• July 16 - ICF-NYC Monthly Meeting
• July 17 - iPEC Power of Choice Workshop
• July 24 - ICF-NYC Coaches Connection
• August 6 - ICF-NYC Special Event

June has definitely been a banner month for ICF-NYC. We literally got our new Welcome Banner to use at all our events and meetings. The monthly meeting was a sellout with great information provided by Brenda Smith. Included was how companies can benefit from Executive Coaching, hold on to valuable employees and stimulate productivity.

Our all-day event on June 21, 2008 was also very successful. 30 participants joined ICF-NYC for Michelle Schubnel's Attract Great Clients & Fill Your Practice Fast! Workshop. We walked away with a toolbox full of tips, tried-and-proven techniques, action plans for getting clients, inspiration to keep us going, and a lot of laughs. We learned how to create Compelling Hard-to-Ignore Messages, conduct step-by-step successful Complimentary Consultations, develop Pricing Structures, keep our Marketing Trains fueled and on track, Coach and Sell through Objections, establish Strategic Relationships, and by Michelle's own shining example how to captivate and control a room so that your message comes through loud and clear. This was definitely a productive and informative Saturday!

Next up on July 16, 2008 is C.J. Hayden, MCC and best-selling author, who will speak on What's Stopping You from Getting Clients...and What To Do About It.

Also August 6, 2008 will be a special evening with Caterina Rando. She will speak on Innovate, Initiate, Accelerate; How to Consistently Attract Clients with Ease.

Wait until you see what's coming up this fall!
