Current Events & News

• March 2 - Emotional Intelligence Certification Workshop begins
• March 17 - ICF-NYC Monthly Meeting
• April 17 - Coaching Through Fear
• April 17 - How to Thrive as a Cheif Everything Officer

March, the month we start looking ahead to warmer weather and outdoor activities and endless possibilities. And that's what we are doing here at ICF. Appropriately enough, this month's meeting falls on St. Patrick's Day (March 17th), and Shoya Zichy, the creator of the internationally-popular Color Q, will be our presenter. Come and find out what it really means to be green (or red, blue and gold)! Did you know that green is the most common color for coaches? Shoya will tell you why. This is sure to be an interesting and fun meeting.

And if you ever wondered if anyone reads the evaluations we ask you to complete after every meeting, this should answer that question. When Dr. Jeffrey Hull presented his “Coaching Through Fear” presentation, most of the evaluations begged us to bring him back. Well, we are! On April 17th, Dr. Hull will be conducting a half-day workshop jam-packed with revolutionary ideas and coaching tools galore. Read all about both events below. Keep letting us know what you want to get out of our ICF-NYC meetings. We're listening!

In 2007 Shoya Zichy introduced us to a brand new way to look at ourselves and our clients - Color Q. After years of presenting her unique model all around the US and launching it internationally, she is back with her latest research of what her personality model says about you and your clients':

• Best work environment
• Attitude towards money and salary negotiation,
• Work-related strengths and blind spots and more.

Saturday, 4/17/10, 12:30pm - 5:30pm Topic: Coaching Clients (and You!) Through Fear: De-Bunking the Myths, Getting Results Presenter: Jeffrey W. Hull, Ph.D. (Back by popular demand!)

An Advanced Interactive Workshop
What remains one of the crucial stumbling blocks to a successful coaching engagement? You guessed it: Transforming a clients' DREAD of change...into delight in the process! Today's successful life coaches need to be especially effective at supporting their clients—and themselves—in facing down fear, getting UN-STUCK...and into action.

Using real-life case studies and research from his new book, Dr Jeffrey Hull is offering an in-depth, experiential workshop with specific techniques and practices for raising your, and your clients, "fear awareness." His unique, time-tested "Life-Shifting" ™ method will demonstrate:

• The nature of fear and how it shows up in coaching engagements
• How to recognize fear in a client and how to help them move through it
• How to dive below the surface symptoms and raise the client's (and your own!) "fear awareness"
• How to coach clients through fear using exercises that bring into play body, mind, and heart
• The five key myths that surround fear and how to de-bunk them

Whether you are new to life coaching, or a seasoned professional, this workshop will give you an opportunity to learn at least five specific practices that you can use to detect and move through fear in your own life, as well as how to apply the exercises with clients.

Jeffrey Hull, Ph.D. is a writer, psychotherapist, life and executive coach whose work ranges from single individuals in private practice to major engagements with Fortune 500 corporations, such as ATT and MasterCard International. Dr. Hull has been featured in the New York Times, Investor's Business Daily, and appeared on Good Morning America. His new book, Shift!
