SAN DIEGO - May 24, 2013 - PRLog -- San Diego-based organization celebrates 20 years of empowerment

In honor of 20 years in business, Guiding Mindful Change will host a luncheon in San Diego on May 25, to unveil their new website and to generate funds to help lift families out of poverty.

Guiding Mindful Change, the premier, board-approved training for professional coaches in San Diego, CA, is excited to debut the new website at http://www.guidingmindfulchange.com and to partner with Erase Poverty, an inspiring, innovative organization helping small businesses make a big impact.

“In honor of International Coaches' Week and our 20th anniversary, Guiding Mindful Change will sponsor "Coaches for a Cause" on Saturday, May 25, to raise awareness and funds for ErasePoverty (https://www.facebook.com/erasepoverty?directed_target_id=0) an initiative to bring an end to extreme poverty through the power of small business. Coaches trained through the Mindful Coach Certification learn to empower positive change so sit is a perfect fit that we have an opportunity to sponsor micro loans through Erase Poverty by the Coaches for a Cause event,” says Billie Frances, Founder of Guiding Mindful Change. The fundraiser luncheon event will support women in the United States, Kenya and Cambodia with micro loans to lift families out of poverty, create jobs and build a sustainable economy in the surrounding community. 100% of the proceeds of the Coaches for a Cause event will go to help fund micro loans for women working their way out of poverty.

Guiding Mindful Change was founded in 1993 by Billie Frances.  Billie's intention was to create an association of human services professionals who could align their passions and talents.  Just how that would come about, she didn't fully know. But she had known that she wanted to partner with other "agents of change" who were grounded in integrative practices and wholeness. What has emerged is the Mindful Change Coach Certification which empowers select professionals to make a difference in the lives of others through mindful coaching.  Over 400 Certified Mindful Coaches nationwide are fulfilling that purpose. Working with Billie are highly skilled trainers who present the program nationwide. What has also emerged is Employee Wellness Coaching - with proven success since 2004 helping corporate employees establish and maintain positive health behavior change as well as other wellness coaching initiatives with organizations ranging from physician groups to school districts.

At the new Guiding Mindful Change website, visitors can learn about coach certification, corporate wellness coaching and much more. The new FIND A COACH page allows individuals and corporations to match their needs with the experience and expertise of the list of coaches and find a perfect fit to empower change.

Guiding Mindful Change is also proud welcome several new graduates from Southern Califonnia to the nationwide network of Certified Mindful Change Coaches!   Congratulations to Asha Mankowska, Martin Lopez, Lynn Gardner, Wendy Phillips and Phyllis Rachelle Palacios. These graduates completed the rigorous 3-month training and are ready to provide caring, competent and effective professional coaching services.
