The SeattleCoach Faculty Team

“The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.” ―Benjamin Disraeli
"This is the best training team, organization and learning community a coach could ask for or dream of!" ―A member of our tribe

SeattleCoach hosts our flagship Cohorts both virtually and at our Lake Union Offices. In addition, we develop coaching leaders "on the inside" of some great Northwest Companies.

As we've grown, Patty has invited several SeattleCoaches to become members of our faculty team.
​Each one is SeattleCoach Certified, each one is a Certified Mentor Coach, and each one brings significant wisdom and experience (along with some personal panache) to our growing tribe.

• Each one has impressed me with their grit, enthusiasm, hard work, creativity, and integrity. Each one exemplifies The SeattleCoach Rules.​
• Each one is credentialed by the ICF, having spent years pursuing coaching skills and presence.​
• Each one contributes regularly to the growth and encouragement of our SeattleCoach Tribe, helping to plan and lead our Summits, inspiring conversation in the Tribe's monthly happy hours, bringing their wisdom to our social media, helping us to identify pro-bono opportunities, and cooking up creative initiatives we haven't thought of yet.​

Janet Williams Hepler, MA PCC, CMC (Cohort #11)

"Prior to working as a coach, I spent much of my career working in technology companies where rapid change is the norm. For 11 years, I focused on leading teams through reorganizations and rapid strategic change. I learned that coaching is key ingredient to accelerate learning in fast-paced environments. I’m passionate about working with individuals and teams to develop their capacity to learn and develop their capacity to do amazing work."  

In addition to her executive leadership experience, Janet has furthered her understanding of leadership and organizational change.

"With over 20 years in the corporate world, I bring a breadth of experiences: career transitions, change management, project management, leadership development and work-life balance. I believe that connection and love are critical to a whole life. I work from a viewpoint of seeing my clients as whole people who deserve someone in their corner to cheer them on. I have a big heart and love using humor whenever I can."

Julie tells us that her husband and three children have taught her that, "living an unconscious life is not an option."

Sue Couper, MBA, ACC (Cohort #20)

 
As a professional coach Sue Couper draws on knowledge acquired during 30 years as business leader.  Throughout her career as a consultant for a large international professional services firm, she advised executives, managers, and entrepreneurs and developed a deep understanding of the qualities shared by effective leaders.  The lessons she learned during her 30 years as a consultant informs her coaching and leadership development approach.

John LaMunyon, MDiv, PCC, CMC (Cohort #27)

​From an early age, John has dedicated his life to building a more empathetic and compassionate world. . . one leader, one team, one organization at a time. These days he works toward that goal by assisting others as they reestablish the "headwaters" of their lives. This means finding that space and place where vision runs clear, leading to a life-giving and compelling trajectory. His experience in working with high-level leaders and teams--as they become better communicators, are more effective in using conflict to move both themselves and their organizations forward, and as they gain clarity in the midst of transitions--has made him an insightful coach of individuals and groups, as well as a seasoned mentor coach.

​John is both a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the ICF and a Certified Mentor Coach.​
