ICF Sacramento Chapter President’s Message

Besides beautiful weather and outdoor fun, what does March and springtime mean to our ICF Sacramento Chapter? First and foremost, it’s ICF Global membership renewal time! This is the time when we recommit not only to our professional coaching association, but to our profession; when we show our desire to advance alongside outstanding professional and credentialed coaches; and when we proudly claim that, as Global ICF members, we are raising our excellence, integrity and collaboration to the highest international standards in the industry – the Gold Standard, as ICF calls it.

At 23 years old, this tiny association created by Thomas Leonard in 1995 has seen explosive growth. We are 30,000 members strong with 131 chapters in 70 countries (in 2017), and growing every day. ICF Global works hard to be at the forefront of the coaching profession and to maintain the highest quality credentialing process.

Your continued membership makes us all shine. Thank you for renewing before March 31 on our website. What do you say we beat all chapters in renewal membership rate percentage’s this year? Let’s do it!

In other news this month, we are delighted to present our first Lunch & Learn on Wednesday the 28th at Noon (in person meeting), and the first Core Competency Call on Thursday the 22nd at 6:00 pm (virtual meeting). You can sign up on our chapter website. We have listened to you and are proposing a variety of days and times among our three monthly events to accommodate as many of you as possible. We are excited and cannot wait for you to join us.

Finally, this month I will be going to the ICF Global Leader Forum (GLF) in Vancouver (Tina Shaw attended it last year in Poland). GLF is the yearly gathering of ICF chapter leaders from around the world. For three days, I will proudly represent YOU to the rest of the ICF community and expect to come back eager to share valuable information and knowledge with you.

In the meantime, I will see you at Dr. Maria Nemeth’s presentation “Establishing a Powerful Coaching Presence” on March 13. Please register for that as well.

On behalf of the entire Board, I wish you a lovely passage into springtime.

To your coaching success,

Coleen Chandler, PCC, CPCC
President, ICF Sacramento

How to Establish A Masterful Coaching Presence

Presented by: Dr. Maria Nemeth, PhD, MCC

It is no secret that our ability to establish and maintain a true “coaching presence” with our clients is at the heart of resilient and powerful partnerships with them.

The question becomes: “How can we do this masterfully?” That is to say: "with the skill of a master?"

In this seminar, what we mean by “with the skill of a master” is where the coaching presence is performed:

predictably,
with ease, and
over a variety of situations.

In this hands-on seminar, we’ll explore some time-tested ways that empower a coach to:

respond to both the whole person of the client as well as what the client wants to accomplish in each session,
be observant, empathetic, and responsive,
notice and explore energy shift in the client,
partner with the client by encouraging them to "work out" their own learning.

These four skills are some of the ICF “markers” for “Coaching Presence” and are used in observed coaching feedback and evaluation.

We will show you how to master them quickly! You’ll be given a specific tool that you can use to create “coaching presence” in virtually any situation.

Please come ready for a creative, fun evening. We will encourage anyone who would like to be coached to step forward so that all can see how this tool works.

Core Competency Teleclass: Meeting Ethical Guidelines and Professional Standards

Did you know, that as ICF Coaches, it is our job to uphold the high standards of the coaching profession. Do you know what those standards are? Join us this month for our first interactive Teleclass featuring the ICF Core Competencies, where you will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the Code of Conduct. Guests who are interested in learning more about professional coaching standards are also welcome.

This will be an interactive session, so please come prepared to ask questions, share your experiences and explore the boundaries of professional conduct for coaching.

NEW!! Lunch & Learn Series

Do you have burning questions that you’d like to gain clarity and insight about? Or, have you discovered “the solution” to some challenge and you’d love to share it? If either of these sounds like you, then join ICF Sacramento for our debut Lunch & Learn Session on Wednesday March 28th! These informal lunch get-togethers are an opportunity for coaches of all kinds to come together, and with a focus on coaching, discuss challenges, exchange ideas, explore solutions, share experiences, insights and wisdom.

This month’s topic - Where are your ideal clients? Do you know?

Pack up, bring your sack lunch, business cards, and, of course, all your questions, and come ready to connect, share, listen, support and take advantage of this opportunity to learn from the experiences and wisdom of your fellow coaches. We look forward to seeing you and hearing your unique ideas and insights.
