Mickey
Parsons, MED, MCC, CLC, CEAP
As a Master
Certified Coach, Mickey
started Parsons Associates
Coaching, LLC in March of 1999 to focus on professionals, business owners
and entrepreneurs who want to take more control of their businesses, careers
and lives by overcoming self-limiting beliefs and fears to accomplish
greater success. A seasoned professional with a Master’s degree in
educational psychology and over 20 years' experience managing and leading
business organizations, Mickey has a strong background in counseling,
education and human resources. With demonstrated success in the areas of
executive management and business development, Mickey’s education and
professional experiences provide the solid foundation from which he coaches.
According to Linda Bailey-Davies, one of Mickey's long-time coach mentors,
"Mickey is a rare combination of excellent skills, wonderful intuition and a
demeanor that makes his clients instantly comfortable. He has an uncanny
ability to put even the most distraught client at ease and begin supporting
them to take action that moves them forward...Mickey not only displays all
the competencies of a highly skilled and experienced coach, he brings to his
coaching an extra element of presence that is strong and supportive,
incisive and clear and gentle, as well as firm, as needed. He has a
remarkable ability to identify the exact cadence that is needed for the
situation, the person and the call..."
Early in his career, Mickey worked
with Family and Children's Services of Chattanooga, Inc. and Magellan
Behavioral Healthcare where he helped companies throughout the USA implement
and grow Employee Assistance Programs that provided counseling, education,
training, finance and legal services as an employee benefit. Today, he uses
this experience as an Employee Assistance Program coach to help both
individuals and companies gain confidence and thrive in the market place.
Later, Mickey moved from the
people-development industry into marketing and business development, and
then finally served as the Executive Director of a Tampa Bay Area Chamber of
Commerce before deciding to pursue the career of his dreams: becoming a Life Coach
that specializes in business and career development.
According to Mickey, "Coaching is
all about stretching and investing in ourselves. And, being a coach allows
me to use my expertise to help others become more successful and balanced.
It is the greatest "job" I've ever had."
Mickey enjoys working with a
wide variety of clients, and specializes in helping professionals that find
themselves in career transition (Career coaching services for those in
transition) and small business owners/practitioners who
need a hand growing their business to the next level while maintaining
personal balance and honoring their values & strengths.

Kate
Woods, CPBA
Becoming a Personal and Professional Coach
was a natural extension of Kate's 25-year career in the beauty industry. She
began her career as a stylist, then continued on to become a trainer, manager
and consultant.
During the last 15 years, she found personal
fulfillment from working closely with women who were coping with cancer and
experiencing hair loss. Women who are dealing with the effects of chemotherapy,
radiation, alopecia or genetic hair loss taught Kate a great deal about the
human spirit and inspired her move into a new career direction
herself...focusing on the real beauty comes from the inside of each person.
Working
with hundreds of women over the years also has given Kate the opportunity to see
the importance of balance in our lives - that ever-changing place where we feel
valued, motivated and in control of our own destiny is something that we
continually, habitually and even subconsciously seek. Through Coaching, Kate
helps her clients achieve that sense of balance and purpose by guiding and
encouraging them to think big and take action steps that inevitably create a
life, career or business venture that they are passionate about.
As
a life-long learner, Kate is continually reading, attending workshops and
studying personal development. One of her favorite things about coaching, is
that it allows her a platform to share her knowledge and insights with clients,
which in-turn provides an avenue for empowering them while expanding their
capacity to choose a direction that will make their lives joyful. To some, this
means finding the work you love, having a more organized life, or finding the
strength to say what you need, to others it means navigating transition or
planning for a successful small business or retirement.
As a graduate of Coach University, and a
member of the International Association of Coaches, Kate has merged her passion
for helping others succeed with a clear understanding of human development and
powerful coaching tools which has allowed her to become a masterful coach.
Regardless of the goal, Kate is an exceptional listener who consistently helps
her clients achieve the goals and successes they seek.
