coach® and PCI Instructor. A $95 fee includes continental breakfast, lunch, snacks, and workshop participation from 8:30 am until 4:00 pm. The workshop will be held in the Conference Center at the Bellefield Office Park in Bellevue, Washington. To register, please call Pam at the Parent Coaching Institute at (425) 401-1519. Directions will be sent upon registration, with registrations being accepted before November 4th.

Members of the community are invited to join PCI Certified Parent Coaches® and PCI Students at this workshop for a conversation that will focus on how these unique dimensions of culture impact us and the communities we live in. Certain kinds of relationships and environments, ways of approaching change, and decision-making are all impacted by one's cultural background. Participants will explore the classic work of Geert Hofstede to shed light on the many unexpected culturally-based issues that are important to understand in appreciating others and drawing out the best in them. There will be great potential for "aha" moments.
