Member Spotlight...
Highlighting Maryland Chapter ICF- member ~ Denice Hinden
Written by Mary Ellen Waltemire
 Passionate, focused, engaged, synergistic ~ those are some of the words that describe Denice Hinden, President of Managance Consulting & Coaching. Dr. Hinden with the help of her husband, Larry started the firm in 2000 focusing on areas of non-profit organization planning and leadership development with board members and staff. She added individual and group coaching with an Energy Leadership ™ framework beginning in 2009. In addition to being president/ CEO of her company, she recently co-authored a book entitled The Nonprofit Organizational Culture Guide: Revealing the Hidden Truths That Impact Performance. (Jossey-Bass, 2011)
Denice became active in the Maryland Chapter – ICF, after membership in the Metro D.C. Chapter. Her interest in the Maryland Chapter started because of an invitation to join by Catrese Brown, a respected colleague and friend. Relatively new to the coaching industry, Denice enjoys the professional association with other coaches and sharing of expertise and resources. Like many Maryland Chapter colleagues, she is still learning and appreciates the opportunity to connect with coaches targeting different markets with varied coaching practices. She believes you get back what you put into an organization and she’s getting lots! Denice is an active member of the MD Chapter Professional Development Committee which has helped her meet new people while expanding her capacity as a coaching professional. She is comfortable volunteering with the MD Chapter- ICF because of the support she receives from other committee members and the opportunities to learn best practices, network and collaborate.
Beyond Maryland, Denice has been active with ICF-Global as a member of the Research Committee. Here she has reviewed research about coaching to post on the ICF website. Because of her experience, she encourages other Maryland Chapter members to explore options for involvement at the international level.
Denice is most proud of the exciting difference she makes with her coaching clients and about the work she is doing to bring more coaching to non-profit leaders. She enjoys encouraging others to pursue coaching as a profession. She does relax with her husband Larry and pets and she enjoys beading.
For a closer look at this spirited, energetic Maryland Chapter - ICF member visit her website at www.managance.com.
