What Are People Saying?

One of the most important things I understood, but never really knew or applied is that everyone is gifted, everyone is wise, everyone knows their own answers, but not everyone can get there on their own.
Sometimes it takes a good coach to brush the leaves from the path and lead them back to themselves. Society as a whole tends to search outside themselves for the answers that you only find within. I learned a great coach is more than a skilled guide, they are also a sharp intuition, a gut feel, a compassionate listener,and an advocate mixed with a professional armed with the right skills and tools themselves. I've learned the best coaches are the best and most willing learners. They are willing to shift perspective, reframe, and be gentle in their insistance and persistance. I learned to discern rather than judge and that there is no right and wrong, but only another way

I love that feeling of an international community at ICA, lots of people with different stories and experiences, with a lot of room for different opinions and views in mutual respect. For me the ICA program was the vehicle on a journey of change.

In my experience, ICA has exceptional instructors. They come from a vast array of life experiences and are creative and inspiring in their approaches to the materials.
Some of the most valuable things I've learned through ICA are: Coaching is not about giving advice or suggestions! Within the client are all the answers, my job is to help uncover them. Powerful questions, requests and feedback move people forward. Coaching is patient as well as provocative. Coaching is an art. Coaching is a valuable service to offer my fellow human beings and there are infinite avenues to deliver it!

Several years ago I did some soul searching and found that I was in need of a change with the direction of my life. Something challenging, mind and soul stimulating and rewarding in all aspects. After doing some research on the web and speaking to several friends, I discovered ICA.
My journey with ICA has been a 'six star by far' experience. It is fantastic being surrounded and supported by wonderful trainers and students with similar goals and values and seeing first hand the differene the coaching process can make.
Why You Need to Be There
There are 2 reasons you should do everything in your power to attend this event
1. This is cutting edge use of coaching. You may have learnt how to be a coach and how to work with individual clients, but in these two days your thinking will be expanded to look at how coaching, as a process, has the capacity to change the way we work. Forever.
It is already happening in many organizations, and in Shanghai we will look at how you can make it happen in your organization, or the organizations you work with/for.
2. This event coincides with the ICA Management Team getting together to do strategic planning. So it is a wonderful opportunity to meet students, graduates and staff.
So if you are in the region, or can find a way to be in the region, please come along and join us on this exciting occasion, a moment in history!
