Who We Are & Our Readership
We are the participants of the International Coaching Federation
(ICF) - Orange County Chapter. Our purpose is to provide education,
community and resources to practicing professional coaches in building
thriving and impactful businesses.
Our Goals Are:
• To support, create, model, inspire and build the coaching
profession;
• To increase the skills and effectiveness of our members.
• To raise the awareness of the wider community about the
coaching profession.
• To provide a network through which our members can learn
of and share opportunities.
• To provide a forum wherein our members can discuss issues
of professional concern.
• To provide the opportunity for our members to collaborate
in providing resources and solutions for their clients.
• To encourage the development of coaching competencies among
coaches
• To promote well-being, profitability and sustainability
within our own businesses
The readers of our newsletter, OC-Insights, are coaches, and members
of ICF, committed to the life long learning and coaching excellence
of this profession. Our coaches come from a diversity of prior industries
and work experiences. They include former teachers, policymakers,
public relations, corporate executives, licensed therapists, human
resources, and sales professionals, just to mention a few. We strive
to gather works from distinguished writers and thinkers seeking
to reach new understandings of the universal human need and how
coaching can transform that experience.
Diversity of Article Content
We encourage authors to submit article proposals dealing with the
concerns and topics of the quintessence of global humanity such
as, diverse cultural communities, social action, public reform,
vitality & wellness, intuition, organizational change, spirituality,
aging, artist creativity, and the nurturing of relationships. You
can now share in this collective process to enlighten and provide
new viewpoints for reflection. We will consider every article but
cannot guarantee that they will be published. All submittals will
be edited for content and copyedited for the style appropriate to
our readership.
Who Can Submit: - All participants' submissions of the ICF-OC Chapter are welcome and articles will be published on acceptance by the ICF-OC Board and based on the Publications Director's plans for the newsletter.
- Non-participants of the ICF-OC Chapter are welcome to submit one article only which will be published on acceptance by the ICF-OC Board and based on the Publications Director's plans for the newsletter.
