President’s Message

Spring has sprung into high gear, hasn't it? Even with our "May Gray" moving into "June Gloom" here in Southern California we are getting wonderful glimpses of brilliant and clear warm weather. Besides that old fog reminds us that "we do too have seasons!

Back to the sprung spring... wasn't our BCE Program wonderful this past month? Rich Hessler proves to be an incredible resource for technological options for coaches. His handouts alone are worth gold to those who are remembering that it is necessary to build a solid structure of support in the form of our businesses in order to support us in being a successful coach or coaching company.

Calling all ACC’s, PCC’s, and MCC’s


Next Chapter Meeting Thursday, June 8th

Business Coaching In Excellence Program
5:00 - 6:00pm

How to Get Your ICF Credentials
As a coach, one of the best ways to build credibility is to have an International Coach Federation credential beside your name. But with everything that goes into getting your business started, you may not have the time or energy to spend researching the process and completing the steps. In our June Business and Coaching Excellence program we will review the process of how to get credentialed through ICF, step-by-step, and also hear personal experiences and tips from those who have completed the process successfully. Come join us and leave with an easy plan to get yourself credentialed within the next year. If enough people are interested, we will form a support group for those would like to complete the process together.

Credentialed coaches – come share your stories and your mentor coaching services – for more info click here.

Headliner Event:
6:30 - 8:30pm

All in the Family! Coaching the New Frontier for Change
Presented by: Daniel Holmes

Join fellow coaches in a lively evening of “family” fun and laughter. Family Coach and Trainer, Daniel Holmes will bring smiles, insight and possibility to the lucrative and fast-growing market of Family Coaching.

Learn how your clients are intrinsically affected by the interactions of their immediate family. Find out why family can be an integral part of an individual’s positive growth. Discover your own ontological connections to family and how they may be shaping your current perspective of the world around you. Engage in the possibility of bringing Family Coaching into your current practice.

This hour will assist coaches to bring stronger trust and intimacy into their coaching relationships by understanding familial links. Coaches may also broaden a client’s life perspective in the family roles they play against the backdrop of positive social change.

Risk Using Your Imagination
by Bradley Ann Morgan

How many times have you found yourself in an office meeting, a homeowner’s association, or even a school board meeting when the present issues needed some new thinking for resolution? Where is the license for the use of imagination? The common use of the term, imagination, is the process of forming in the mind new images which have not been previously experienced. Children’s fairy tales, science fiction novels, and the latest video games are fine examples of true ‘no limits’ thinking. What keeps us from releasing our imagination, opening the doors on our locked treasures of creativity? Is the capacity for imagintive thought only for the use of an enlightened group of people?
