Explore & Celebrate Coaching

I joined this telseminar as the first time of my telecalss in the moring of 12/23. I was so excited that rehearsaled all kinds of circumstance in my dreams and got the laptop、microphone set、skype out all ready before the class.

ICA invited the newly graduated coaches to come together sharing their insights and experiences with coaching and coach training. The seminar was hosted by Robyn Logan, whos core value in coaching is freedom, even conscientiously arraged issues including：

• why they decided to pursue accredited coach training
• when they started coaching
• how they juggled the everday 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
• the number 1 piece of advice they have for aspiring coaches

We have coaches Andrea Cinnamond, Alicia Boisvert, Steve Hendon, Elsa Wohler from USA and Maria Gu from Finland joined this seminar.

Andrea Cinnamond is raising 3 kids and have completed her study in 2008, she knows how to juggle with time best.

Alicia Boisvert is an expert in Marketing. Several clients of her are kids in high school aged 9-12.

Steve Hendon is a sales manager, joined the CPCP from 2007 June. He juggles with time very well. Steve thinks USA got mature market but awful knowledge about coaching. As I propose my question about which would be the most challenging portion in ICA program, Steve comsidered being a peer coach would be most challenging.He said that managing yourself as a supportor is the very discipline that a good coach should obey.

Maria Gu is a Chiness and now reside in Finland. She got language problems before but found the handout easy to read and understandable. Well-prepared befoing joining the teleclass would helps a lot.

Elsa Wohler is from India and resides in USA. She practice life coaching adn doing yoga in a holy way. She mentioned a noun “KuPalu”, which could be interesting and worth studying. She also metioned the language problems but she thought students from ICA supported her very much.

Their generous sharing was fantastic. After this seminar, I found this the best Christmas gift from ICA and myself.
