We are always looking for creative ways to improve our CoP teleclasses - bringing new niches, leaders, and approaches while using our resources and talents efficiently. Toward that end, we are offering one Career CoP per week led by Joanne Waldman. We’d like to thank Anouschka van den Bosch for her wonderful leadership in our Career CoP teleclasses and we look forward to engaging both her enthusiasm and expertise in the near future. Anouschka’s last class will be on Thursday Feb 25.

We also are changing the Sales CoP to better reflect the intention of this series which is to support those students with an interest in the Sales Coach niche. We recognize Mike Francis for his amazing and generous support of our students and look forward to partnering with him as we launch the Lobii site. Mike’s last class will be March 8.

Finally, we will be bringing back the Small Business CoP so stay tuned for more information!

We area excited to welcome everyone back from break and hope that you all had wonderful holidays.

If you were unable to listen in to the special call on Monday, Jan 11 with Karen Cappello and Nick Bosk, please listen to the audio as Karen and Nick go over the new calendar and curriculum and answer students’ questions.

Balance - we all want it in our lives!

In some areas of the world, it is Autumn, a time for harvesting all the seeds we have planted.

Are you in balance?  Is it time to plant the seeds in your life or to harvest?  How do you know?  And as coaches, we talk a lot about balance with our clients.  Why is it so important?

Join us, during the week of September 21 - 26, 2009, for our upcoming Special Events Week, as we explore this question of balance - how it relates to self care, our perspectives, the different roles we play in life, ethics and much more.  Also, something new we hope to do more of in the future ar the “off-line” in person meetings scheduled for Saturday, September 26, 2009, in Toronto, Canada and Northville, Michigan in the US.

These are open to all of our students, graduates and staff, so have a look at our schedule of events below and join in.  Read more »

Our bridge line provider, Voicetext, has confirmed that the problem that caused disruption to our bridge line service has now been rectified.

Students who were unable to complete a full class due to this interruption may count this as a whole class.  However, you are also welcome to retake any missed classes as a result of this technical glitch.

If you have any questions, or experience any further bridge line problems, please contact Nick Bosk via support@icoachacademy.com

Student buddies are highly valued members of the ICA student community, who generously donate their time in assisting new students with finding their way within and around the ICA community.  As students that have been with ICA for some time would know, this can sometimes be a little daunting to begin with. Being a buddy could involve sharing first hand experiences, or assisting new students to connect with their online community. 

Whilst being a buddy does involve a time commitment, it is very flexible and should only involve a few hours a month.  Students wishing to become a part of our wonderful buddy team, should be familiar with the ICA environment, and be willing to support new students.

We are interested in buddies from all parts of our global community but are particularly looking for students from Asia, US, Canada and South America.  If you would like to become a buddy or if you would like to learn more about becoming a buddy,  please contact Jamee Tenzer, at jamee.tenzer@icoachacademy.com

A reminder to all our students who are planning to graduate September 2009.

Graduation is set to take place Monday, September 14 and we would like to take this opportunity to remind those students who have registered for Graduation, that all assessment requirements need to be submitted to assessment@icoachacademy.com by August 3. This will allow the assessment team the necessary time to assess your submissions.

If you have not registered as yet and are planning to graduate this September, please register by clicking the link below or by visiting our Supervised Coach/Graduation page on the learnsite.

Register September 2009 Graduation

Registrations are now open for the next ‘Learning Leader’ course, starting Wednesday, 22 July 2009.

The term ‘Learning Leader’ applies to anyone who runs, or intends to run, group learning.  It is a deliberate choice of name, because we believe that is essentially what you are doing - you are leading people in their own learning.

This course is particularly relevant for students and graduates with an interest in group facilitation, including

• group coaching
• leading workshop
• running teleseminars
• chairing meetings
• mentoring colleagues

We would like to take this opportunity to announce that Sheri Boone has accepted a new position at ICA as our Training Coordinator.  Sheri is an amazing coach, and as a coach brings great depth to our community here at ICA.  Sheri is already a very valued member of our staff and steps into this role bringing with her a wealth of experience.  Sheri has now been with ICA for four years, and in that time has taught many of the different modules in CPCP, is a member of the Supervised Coach and Assessment teams, as well as managing our internal peer coaching program.  There is simply nothing that Sheri has not been a part of at ICA, and we congratulate her on this new position.

Well done Sheri!

Recently, ICA Learning Leader, Sherry Read was lucky enough to visit Bermuda.  Whilst there Sherry, took the opportunity to connect with two of our graduates, Naomi Schroter and Judy Motyer, who reside in this beautiful part of the world.  By all accounts it was a wonderful get together, albeit far too short!

Don’t forget!  Really Exciting! 

The Learning Labs are a great opportunity for all students and graduates to come along to experiment and trial new ideas.  You can run a 20-minute session and have an audience to give you feedback on a new concept that you have.  Trainers will also be in the Learning Labs and presenting, so it’s a great time to come along.  You can come any time, whenever it’s on and as many times as you want to.  There’s no limit!  For all details including, times, days and bridge line visit the Academic Calendar.

With our next graduation just a few weeks away, we would like to take this opportunity to remind students who are planning to graduate in June to register now.

Registration will allow students to nominate which ceremony they will be attending, along with completing details for certification.  A formal invitation will be sent out to each student who registers, 2 weeks prior to graduation.

At this time we request that only students graduating in June 2009, complete their registration.  Registration for September graduation will open once the June celebration has taken place.
