Please join us, Cynthia, Lou, Miriam and Valerie, as we discuss the Satir Coaching and Mentoring Specialist Program developed by Sharon Loeschen,MSW, and offered through The Virginia Satir Global Network. As a result of this session we hope you learn more about the transformation process that guides the work of Satir coaches and mentors, about tools relevant to facilitating change in the coaching process, and about new possibilities, challenges and opportunities we are experiencing as coaches.

Lou’s journey with Virginia Satir began in a family therapy class in undergrad but his real journey began at a weekend workshop on Satir Growth Process with Hugh Gratz in New Jersey the Spring 1990. Then it was on to 3 weeks in Crested Butte that Summer and several other 3-5 day intensives with several instructors in Federal Way, WA; New Orleans , New York and again in NJ during the years 1993-1998 and being a member of The Avanta Network. Despite being disconnected in years following he continued to use different aspects of the Satir Model in various settings and roles. Lou has never been a hardlined purist in any model and feels deep convictions towards parallels, integrated and complementary approaches.
He lives in Middletown, Ohio with his wife Linda and they plan to move to the Pacific NW to be closer to their grandchildren. These past 18 months, Lou has rejoined the Satir Community more formally through Satir Global, having completed the Coaching Certification this past Spring and is a participant in the Anti-Racism Learning Community among other application projects.
