Fraternity expands partnership with Dr. Michael Brown and DMB Coaching

Dr. Michael Brown, DMB Coaching

In the Summer of 2021, Phi Kappa Theta embarked on an expanded partnership with Dr. Michael Brown and DMB Coaching (DMB) to provide new and expanded programming to all our chapters across the country.

In July, Dr. Brown and his team attended our Biennial Convention in New Orleans, LA. They met with all our chapters to establish relationships and see how collegiate members could benefit from coaching through DMB coaches.

Since then, DMB has worked to identify a coach on their team who is the best compliment to each chapter and their needs. We are now working to establish those cooperative relationships with the undergraduate chapters and their respective alumni volunteers.

As many chapters transition to new leadership over the next month, each will work with teams comprised of DMB coaches and alumni volunteers to identify programming and support and begin visiting our chapters across the country to deliver developmental programs.

This expanded partnership is an exciting step for Phi Kappa Theta as we bring our best volunteers and coaching professionals to bear in helping achieve our vision of being a premier human development organization. As part of this joint effort, we can always use the support of additional alumni volunteers in working with and mentoring the next generation.

If you think you might be interested in being part of our team, we encourage you to take the opportunity to visit our phikaps.org/coaching to learn more.

A podcast boom: three alumni appear on Three Words by DMB Coaching

Podcasts continue to grow in popularity. Forbes recently posted as of early 2021, there were nearly 2 million podcasts with over 43 million episodes available online, more than double the amount publicly available in 2018.

Phi Kappa Theta’s ongoing partnership with Dr. Michael Brown of DMB Coaching has led to three alumni joining in on the podcast boom. Dr. Brown has facilitated many Phi Kappa Theta conferences in recent years and is the lead host of Three Words, a bite-sized podcast about choices, with each episode featuring a new guest and their personal take on personal growth and deliberate actions. In the span of a week, Dr. Brown traveled and visited with three highly engaged Phi Kappa Theta alumni.
