Are you coming to Portland for the Roller Derby Global Championship in November?

That's so cool! I live here! Let's get together and talk about leadership, conflict, policy and procedures, and anything I can do to support you and your league.

  

[tl;dr here's the scheduling form: https://wsl.tiny.us/champs-connect]

  

There are several options for accessing my services while you're in town:

  

1. Group Coaching Walk-and-Talk! This is a no-cost option available at (or near) the Coliseum between games. I love watching derby, but I also know I need to move my body sometimes. Join me as we walk around and talk about whatever will help you be a better derby leader as a group of walkers and talkers. 

These sessions are designed for league members looking for support and connections to work through a myriad of leadership issues. You'll be able to talk with me and/or each other about leadership and league challenges so that you can get insights, grow skills, and build connections with like minds.

My vision is that the walk-and-talk(s) will happen during breaks between games or in the morning before games start.

To access this service fill out this form with your name and email, and tell me you want to be on the Global Champs walk-and-talk list.

Once the game schedule is set (or maybe during the event TBD), I'll email the list with the time(s) and location to meet up for a walk-and-talk. Get yourself to the right place at the right time, and away we go!

   

2. Private Coaching Session(s). These paid confidential sessions ($100/hour, special derby-at-a-live-event rate) are where I meet with you (and maybe your leadership team) for one hour to strategize solutions and offer specific advice on the challenges, skill gaps, or leadership needs you are seeing so that you can take focused, effective, productive action. These sessions are ideal for discussing complex interpersonal issues, conflict response planning, league leadership strategy, co-leadership skills, leadership turnover, working with or removing difficult leaders/legacy skaters, and similar topics.

$100/hour, time and location TBD - could be at/near the Coliseum or around Portland,  before, after, or between games, during the days before/after the tournament.

To access this service, fill out this form and tell me you want to schedule a private coaching session at or near Global Champs, and I’ll get back to you with scheduling and billing options.

  

3. Private Workshops! Pricing starts at $400. If you and your leadership team (your league board or co-captain for example) are all in town for Champs, let’s get together for a specific custom workshop or training session. 

Topics could include:

  •  Implementing repair-based practices in your league so you don’t have suspensions and expulsions tearing apart your leaguemate relationships.

  • Shifting league culture so folks are intrinsically accountable for meeting league goals.

  • Running an effective team norms-and-agreements session so that your teams start or restart the season on the right foot (I can run this session for you or train you to run your own).

  •  Conflict response skills training so people know what to do and how to take action when conflict arises. 

  • Team building for your leadership team (exploring leadership styles, communication, and thinking styles so you can work together more easily). 

  • Values update workshop so that your league has a set of coherent, modern, true-to-the-people who are here now values to guide all league decisions and serve as a foundation for league culture.

Want a full-day seminar where we throw your league code of conduct (or grievance process, or both) in the trash and build something that builds community instead of setting people up to punish each other? We can do that. 

If you can dream it, let’s discuss it! 

The price starts at $400 and could range to $4000+ depending on what you need and how many people attend and the lenght of the session(s). The time, location, and exact pricing are TBD. It could be in the day(s) before or after champs or in the morning or evening during the tournament. Do you have friends at another league who want the same private workshop? Combine forces and split the cost! 

To access this service, fill out this form and tell me what kind of private workshop you’re curious about. If this is interesting to you, please contact me before 10/20 so we can get all the parts in motion.

Testimonials - I've had the extreme privledge of working with many derby leagues and humans. Here's what some of them had to say about working with me:


"Working with Iggy opened lines of communication that were not even real last year - and that's what we needed so bad."- Jenna Specht


"What I like about your style in general is that in my 15+ years working in corporate environments sometimes I feel like teambuilding or coaches that are brought in are are a little bit patronizing and I've felt like "I ain't got time for this s$#!". I didn't even realize you were doing what you were doing at our last meeting. I was like, "Who's that person? I like what she's doing." It was as simple as that." - Ryan Sage


“I think the part that awed me the most was the culture we created amongst ourselves. We were all very vulnerable and upfront about our goals and ambitions and with that openness came a natural progression of important dialogue and feedback. It was very cool to see how comfortable we were with one another by the end of the whole thing. - Big Bang Fury, Rose City Rollers


Iggy's work with us has helped align our actions with our goals and build a driven and positive team culture." - Sarah Gaither


“The perspective offered around my issue helped me rethink the challenge and definitely find more empathy for the other party, which has helped me take a step back and not allow it to weigh on me as greatly” - London, SO Derby


“Wow, what an experience! Thank you so much for finding time in your busy schedule to meet with us before we left. It was so helpful to have set those intentions before leaving and helped us remain in a positive, team oriented head space. I really can’t say enough what a difference it made. You were part of what we did on that track!” - NLD 


“Iggy facilitated honest discussions that are maybe a little difficult for our team to get to in a way that didn’t feel hostile. It didn’t feel like a confrontation, it felt like a conversation and I really liked that. Not just a conversation about difficult subjects, but also stuff we don’t usually talk about like why are we here on the team, how we feel supported by the team and communicating ways our needs have been met, as well as needs that aren’t being met.” Brute - Rose City Rollers
