Get In Before The Price Rise

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

We want to give you a heads up that, as of the 31st March, the prices of our coaching training programs will increase.

If you have ever considered coaching as a career, or addition to your existing skills, then now is the time to act.

One of the most important things I understood, but never really knew or applied is that everyone is gifted, everyone is wise, everyone knows their own answers, but not everyone can get there on their own.

Sometimes it takes a good coach to brush the leaves from the path and lead them back to themselves. Society as a whole tends to search outside themselves for the answers that you only find within. I learned a great coach is more than a skilled guide, they are also a sharp intuition, a gut feel, a compassionate listener,and an advocate mixed with a professional armed with the right skills and tools themselves. I’ve learned the best coaches are the best and most willing learners. They are willing to shift perspective, reframe, and be gentle in their insistance and persistance. I learned to discern rather than judge and that there is no right and wrong, but only another way

I love that feeling of an international community at ICA, lots of people with different stories and experiences, with a lot of room for different opinions and views in mutual respect. For me the ICA program was the vehicle on a journey of change.

In my experience, ICA has exceptional instructors. They come from a vast array of life experiences and are creative and inspiring in their approaches to the materials.

Some of the most valuable things I’ve learned through ICA are: Coaching is not about giving advice or suggestions! Within the client are all the answers, my job is to help uncover them. Powerful questions, requests and feedback move people forward. Coaching is patient as well as provocative. Coaching is an art. Coaching is a valuable service to offer my fellow human beings and there are infinite avenues to deliver it!

Several years ago I did some soul searching and found that I was in need of a change with the direction of my life. Something challenging, mind and soul stimulating and rewarding in all aspects. After doing some research on the web and speaking to several friends, I discovered ICA.

My journey with ICA has been a ’six star by far’ experience. It is fantastic being surrounded and supported by wonderful trainers and students with similar goals and values and seeing first hand the differene the coaching process can make.

Shift Your Perspective to Create Positivity and Possibility

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Last week 51 students graduated from our Certified Professional Coach Program (CPCP). As with every graduation, it is a special time to reflect on our achievements; the achievements of our students, our trainers, our support staff, and the whole ICA community. I welcome each graduate into our Alumni and look forward to working with you.

During our graduation ceremony I spoke about the opportunities for positivity and possibility. I had been watching a documentary on television about a school that had a religious divide. Some students belonged to a certain religion and had certain beliefs and behaviours. One day the school decided to hold a discussion calling in all the students around 18 years of age to discuss this divide. The students entered the room and sat in groups according to their views. The room ended up having one side completely for the religious group and the other opposed to the behaviours of the religious group. The discussion or rather debate went on for about an hour with a great amount of heated conversation. The school had invited a speaker who was of the religious group but had decided to stand out and not follow their behaviours.
