Beginning in September 2008, ICA will launch a Chinese CPCP (Certified Professional Coach Program), to Chinese speaking coaches, from mainland China as well as Chinese speaking coaches living overseas.

“The program will be identical to our English program in every single aspect, except it will be conducted in Chinese putonghua language. For the existing ICA Chinese speaking coaches, this means that you can now choose to post your learning to the Chinese learning site, and conduct your peer coaching and supervised coaching in Chinese. To the mainland Chinese or the overseas Chinese, this will be one of the first internationally accredited coach training programs for Chinese speaking coaches,” said Bronwyn Bowery-Ireland.

My name is Sally Bridger and, as the Marketing Manager for ICA I often think about how we can improve the quality and relevance of the information we send to you about coach training.

Yesterday it struck me! Instead of - ME - deciding what information you need for your research, it would be more powerful to ask YOU what - you - want to know.

So I have set up a web page for you to do exactly that.

Ask us your question(s) — > http://tinyurl.com/2s5ql5

Our enrollment team will respond to all questions personally, and we will use the information to compile a list of FAQ’s that will be shared with the world. We will make them available via our website and also send them to you for your own personal use.

And to thank you for your time, all those who submit a question, will be eligible for a 10% discount on the Certified Professional Coach Training Program (CPCP) with ICA. This represents a saving of over $480usd and is a fantastic opportunity to join a global, and icf accredited, coach training school.

With Kurt Stewart and Alexandra Pereira

In this interview, ICA student Alexandra Pereira (based in Lisbon) talks with Kurt Stewart, ICA’s project manager for international development. Alexandra talks about her experience with ICA as a non-native speaker of English and the advantages of training as a coach in a multi-cultural learning environment.

Alexandra has a background in counselling and came to coaching while working on her Master’s thesis which focused on the coaching profession of her country, Portugal. The results of her two years of research formed the basis of her pioneering book, Coaching in Portugal, which as become an important reference for coaches throughout Portugal. (more…)

With Alex Mandossian and Lou D’Alo

Those of you who are familiar with ICA trainer Lou D’Alo will not be surprised to see that he has hooked up with undisputed teleseminar heavyweight champ Alex Mandossian.

Inspired by what he learned in Alex’s Teleseminar Secrets course, Lou rapidly built a bustling coaching business using teleseminars and joint ventures as virtually his only marketing strategies and now teaches his clients and subscribers to do the same.

Now, Alex has agreed to do a one-time private and exclusive call with Lou especially for coaches. Because you’re part of the ICA community, you’re invited as a VIP guest.

This will be a content-rich 90 minutes especially for coaches, including a Q&A session where Alex will answer as many of your most important questions as possible.

You’ll learn the time-tested teleseminar secrets that will fill your client roster, build an endless stream of potential new clients, establish yourself as an authority, and create multiple passive streams of revenue - all from the comfort of your home.
