Yes, February has arrived and it is officially 2012 from my perspective. To me January is the bridge month that lets us comfortably walk into the New Year. What happens in February? Well there's Groundhog Day, letting us know that if he sees his shadow we'll have six more weeks of winter, Valentine's Day with its hearts and flowers, and President's Day, the celebration of two great presidents.

AND, for us coaches, February 5-11 is International Coaching Week. Since 1999, coaches from around the world have come together during this week to promote and educate the public about the benefits of coaching. ICF-NYC Chapter will be doing its share in getting the message out to our community about our valuable and beneficial profession. Activities such as free coaching sessions, community outreach events, and many more promotions are being planned on a global level. Please go to www.CoachFederation.org to find out what other chapters around the world are planning. Here are some of the activities that the ICF-NYC Board has planned: Thursday, February 2 NY Women in Communications (NYWICI)  ·  6-7:30pm Coaching Salon for 25 members where Terry Yoffe will be talking about the benefits of coaching to "Seasoned Professionals Looking for Jobs" and the benefits of how coaching can guide them. Monday, February 6 Human Resources/New York (HR/NY)  ·  5:30–7:30pm Laser Coaching for approximately 40 HR/NY members Wednesday, February 8 Career Gear  ·  2-4 and 5:30-7:30pm Afternoon and evening sessions of Laser Coaching for Career Gear participants Other activities are in the hopper and we'll keep you all posted. Yes, the coaching profession has grown and many lives have been touched, enriched and changed through coaching. As coaches we know the benefits and value we bring to our clients each day and the difference we are making in the world. We are the agents of change and what more could we ask for at a time when the world is in flux and "Change is the new norm". Be proud of what you do and for those that are thinking of hiring a coach, don't waste another minute, we will change your lives. Go out and participate in this week's activities however you choose to play. We have some wonderful speakers and workshops lined up for you this year, so mark the 3rd Wednesday of the month as ICF-NYC Chapter evening. We look forward to seeing you.
