This will be a fantastic opportunity to understand more about the International Coaching Federation (ICF), its purpose, how it operates, and how it can help you succeed!! 

 

Our event is on November 10th, 11:30 am to 1:15 pm. Sara Smith will lead an exploration of

  • Why coaching is so important in these times.
  • The purpose, operations, and offerings of the ICF including the benefits of membership.
  • Best practices crossing her desk, as the chair of a global ICF board in a time of great change and disruption.
  • How the ICF can help you, “coach more, coach better, coach connected”. 

And, you will have an opportunity to ask questions, engage other participants in breakout groups, and influence our chapter to be of extraordinary impact in 2021.

 

If you have attended many of our events this year, we look forward to seeing you for this culmination of the year.  If you have not been able to make events or if you are an ICF coach who is not a part of our chapter, this is an outstanding opportunity to reconnect.
