PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

May 2018 

Dear ICF coaches and friends of ICF Sacramento,

Spring is flying by and our chapter is buzzing with activities and “premieres”.

    Board meetings go long as Directors brim with ideas and discuss ardently ways to make them happen. Monthly on-site events, where we offer high quality speakers on dedicated coaching topics, are well attended. In May, we offered our second hybrid in-person/virtual class, which brought yet another dimension to our monthly meetings. So what are we up to?

    We had two major “premieres” this spring:

    • We launched our first Lunch & Learn event on March 28, led by Melna Jones;
    • In addition to our regular monthly meeting, we held our first Core Competency call on March 22 on Ethics Foundation, which I facilitated.

    Both were well received and brought extra value to our members and non-members alike. The feedback is clear: our members like the variety we now offer.

    In parallel, the effervescent energy around the preparation for International Coaching Week (ICW) reached its peak on May 7 to May 11 when ICF Sacramento brought the power of coaching to the community with four successful events. We believe that these events will bring strong alliances between the business community and our chapter to help you position your talents in the coaching marketplace.

    A BIG thank you to our event hosts:

    • The Sacramento Chamber of Commerce
    • Sacramento River Bank
    • COWO (a brand new co-working facility located in midtown Sacramento)

    You gave us the opportunity to share the benefits of coaching (and our passion for this beloved profession) with your members and your staff. We had a fantastic time coaching with you.

    A special mention and our HUGE appreciation to the ICW Team, which rocked under the leadership of our lead organizer, Lean Ferry, ACC, and her two right hands, Diane Garga, ACC and Tina Shaw, PCC. Our super pro-active ICW committee and about fourteen volunteer coaches brought the spirit and mission of ICW to the Sacramento region. We acknowledge and thank you all.

    We can bring you these initiatives because, among other things, the chapter has an adequate budget for season 2017-2018. It’s you, our members, who make it possible by participating in our events and, yes, by renewing your membership. And it’s that time of year again.

    Have You Renewed Your ICF Membership? If yes, thank you. We are very grateful for your ongoing support. If not, please renew here for ICF Global, and renew here for ICF Sacramento. To succeed, ICF Sacramento needs every one of its members.  

    We have two exciting speakers for you in June: Gloria Manchester, ACC and David Drake, PhD. Go to ICFsacramento.org to learn (and register) about their event.

    And be sure to check out our May/June newsletter for more information.

    As I witness the strides made since January 1st thanks to the greatness of our board and our coaches, I feel deeply privileged to serve you and this profession. Don't hesitate to come say hello during our meetings. I always enjoy it.

    On behalf of the entire board, I wish you continued fun and growth this spring.

    To your coaching success,

    Coleen Chandler, PCC, CPCC
    President, ICF Sacramento
