The coaching profession is now discovering the importance of working with our clients’ feelings and imagination. We will explore the controversy surrounding this topic, look at the relevant research and learn to use powerful Goal Imagery® coaching tools to tap the subconscious power of feelings and imagination within ourselves and our clients for self-discovery, better rapport, to increase motivation, clarify goals and help your clients to create meaningful and effective strategy to achieve them.

You will:

- Learn to apply your feelings and imagination to be a better coach.

- Utilize Goal Imagery® for creating congruence between subconscious needs and conscious goals.

- Learn how to motivate your clients using their own metaphors, imagination and feelings.

- Use your client’s feelings and imagination to help them create meaningful and effective strategy.

PACA Celebrates 10 Years:

Pictures of our Past and Visions of the Future
Kick-Off Gala - October 16, 2008 

In 1998, two coaches sat around a small table at the City Line Diner imagining what a community of coaches in  Philadelphia  might look like. This small gathering quickly blossomed into three members and then four.  And then before you know it, a name and a larger venue needed to be chosen.
 
Ten years later, we're known as the Philadelphia Area Coaches Alliance, boast an active membership of 125, and are known as the place for professional coaches.
 
To celebrate, PACA is embarking on a year-long series of activities, beginning with the 10th Anniversary Gala!  We are honored to have one of the early pioneers of coaching, Dr. Patrick Williams, EdD, MCC, as the keynote speaker for the October 16 event.  He will offer insights on the legacy of coaching and give us a remarkable perspective on the future possibilities that exist for the profession.

Save the date and be on the lookout for more details! For more information, please contact Clare Sautter by email: Claresautter@comcast.net or by phone at 610-304-5829.

ICF Credential Mentoring Call

Open as a PACA MEMBER BENEFIT: 4th Thursday (except as noted) of every month from 7 PM to 8 PM. Call on PACA Bridge Line: 712-429-0700 PIN: 343865

Next Series:

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Thursday, September 25, 2008

 

Contact to register: Ken Abrams, MCC-ICF Credential Committee Chair, Ken@KenAbrams.com

How does this work? Volunteers are needed to act as a client and be the coach for each call. Coaches listening on the call are asked to be silent. They have an opportunity to say what they noticed after Ken's debrief but no assessment/criticism of the coaching. The intent is for the learning of both the practice coach and coaches listening in.

It is truly meant to be fun and is designed to give ICF credential prospects the opportunity to practice for their 'live' portion of the ACC / PCC / MCC exam. The call will be set up as if the candidate is being tested.

It is also an extremely valuable learning experience for ALL coaches - even the most experienced!

What to expect on the call:

• There will be a brief introduction of the process by Ken Abrams.
• The assumption will be that the Coach-Client relationship is established.
• It is not necessary for the Coach to introduce themselves or interview the Client as to coachability.
• The Coach will coach the Client for about 20-25 minutes.
• Debrief will be 10-15 minutes.
• Ken Abrams, will listen and 'score' the Coach

Interested? Contact Ken Abrams at 610-240-4857 or Ken@KenAbrams.com. Space is limited to 20 participants, including Ken, the coach and their client.

PACA may make an audio recording of this call only with permission of the participants. PACA members will have access to the recording in the Members Area of PACA's website.
