Hi Fellow Coaches,

A group of swans is a ‘bevy,’ a group of owls a ‘parliament,’ mules are a ‘pack,’ and jellyfish gather in a ‘smack’. Toads form a ‘knot,’ and many leopards traveling together are a ‘leap’ (my personal favorite).  

But what would you call a group of coaches? 

I can’t wait to hear your answers!

In the meantime, we are heading into November, a month with many opportunities for families and communities to gather in celebration, awareness and/or remembrance. At ICF-CT, we hope that your gatherings for Diwali, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, Veterans Day and more are safe and satisfying. 

Join us November 19th for our Chapter Meeting when our very own Larry Ackerman will talk about coaching through the lens of identity, “How can you succeed if you don’t know who you are?” (Note the earlier meeting date due to the Thanksgiving holiday.)

There’s nothing like coming together for ICF-CT planned events such as our Coach Cafes and the return of the Coaching Circle, Coaching Women Leaders.  We know that meeting up with other coaches 1:1 or in small group ‘coffee’ chats - virtually or in-person - is the glue that makes our unique ICF-CT community even stronger. Go ahead and use the Member Directory to reach out to other coaches before and after any event. 

I truly enjoy speaking with you, our members, so don’t be shy!  Contact me to chat.

Believing in you,

Judy

How can you succeed, if you don't know who you are? In this webinar, Larry will explore the 8 essential questions for finding your purpose and place in the world and how coaches can help their clients -- and themselves -- answer these questions. These questions provide a framework that will help individuals live a more meaningful, robust life, allowing them to realize their potential for making a unique and lasting contribution in the world. Coaches will be able to apply the principles and practices of identity-based living to themselves and to their clients. 

When you participate in this interactive presentation, you will:

Realize how to change from a changeless foundation

• Understand the underpinnings of identity-based living
• Be able to apply the principles and practices of identity-based living
• Realize how to change from a changeless foundation

Each of our Coaching Circles is a topic-based, member-only group that offers a safe and intimate environment where experienced ICF Certified Coaches gather to help each other to grow, share and learn from each other. The meetings are a place where our members can tap into and share their collective resources. Each of us comes with a different and diverse background bringing unique gifts to contribute, and we want to offer a safe and supportive space to share our insights and perspectives, learning from each other while having fun.

The Women’s Leadership Coaching Circle will focus on real-time challenges and opportunities that can arise when coaching female leaders. 

Monthly 75-minute meetings from November 12, 2021 -  June 10, 2022 will provide time to deep-dive into the cultural forces that are shaping coaching conversations and will be based on topics of communal interest.
