If you like to use Facebook for all the fun things it offers, then be sure to become a fan of ICA.  You can find our Facebook Community at: icoachacademy

Currently we have close to 400 fans worldwide, comprised of our students, graduates, staff and friends.  We’d like to keep growing out community and offer this medium as a place to meet, socialize, share information on coaching, and extend the learning and good vibes coming out of our teleclasses!

It’s a great place to catch up  with ICA doings, meet fellow students and to put yourself out there.  Community Manager, Kurt Stewart and Learning Leader Isabelle King are the driving force behind bringing our ICA community together in Facebook, and they would love to hear from you.

Kurt has recently started a movement to help students connect up with each other in their various cities and regions around the world.  The aim is to keep the energy flowing outside the “virtual” classrooms and meet in the “real” world.  And we’d like you to take a group photo too so we can post it to the Facebook Fanpage. 

If you would like to get together with fellow students, have a look through our Facebook wall posts for people in your own area.  And if you don’t see anyone near you, then feel free to start up a group to meet in your town.  If you organize it, we’d be hapy to support you by creating and event in our Fanpage.

So come on and join the party - let’s keep connecting and building our amazing global community!

There have been a number of changes made to the Academic Calendar.  Most of these updates are trainer changes to classes and the details can be found below.  In addition, a new calendar has been added for our Getting Connected calls.  These calls are for our new students to connect with ICA Trainer, Nick Bosk and ask any questions they may have.  Also, registration for March Supervised Coach is now open and the 5 new time options, with classes commencing the first week of March,  have also been added to the Academic Calendar.  Registration for Supervised Coach can be made via the Community Bulletin (see earlier post), or via the Learn site.

USA DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS NOVEMBER 1 AT 2 AM

Daylight Savings Time will end in the US on November 1, and because the ICA Academic Calendar is based on NY EST, this change will affect the time students from many regions around the world attend classes.

** If you live in the US **

The times you attend teleclasses will not change. But make sure you turn your clock back an hour on November 1 for the end of US Daylight Saving.

** If you live outside the US **

The times you attend teleclasses will change. You will need to update your teleclass conversions as follows:

All students: Reconvert the time of your classes as of November 1 (until March 14, 2010 when daylight saving begins again in the US)

Some students: Reconvert the time of your classes again if your country starts or finishes daylight saving on a date other than November 1.

For a list of when countries start/finish Daylight Savings click here

To reconvert times, click here

If you have any queries, please email support@icoachacademy.com

And of course, don’t forget:

If you are finishing Daylight Saving you need to turn your clock back one hour.

If you are starting Daylight Saving you need to turn your clock forward one hour.

Come along to a couple of new times for the Learning Labs and hear our trainers present the New Curriculum modules in the forum of a Learning Lab.  You will get the chance to be an audience for the trainers as they create the new classes.  It’s a peek behind the scenes at ICA/Lobii as we practice and prepare to roll out our new modules.  Your first opportunity to join one of these special labs is scheduled for this Thursday, 22 October @ 7pm NY ET.

Very Exciting!  We would love to see you there!

Tuesdays, 11.30am NY ET (for a limited time)

NB: These New Curriculum Labs are only scheduled for a limited time.  For full details of times and exclusion dates please visit the Academic Calendar

Reminder: The Labs are not a part of your curriculum, but an added bonus for you to experience the environment of a Learning Lab.

Due to some rescheduling, there will be a trainer change for the Tuesday, 9pm CoP Life class.  Effective from October 20, 2009, Michael Moniz will now facilitate this class, previously facilitated by Merci Miglino.

For full details of this and all scheduled classes, please visit the Academic Calendar. 

Due to low attendance, the Thursday, 9am Learning Lab facilitated by Angela Wahl will be discontinued, effective immediately. 

However, the Monday 9pm Learning Lab, facilitated by Kathy Munoz will continue as per normal scheduling. Please check the Academic Calendar for full details including bridge line.

We apologise for any incovenience that this may cause. 

Your ICA Team!

Due to a scheduling conflict, the BC100 class, scheduled for Tuesday’s at 9pm and currently facilitated by Pin Hsuan, will now be facilitated by Nick Bosk.  This will become effective from 13th October, 2009.

ICA would like to extend a warm welcome to the newest member of the ICA training team, Anouschka Van den Bosch.  Anouschka is a graduate of ICA and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge with her.  Anouschka will initially be taking over the CoP Career classes on Thursdays, previously facilitated by Joanne Waldman. 

These classes will also be moving to a new time slot. Previously scheduled at 5pm NY ET, effective immediately, these classes will now be scheduled at 8pm NY ET.

Last week our special event, Balance Week, took place with many students, alumni and staff participating and in turn making valuable contributions. Each teleseminar explored ‘Balance’ in our lives, from different perspectives and in addition, participants came away with tools and the framework to  achieve this balance.

Each teleseminar was recorded and we invite all members of the ICA community who were not able to attend these events to listen to the recordings.  We are sure you will enjoy listening!

Listen | Balance - Self Care (Nick Bosk & Michael Moniz)

Listen | Balance - Unveiling the Pillars to Creating Balance (Sandi Neilson - ICA Alumni)

Listen | Balance - Who needs it? (Jamee Tenzer)

Listen | Balance - Juggling Roles (Alexia Michiels)

Listen | Balance - Ethics (Angela Bird)

Listen | Balance - Perspective (Claire Molinard)

Listen | Balance - Workshop  (Prabha Chandrasekhar)

Happy Listening!

Due to unavoidable circumstances, the Balance Workshop did not take place on Tuesday as scheduled.  But thankfully we have been able to reschedule this event.  Prabha will now facilitate the Balance Workshop on Friday, September 25, 2009 @ 9pm NY ET.

As a participant you will learn to identify the indicators of being in Balance in life and will learn to create a framework to bring out the balance you need.
