"Working with Donna Zajonc helped me to focus in on what's
really important to me, and to cut away some of the dross that the time
of a legislator gets taken up with. I ran for office because there were
things I cared about, and we all know how limited time and many distractions
can take us away from that. Donna's coaching style combines reflective
listening with questions and perspectives that gave me insights on what
I was doing - and what I was not doing - and how to match my time with
my values."
Richard Conlin,
Seattle Council Member
"Donna provided a new and invaluable service to our candidates
during The WISH List's Campaign Colleges in Arizona and Washington, D.C.
She succeeded in setting our candidates on a secure footing for what could
be a bumpy campaign road ahead. We are still receiving positive feedback!"
Pat Giardina Carpenter
President, The WISH List
(Women in State and House)

Political Leadership Coaching
"Coaching Ordinary Citizens
to
Become Extraordinary Public Leaders"
As a former elected state representative and a nonpartisan political
coach I understand politics and can help you increase your effectiveness
through Political Leadership Coaching. I work with political leaders in
all capacities from new candidates and seasoned elected politicians to
appointed public officials. Here is what you will receive with political
leadership coaching:
- Development
and enhancement of your personal leadership style
- A fully
developed vision for your time in public office (this goes far beyond
just winning the next election)
- Tools
for managing your anxiety and stress in difficult situations
- Ability
to see possibility in the midst of entrenched political views
- Identification
of attitudes and beliefs about yourself that both enhance your leadership
and/or hold you back from being the bold leader you are
- Assistance
in holding your vision for public office alive even in the midst of
chaos and struggle
I do not work for political parties or interest groups nor do I comment
on your political opinions. My only interest is developing your highest
potential and challenging you to be the best possible public servant and
candidate.
Because our work together is strictly confidential, you will never see
your name on my client list. I do not get caught up in campaign gossip
nor do I want a staff position when you are elected. Our coaching partnership
is a personal and confidential resource for you, the political leader,
and is external to the campaign or office staff.
My passion is to challenge you to lead from higher
motives and to become part of the new breed of conscious political leaders.
Setting aside our personal fears, we will offer our time and resources
to renew the nobility of public leadership. It is a purpose we may or
may not see fulfilled during our lifetime: transforming our political
system for the sake of generations to come.
To jumpstart our coaching conversation and provide us with a common
framework, I provide a free copy of my book The
Politics of Hope: Reviving the Dream of Democracy to you.. In
the book, I describe the Four Stages of Political Evolution and offer
"Seven Practices for Becoming a Conscious Public Leader."
There are coaching questions at the end of each chapter to cultivate
your self-knowledge and prepare you to be on the leading edge of this
new form of public service.
Political leaders must prepare themselves for leadership in the same
way that all professionals learn the skills, perspectives and tools of
their vocation. No longer does owning a successful business or being an
active community volunteer completely prepare you to be a noble public
servant.
Here's how Political Leadership Coaching works:
- Coaching
conversations take place over the phone in a comfortable and convenient
setting of your choice.
- Our
first appointment will be 90 minutes to allow time to set goals for
what you want to accomplish during the coaching relationship.
- Next
we schedule three 45 minute sessions per month with unlimited email
coaching between calls.
- Following
the initial three month commitment, we convert to a month to month contract.
30 days notice is requested to conclude the coaching.
Coaching for Coaches
In addition to coaching public leaders, I specialize in working with
professional coaches who want to develop this niche as part of their business
plan. I help coaches discover their passion for coaching politicians,
develop their unique offering and marketing plan. Email
me today and we can schedule an appointment to explore this possibility.
Public Leadership Seminars
I also offer a wide range of public
leadership development seminars to support you in building a strong
team, one that is aligned with and dedicated to your vision and values.
Call me today at 206-780-9900 or email me at donna@politicsofhope.com
to discuss your needs.
I look forward to working with you!

"I have known Donna Zajonc for 25 years since she first
successfully ran for the legislature in 1978. At an early age she displayed
an extraordinary passion for public service and the needs of her community.
She is now dedicated to supporting outstanding candidates and public servants
as they consider the challenge of running for elective office. I hope
you will consider working with her."
Senator Mark Hatfield
Oregon US Senator 1967-1997
"The winds of change are blowing and Donna Zajonc is leading
the way with her intelligent, thoughtful and refreshing approach to political
leadership.
I enthusiastically recommend her inspirational training and coaching to
every politician... novice and pro alike!"
Roselyn O'Connell
2004 Congressional Candidate
