About the Author: In 1994 Vikki G. Brock saw the need for coaches to assist people as companies transitioned to a more participative leadership style. In 1995, she left her 21-year career at The Boeing Company to start VB Coaching & Consulting with the mission of providing premier coaching services to leadership. Dr. Brock specializes in bringing coaching skills into business and industry. Her clients are high performance and hi-potential leaders and organizations undergoing transformation. Vikki defines coaching as 'raising awareness, so people are at conscious choice." Since 2005, Vikki's practice has expanded beyond North America to every continent. Committed to transformation at a global level, one-third of her clients are international leaders committed to making a difference in their country. Dr. Brock is committed to life-long learning and contributing to the field of coaching. The foremost subject matter expert on the roots and emergence of the coaching field, her impressive credentials include an Executive MBA, a PhD in Coaching and Human Development, and Master Certified Coach (MCC) from the International Coach Federation (ICF). Vikki was one of the first coaches to receive an MCC from the ICF in 1998. Dr. Brock has been actively involved with governance, accreditation, and credentialing with the ICF since its inception in 1996. She served as Director of the History and Archive Division at The Coaching Commons, a project of The Harnisch Foundation (2005-2010). She has published numerous articles on the coaching profession, is an adjunct professor in a university executive coaching certificate program, and frequently speaks internationally on coaching. Vikki provides sessions face-to-face at client sites and by telephone from her 50' sailboat named Cuidado, which is moored in Ventura Harbor about an hour north of Los Angeles, California.
