Episode description

As a leadership coach and Director of Executive Education and Coaching at George Washington University's Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, Ina Gjikondi is a change agent. Her passion is creating experiences for people around the world to awaken and enhance their leadership abilities and creative capacities. The goal: Bring the whole self — mind, body, soul, and spirit — into one’s life and work.   Life often involves transitions, and hers includes civil society activist, political organizer and lawyer in her native Albania, executive coach for an array of leaders in U.S. government, teacher, wife, and mother. The sum of those experiences has enriched her abilities to help people step into their creative realm and become the whole, present, and practical leaders they desire to be. Dream the work — and manifest it.  

In this episode, you will learn: 

1. How to champion and develop a completely new venture within the walls of an established organization 

2. When are the best times to pursue a new degree or seek new knowledge 

3. How e-Co Leadership Coaching differs from other types of coaching  

e-Co Leadership Coaching is a new vision for leadership and coaching in the world, providing the next generation of leaders, practitioners and organizations with a whole person and whole systems framework to deepen and expand consciousness in the world towards a flourishing One Humanity.  The e-Co framework is about expanding and contracting, an iterative, emergent process of discovery that supports the development of the inner and outer coherence in complex adaptive systems.  In this ICF Accredited Coach Training Program, participants work to develop an integrated worldview of coaching in systems while practicing with real-world clients, in organizations that are deeply committed to the Sustainable Development Goals, and who care to make a positive difference in the world.
