Did You Renew Your ICF Membership?

 

Last year, the ICF adopted an annual billing schedule which means everyone's membership expires on March 31st every year.  Did you remember to renew your membership before the March 31st deadline?

 

No?!?  To avoid a lapse in membership benefits and communication from ICF Headquarters, please take a moment to renew your ICF membership today. Once your renewal is processed, your membership expiration date will be March 31, 2009.

 

To renew, please visit:

President's Message

 

Hello Central Ohio Coaches,

 

Barbara BrahamWhat a year 2008 is turning out to be so far!  I personally just love the energy that a New Year offers as so many people move towards making positive changes that enhance their lives. 

 

And speaking of positive things, the Board of Directors and Committee Members of our Association have been working tirelessly towards creating valuable programming and experiences for our Members and Guests.

 

If you have not visited one of our meetings in some time, I urge you to consider giving us another look.  We have so much to offer!  From networking with other like minded professionals, to the interesting speakers we have lined up for the programming year, the COC experience is very valuable.

 

Board of Directors and Committee Projects
There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes in an effort to continually enhance the experience of COC for our members.  From designing a new brochure to use in Public Relations and Member recruitment activities, to creating our association's first Policies and Procedures Manual, we have a very full plate of activities these days.  In fact, if you have ever considered volunteering your time and talent for the betterment of our Association, now would be a great time.

 

Take a moment and ask yourself, "How can I help my Coaching Association become even better?"  Each of us has so many strengths we can leverage in an effort to help create an enhanced COC experience.

 

Committees with openings are:
Public Relations: Contact Holly McFarland
Education: Contact Jessika Ferm
Membership: Contact Kelly LeFevre
Communications: Contact Jerry Browning

 

We are poised for a fruitful future and we want you to be a part of it!  We look forward to seeing you at one of our Upcoming In Person Meetings.

 

I hope to connect with you at an upcoming meeting.  So until we meet then, very best to all of you.

 

                                                   Molly Luffy
                                                   President

Lynn Schoener, Executive and Team Coach

 

"Falling in Love Again: Renewing, Reinventing & Recharging Yourself and Your Coaching Practice"

 

To enrich and sustain a powerful coaching practice long term, it is essential to understand and embrace each phase of the natural, powerful, predictable cycle of change. The emotions and behavioral characteristics of each phase will be discussed, as well as tools, strategies, and suggested activities to gain full benefit of the change process. By identifying and appreciating your current position in the change cycle, powerful plans can begin to emerge in support of personal and professional renewal.

"Story Listening"

 

Story Listening is the ability to hear the unconscious speaking. All of us tell stories, our families have told us stories, we tell stories everyday of our lives.  Story listening is the act of listening to the story by paying attention to several important things. We teach you how to listen to a person's themes (words, phrases, images, concepts, ideas that are repeated over and over again in a person's comments).   In listening for these themes you will also hear a person's beliefs about the world and themselves, the values that come from the beliefs, the patterns that are shaped by the values that show up in a person's behavior. In listening to a client's stories you will know how to bring change.

"The 90% Factor: The Nonverbal Dimension of Coaching: Discover What You Don't Know You Do Know"

 

What if the 90% nonverbal factor that impacts your communications and presence also influences your mind-set, mood, and choices. Dr. Stuart Heller has devoted his life to the study of the verbal - nonverbal connection. In the process, he devised a powerfully simple language of Nature's movements that provides non-judgmental, action-oriented, constructive assessments and practices. Imagine what you can accomplish if you could add the 90% Factor to what you already know and can do.

 

In this program you will learn new distinctions and practices for cultivating the leadership virtues of being Decisive, Listening, Observing, Inspiring, and Centered.
