Bellevue, WA (PressExposure) May 22, 2010 -- The Parent Coaching Institute (The PCI™), the leading parent coach training program in the nation, will host Dr. Robert Quinn for a workshop on June 26 at the Four Points Sheraton in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Quinn, a professor of organizational development at the University of Michigan, will speak on his innovative theory of Advanced Change Process. He will focus on what constitutes a deep change process and how participants can apply those concepts to a coaching relationship with moms and dads.

Advanced Change Theory concepts, particularly from his books, Change the World and Lift will be examined in this dynamic interactive workshop. His work is used in the Parent Coach Certification® training program through the institute. The training curriculum and model is based on a synthesis of leading-edge research and well-established strategies for helping parents achieve positive outcomes. Kay Kimball Gruder, a PCI Certified Parent Coach®, says this about the program: "When I found the PCI™ it was as if I had found a secret path that would serve to connect my educational background, work experiences, community involvements and parenting beliefs. Little did I know that this path would also lead me on a transformative journey of my own; connecting me with others who shared a desire to create a cultural shift toward more mindful parenting, launching my own parent coaching business and inspiring me to apply parent coaching techniques and principles to my work in higher education. My PCI™ training was both practical and inspiring and it is perhaps the single best educational experience that one could ever have."

The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and many other local media have reported on The PCI™ and the ever-growing popularity of parent coaching, which is rapidly gaining esteem as a cost-effective and time-effective alternative to counseling for busy parents who want support on wide-raging issues, such as sleep habits, divorce and blended families, single parenting, teen development, navigating school systems, balancing work and life, taming temper tantrums, and more. Dr. Quinn's Advanced Change Theory Workshop on June 26 will address these issues. For more information, please contact The Parent Coaching Institute at 425-401-1519.
