President's Letter for November 2014

Deepen Your Coaching Mastery with ICF Chicago’s Upcoming Programs

“Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” ~ Stephen Covey

“Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.” ~ Rollo May

ICF Chicago’s theme for November is Establishing Trust and Intimacy. This core competency applies to coaches and clients and to our relationship as a community of coaches.

ICFC is an organic organization that thrives from the life all of us breathe into it. I invite you to be part of the movement to share leadership amongst us. As an organization, we are rich with talent, ideas and energy. Every member is an ICFC leader; we learn from each other, share ideas, participate on a committee or serve as board members.  Creating and sustaining our organization is a rewarding pursuit.  It is a journey versus a destination.

I invite you to deepen your coaching mastery and evolve your relationships in our ICFC community by participating in your monthly programs, coach cafés and ICFC online communities.
