Nametags! Nametags! Get your nametags!


One year ago this October, PACA went green by issuing all members
their own beautiful, permanent nametags. No more glue leaving residue
on your silk blouse. No more stick pins accidentally pricking you. And
importantly - no more trash.

With the conclusion of 10th Anniversary celebrations, PACA is doing
some housekeeping and it's time to play your part! Come to the next
PACA dinner meeting and pick up your official PACA name badge. We
still have lots of them, clueing us into the fact that there are lots of you out
there without them.

You'll also be pleased to note that permanent, magnetic name tags offer
the following additional benefits. You can:

       Easily hide a lost shirt button or stain
       Always know your name, no matter what happens on Saturday
       night
       Quickly add flair for your messenger bag, briefcase or purse

So come on in and get your nametag!

                     seems almost preordained. Founder and CEO of
                     All-n-Won Wellness, Mark has been involved in
                     foodservice for 30 years as a Certified Executive
                     Chef (ACF), working in Culinary Nutrition for 12
                     years and for the last 15 years as Executive
                     Chef and Wellness Coordinator for QVC prior to
                     his lay off in November 2008.

                      When a Senior VP of Human Resources said he
needed more to move to the next level, he earned his Certified
Personal Trainer (AFPA) and then last August, Mark earned his
coaching certification from Wellcoaches™. Part of his inspiration
dates back to an October, 1998, article in the American Dietetic
Association Journal calling for a multidisciplinary approach to the
epidemic of obesity. In order to play a more effective role in fighting
this epidemic, he has also studied at Immaculata College and is now
a third of his way toward his BS in Nutrition. Mark has also just
completed his 10th marathon and was recognized in 2004 by Main
Line Today Magazine as one of "33 Men to Watch."

The single biggest surprise Mark encountered in coaching is "having
not to talk." The hardest thing is not being the "expert." Along with
being an Executive Chef, Mark has 20 years as a Chief Petty Officer
in the Navy and has been a dad for 25 years - none of which
prepared him to impact someone's life with a question and reflection.
He says that realizing the massive power of silence is overwhelming.
Not a registered dietician, he can still coach in food choices, cooking
skills and educate in general nutrition. When sitting with clients, it's
the wellness coach they are sitting with and, now and then, the
culinary coach or trainer comes in.
Mark loves to coach the people who have tried and tried but failed at
a diet, a gym membership or are overly stressed out, whose feeling
of empowerment and self-efficacy are going down the drain despite
many years of diets or training programs. Mark quotes one of his
mentors who says, "People spend all this effort banging down the
nails not realizing why the floor boards are popping up." Instead,
Mark loves to find the starting point, loves listening for connections to
how they got where they are now. He tell his clients that they first
need to find out how they got where they are today and secondly
enjoy finding the paths that will impact tomorrow.

If given two weeks of free professional development Mark would
strengthen his coaching skills and coaching business by working with
additional mentor coaches, beyond the life coach he has now. He
would focus on finding out how to attract the right clients, further
developing the skills that would enhance his success with clients and
his business and look at how to achieve balance with his family.

Aside from a 26 year marriage to a "beautiful bride" and four kids,
Mark feels his greatest success is when a client "gets it." He says to
potential clients, "If weight loss is your sole purpose, you're working
with the wrong person." In fact, when he asked about 15 women
what the most important thing in their life was, not one responded
with "weight". However, the reason often given by clients who sign up
for coaching, especially women, is that they want to work on weight
loss.

Instead of dealing with the symptom (weight), Mark talks about
lifestyle changes, with weight loss being the by-product of that. After
a few months of training and coaching, Mark often hears, "You know,
I am not seeing the weight loss I thought I would" or "I'm not as far
along as I thought I would be." He responds with four questions: How
do you feel? "I feel great." How is your energy level? "It is so much
better!" How is your stress? "You know, I really haven't thought that
much about it because my stress seems down." How do your clothes
fit? "I am down a whole dress size"!

Mark tells his clients: "Slow, progressive, quality lifestyle changes are
like your favorite food. With every bite...you want a little bit more."

