****Important change to Book Club meetings****

Effective immediately Book Club meetings will now be held every other month, with the next meeting scheduled for September 29. This is to allow more time for readers to complete the book.

Alumni and new coaches alike, are welcome to join us as we discuss this meeting’s book titled:

‘ Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live ‘ by Martha Beck (As seen on Oprah)

This is a great chance to add ideas and concepts to your education and growing coaching practice. Our book choices are selected to inspire and support.

Don’t miss the perfect opportunity to connect with other coaches within ICA’s community, by attending what promises to be a rich event. Hosted by ICA Student Support Coordinator and member of our Alumni community, Nick Bosk.

ICA student Elizabeth Abbot who resides in Rome, Italy is conducting a 90 minute workshop at the SIETAR conference (Society for Intercultural Education, Training and Research) in late October in Granada, Spain entitled, “Cross-Cultural Coaching : Making the Training Stick”. http://www.sietarglobal2008.org

As part of the workshop, she would like to do a sample, 15 minute coaching session. If there is anyone from ICA that will be attending and would like to role-play live with Elizabeth as part of this workshop, please let her know. It would be a great way to support another student and to show up as a coach during the conference.

Please email Elizabeth if you are interested or would like to know more : abbot.elizabeth@gmail.com

How about this - we are TRULY dedicated to creating a GLOBAL coaching community.

That means opening up to different cultures, learning more about how coaching works in other countries - and giving voice to our many students whose first language is not English. So we’ve just taken another step towards our goal to create a real multi-lingual community here at ICA by setting up forums in Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and French - languages that, together with English, are spoken by over 2 billion people.

How do you say, “acknowledge” in Chinese? How would someone in your country feel about you “celebrating” a setback? Rich themes abound, and we hope you will add to the mix and bring your own ideas about where coaching is headed (and where you are taking it!) in your country.

Welcome to your Spanish, French, Portuguese and Chinese forums…

Contra Coaching is a program which gives coaches an opportunity to receive free coaching in exchange for giving coaching.  There are many benefits to be gained from becoming a member of this ICF supported program. 

This month, every time you refer a coach to join the Contra Coaching Community you will receive a free Contra Coin for that referral.  The more you refer the more coins you will receive.

Membership fee applies.  To find out more information, or to join the Contra Coaching community go to the website by clicking here.

Virginia Kellogg is a successful and accomplished coach, who trains coaches all over the world. 

Virginia is co-chairing, along with Hide Enomoto, a track at the 2008, ICF conference called, ‘Impact on the World’, and is looking for fellow coaches to join a committee.  This track will both train coaches to have broader impact in the world (cultural competency issues, etc) and showcase some of the global projects that take coaching to not-usually-served populations.

Virginia envisages a diverse committee, made up from coaches in countries other that USA, and trained from coaching schools other that CTI (where Virginia trained).

If you feel that you might fit these criteria and would like to be a part of this diverse committee, please contact Virginia directly. Her details and contact information can be found below.
