The Pyramid Resource Group offers its master-level coaching programs and tactics around the globe.

Cary, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/21/2007 -- The Pyramid Resource Group, Inc. a globally recognized executive coaching firm headquartered in Cary, N.C., has extended its coaching programs to an ever-growing list of countries overseas. Now it's adding two more countries to the list: Russia and the Ukraine.

Pyramid began its international presence in 2001 when they conducted a series of coaching workshops in Mexico and Brazil. In 2002, it offered a certification course in Switzerland on its proprietary team coaching program, The Extraordinary Game. Professional coaches from Germany, France, Switzerland and the U.K. attended.

To add to its international outreach, one of its master certified coaches, Marcia Reynolds, MCC, recently went on a two-week coaching trip to Russia and the Ukraine as a representative with the International Coach Federation.

"My coaching focuses on how our mental and physical states affect our overall work performance and centers on how managers can coach their employees to stay on track and achieve peak results," says Reynolds, whose been a coach with The Pyramid Resource Group since 1999 and is past president of the International Coach Federation. "One common denominator among all ethnicities and cultures is that our mental and physical tendencies naturally alter our work performance, but there are effective ways to neutralize this."

Her first stop was Moscow, Russia where Reynolds presented a seminar at the Russia Coaching Conference, "Coaching for the Health of Your Organization". Then, Reynolds taught a 2-day class for VimpelCom, the largest telecommunications company in Russia. She concluded her trip in Kiev, Ukraine, focusing on emotional intelligence.

Coaches at Pyramid see the value in extending their coaching services overseas to help foster greater teamwork among companies whose employees are geographically dispersed. Pyramid has conducted several coaching workshops and training programs for multinational corporations in England, Brazil, Mexico and Canada.

"We're always looking to extend our coaching programs to other parts of the world," says Barry Mitsch, cofounder of The Pyramid Resource Group. "And we're seeing a growing demand for our services especially from corporations overseas that have a presence in the U.S."

Seven Ways to Experience Grace Instead of Guilt By D.J. Mitsch

Cary, NC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/11/2007 -- D.J. Mitsch, MCC, CMC is cofounder of The Pyramid Resource Group. A pioneer in the professional coaching field, D.J. recently launched a large coaching initiative for women. With more than 15 years experience, D.J.'s conversational coach-approach has worked with both CEOs of Fortune 500 companies and top talented individuals to reach new levels of executive leadership and achieve great success. She is currently writing two books on women and leadership based on her observations.

As a working mother for the past 18 years, I have learned a lot about accepting that I cannot do everything all at once. Women tend to blame themselves for not being superheroes and we often find ourselves apologizing for missing important events concerning our work, family and friends. Here are some personal things I do, and have shared with my executive female clients, to experience grace instead of guilt.

1. Meditate in the bath tub. Indulge in pleasure by soaking in a bath of sea salts as you take time to enjoy Mother Nature's best remedy. Empty your busy mind and consider the things that are most important to you in your life.
2. Write your thoughts in journal. Keep a journal by your bedside and write in it whenever you get the chance. The journal should be for your personal thoughts or to one day share with your children the memories of when they were growing up.
3. Choose what makes you happy. Sometimes dance recitals come first. The promotion is not worth missing your daughter's performance and watching her face light up. Taking a stand on your values keeps you dedicated to what you honor most and that helps us avoid guilt.
4. Make a breakfast date with a girlfriend. Perhaps you missed a birthday of a friend you can never find time to meet. Start the day off by meeting her for breakfast. Mark it on your calendar as if it were an important business meeting.
5. Celebrate birthdays. Buy at least two dozen of your favorite cards and put them on file by category so you always have one for every special occasion. Make sure you have a calendar with everyone's birthday marked. Send your favorite card at least three days out from the birthday you wish to remember.
6. Make a team charter with the family. Tell your family you want to be fully present when you're together and share with them your struggles surrounding guilt. Get their suggestions on how you can best support them as a mother and spouse, and share with them how they can best support you.
7. Remember your unique contribution to the world. Focus on your daily contributions through the things you do for your family, friends and in your career.
