Walks Beside Coaching & Consulting Selected for NM Aging Committee
Coaching for Aging Fulfillment & Civic Engagement!
Santa Fe, NM – - – October 4, 2007 – - – Walks Beside Coaching & Consulting (WBCC), a vibrant coaching company with offices in California & New Mexico, announced today that they have been selected as members of the planning committee for the 30th Annual NM Conference on Aging. “We are proud to have this opportunity. This is one of the state’s principal events to learn about aging beliefs, health developments; and, lifestyle changes that contribute to aging with deep fulfillment. Our programs focus specifically on this year’s theme: ‘Civic Engagement’. We believe that your life’s contribution should not end with professional retirement, personal mobility issues, or the achievement of a specific age. The future of our state’s environment for aging independence and living quality depends on engaging our valued Elders”, said Stephan Marais, a partner in the company.
WBCC is one of the nation’s only coaching companies where the coaches are also gerontologists. WBCC designs programs for businesses with the ‘wave’ of Boomers that are blending the next chapters of professionalism with civic engagement. WBCC constructs business solutions around the achievement of business goals, the renewal of an increased aging workforce, and the integration of a diverse cultural labor force. These programs eliminate imprecise administrative thinking to synchronize ideas and goals for large-scale systems change, both locally and nationally. And as gerontologists, WBCC uses the theories of aging to assist Elders and their families to identify ambivalent behavior, depression over lack of authority or control, the lack of trust & resentment; and, all issues that impact the quality of life.
WBCC has helped various companies with individualized services for executives and director level staff in aging and the related long-term healthcare businesses. They bring their business knowledge to New Mexico to serve businesses in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe areas; and, be a reference center for the collaboration of the multi-cultural and multi-generational workforce. Also, they have a proven track record in generating increased civic engagement for those 60 or older in the ‘call’ to leadership & public service to the larger community.