Mark passionately believes that where we are today is a result of the
path we've walked upon. The choices we've made and what we do
today will create the future. Each of us has our own path. His
experience as a 20-year recovering alcoholic finds Mark often not
coaching his clients, but sitting right next to them, knowing what it's
like to have that cake calling from the kitchen or the failure to take
that walk haunting them...and discovering that the answer to a joyful
life is within each of them.

Next Series: Thursday, November 26, 2009 Contact to register: Ken Abrams, MCC-ICF Credential Committee Chair, Ken@KenAbrams.com New Member Corner - Mark Goodwin Interviewed by Patricia Weeks Looking back, Mark Goodwin's path to coaching seems almost preordained. Founder and CEO of All-n-Won Wellness, Mark has been involved in foodservice for 30 years as a Certified Executive Chef (ACF), working in Culinary Nutrition for 12 years and for the last 15 years as Executive Chef and Wellness Coordinator for QVC prior to his lay off in November 2008. When a Senior VP of Human Resources said he needed more to move to the next level, he earned his Certified Personal Trainer (AFPA) and then last August, Mark earned his coaching certification from Wellcoaches™. Part of his inspiration dates back to an October, 1998, article in the American Dietetic Association Journal calling for a multidisciplinary approach to the epidemic of obesity. In order to play a more effective role in fighting this epidemic, he has also studied at Immaculata College and is now a third of his way toward his BS in Nutrition. Mark has also just completed his 10th marathon and was recognized in 2004 by Main Line Today Magazine as one of "33 Men to Watch." The single biggest surprise Mark encountered in coaching is "having not to talk." The hardest thing is not being the "expert." Along with being an Executive Chef, Mark has 20 years as a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy and has been a dad for 25 years - none of which prepared him to impact someone's life with a question and reflection. He says that realizing the massive power of silence is overwhelming. Not a registered dietician, he can still coach in food choices, cooking skills and educate in general nutrition. When sitting with clients, it's the wellness coach they are sitting with and, now and then, the culinary coach or trainer comes in.
  • 8. Mark loves to coach the people who have tried and tried but failed at a diet, a gym membership or are overly stressed out, whose feeling of empowerment and self-efficacy are going down the drain despite many years of diets or training programs. Mark quotes one of his mentors who says, "People spend all this effort banging down the nails not realizing why the floor boards are popping up." Instead, Mark loves to find the starting point, loves listening for connections to how they got where they are now. He tell his clients that they first need to find out how they got where they are today and secondly enjoy finding the paths that will impact tomorrow. If given two weeks of free professional development Mark would strengthen his coaching skills and coaching business by working with additional mentor coaches, beyond the life coach he has now. He would focus on finding out how to attract the right clients, further developing the skills that would enhance his success with clients and his business and look at how to achieve balance with his family. Aside from a 26 year marriage to a "beautiful bride" and four kids, Mark feels his greatest success is when a client "gets it." He says to potential clients, "If weight loss is your sole purpose, you're working with the wrong person." In fact, when he asked about 15 women what the most important thing in their life was, not one responded with "weight". However, the reason often given by clients who sign up for coaching, especially women, is that they want to work on weight loss. Instead of dealing with the symptom (weight), Mark talks about lifestyle changes, with weight loss being the by-product of that. After a few months of training and coaching, Mark often hears, "You know, I am not seeing the weight loss I thought I would" or "I'm not as far along as I thought I would be." He responds with four questions: How do you feel? "I feel great." How is your energy level? "It is so much better!" How is your stress? "You know, I really haven't thought that much about it because my stress seems down." How do your clothes fit? "I am down a whole dress size"! Mark tells his clients: "Slow, progressive, quality lifestyle changes are like your favorite food. With every bite...you want a little bit more." Mark passionately believes that where we are today is a result of the path we've walked upon. The choices we've made and what we do today will create the future. Each of us has our own path. His experience as a 20-year recovering alcoholic finds Mark often not coaching his clients, but sitting right next to them, knowing what it's like to have that cake calling from the kitchen or the failure to take that walk haunting them...and discovering that the answer to a joyful life is within each of them. 2009 ICF International Conference Global Conversations: Inspiring individuals, Building
