ICA Community Bulletin

During the last week of December and the first week on January, we take a break from classes at ICA.  Our break will begin on Sunday, 21 December 2008, with classes resuming on Sunday, 4 January 2009.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone within our ICA community a happy holiday and the very best for the coming year. We look forward to welcoming you back to corridors of ICA in 2009.

Your ICA Team!

2008 has been a bumper year for coaching.  Our enrollments are growing every month, and with that comes and increase in the number of fully fledged coach graduates exiting our school.

Last month more than 60 new students joined our Certified Professional Coach Program (CPCP), with a record breaking 126 students graduating as Certified Practicing Coaches.  It’s definately a time to celebrate.  We would like to invite you to join our coaches as they talk about their success and their experiences with coaching and coach training.

Join our Final Teleseminar for 2008…

Hosted by: Robyn Logan
Spotlight Guests: ICA graduate coaches
When: Monday, 22nd December 2008
Time: 7pm NY EST
Cost: Free

We have invited our newly graduated coaches to come together for a lively and totally unrehearsed conversation about coaching.  Our host, Robyn Logan, will be asking and prompting them on a range of issues including:

• Why did they decide to go down the accreditation pathway, instead of just setting themselves up as practicing coaches?
• When did they start coaching? Before they began training? During? After?
• How did they juggle the everyday demands of work, life, parenting, study?
• How did they build their confidence as a coach?
• Where will they use their coaching now they have graduated?  In private practice?  In a company setting?  In a school or health setting?
• What is the No: 1 piece of advice they have for aspiring coaches?
