First, please allow me to introduce myself: my name is Amy Shuman and I am honored to be your ICF Sacramento chapter president! I have been coaching for four years, and am certified with ICF and Gallup (any other CliftonStrengths fans out there?). If you are on LinkedIn you can see more about me; I would love to connect! Oh, and while you are there, pop over to our chapter page and hit "follow."
So, now I suppose you are expecting some words of wisdom. Fair enough. {crickets}
Turns out it's a lot of pressure when you are trying to be profound. What can I offer to a group of coaches who are, themselves, experts in areas of personal development and reflection? I must admit, I considered copying past-president Laurie Cozart's message from this time last year...
Joking aside, I'd like to share what's on my mind as I think about the months ahead.
I am looking forward to:
- building from a solid foundation established by past chapter leaders,
- getting to see the new board members in action, and how their talents can bring our vision to life,
- creating efficiencies and maximizing the time of our volunteers through setting goals, timelines and getting to work,
- hearing from all of you on ways we can best serve our members,
- celebrating our inevitable successes!
You, the people who comprise this group, are changing the world on a daily basis. The work you do has positive ripple effects beyond what any of us can imagine! How powerful this work is; how critical you are.
I'll be in touch through the monthly newsletters, on social media and, of course, at as many events as I can attend. We hope to see you on Zoom, various platforms, and at some in-person events we anticipate hosting throughout the year! More to come on that.
One last thing (I hope you are still reading): please fill out the member survey (below) to help us design our year with your preferences in mind (it's short).
With gratitude,
Amy Shuman, PCC
President
