In October of 2015, Goodwill Ambassadors of World Peace and Urban Community Ambassadors, Chris and Carol Green began conducting a Life Coping Coaching workshop at EDSI - PA CareerLink® Capitol Region in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
EDSI operates the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program, serving the unemployed and underemployed populations in Pennsylvania. Their core services include job readiness workshops, job search, job club and other career development topics.
This is the area where the Green's life coaching workshops enter the picture. This is where they seized the opportunity to give hope and restore dignity to those who are unemployed in the city.

After that first workshop, several people said the presentation gave them a new way to view themselves as they face a very tough job landscape. Most seemed to be very encouraged.
"It's pretty hard to maintain your dignity when you're unemployed and dealing with one job interview rejection after another," Coach Chris Green said. "We had to think about how we would want to be treated if we were in the same situation. From our perspective, we were just thrilled to be able to move out beyond the walls of a church building and reach people who needed hope in a time of great despair."
After that first uplifting workshop the life coaches were invited back to the Career Link facility the next month.
"Our second workshop was just before Thanksgiving so it was kind of tough for the participants," Coach Carol Green explained. "That month, we had a wonderful, engaging conversation as we explored various workplace personality profiles. We offered tips on how to work with conflicting personality types and how to improve one's own responses to others."
The session came alive with conversation, questions and comments. During the session, the Greens introduced their Life Coaching website and offered the opportunity for participants to attend their weekly group sessions.
The Career Link site-administrator sat in on part of the workshop and later proposed that the Greens return to conduct a session for her staff. Afterwards, the Community Life Coaches were placed on the PA CareerLink regular monthly schedule, establishing another step in their Golden Rule approach to uplifting lives in urban culture.
