US DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS NOVEMBER 2 AT 2 AM

Daylight Savings Time will end in the US on November 2, 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 2 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 2 (until March 8, 2009 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 that November 2.

For a list of when countries start/finish Daylight Saving 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.

Throughout 2008, ICA will be holding a series of teleconferences designed to spread the word about coaching as a career and, in particular, coach training with ICA.  These calls will be held monthly and will be open to anyone, from anywhere in the world.

As a student of ICA, it is important to us that you have access to this information and these calls so we will email you prior to each event.  Although much of the the content of the calls will often be specific to the coach training research, you are always most welcome to attend or contribute.  Plus, we would love you to pass the information on to your lists, family, friends, and colleagues - bascially, anyone basically anyone you feel would be interested in discovering more about coach
training.

The theme for this months call will be ‘Become a Qualified Coach’, and it will be focused on those who have not yet pursued coach training.  The call will be hosted by Robyn Logan (Strategy Director) and Dennis Griffin (Business Manager).

YOU are invited to join in the rich discussions and learning that is the BOOK CLUB!  ***Alumni are encouraged to take advantage of this great chance to stay connected with your coaching roots!***

We meet on the last Tuesday of every month for an hour at two different times, to allow all ICAers around the world a convenient time.

The last books we read, “Think and Grow Rich” & “The Master Key System” were a success in part to the availability of a free PDF copy of the book.  Once again, you are given a free PDF of this month’s book. Click here.

READING ASSIGNMENT: We will discuss the book in its entirety at our next meeting.  All 22 pages….seriously, it is a quick read, but one that we can think about and talk about for at least an hour.

This will be the last book of 2007, so if you have been thinking of joining the club but have not…..this is your last chance until next year!  Speaking of next year, if you have any suggestions for future books, send an email to, nickbosk@gmail.com

Happy reading!! Read more »
