How can leaders, teams and organizations bring human spirit and engagement back to the world of work? Tune in to this week's special Halloween episode of The Team Coaching Zone Podcast where host Dr. Krister Lowe interviews DJ Mitsch the Founder and Chief Coaching Officer of the Pyramid Resource Group and the Author of "Zombies to Zealots: Reawaken the Human Spirit at Work."

DJ Mitsch was featured back in Episode #009 of the TCZ podcast where she introduced listeners to the Team Advantage team coaching approach and to some stories that illustrate the transformative potential of team coaching in organizations.

In this episode DJ takes us into the journey of how we can move from being "zombies" at work into become "zealots." Themes explored in show include: the impetus for the book; the cause of low engagement in organizations; paying attention to the language we use at work and in particular to how we refer to people; a new consciousness trying to emerge in today's organizations; reclaiming the mind, heart, body and soul in our work; 4 pathways back to the light:

1. Reawaken
2. Remember
3. Reconnect
4. Rehumanize

DJ also shares linkages of the book to team leadership and to team coaching.

This is an inspiring episode that all team coaches will surely not want to miss! Tune in today and get ready to come back to life!
