Sparks! That's what the month of July is all about. Firecrackers and sparklers and celebrations of independence. Appropriately that's what our speaker David Goldsmith will be talking about—how to create and maintain the spark in your coaching practice. This is truly a presentation for all coaches. If you're just starting out, how do you make your coaching style special, and if you've been around for years, how do you keep the magic going? Come and find out on the 21st.

The ICF-NYC article in the June issue of Coaching World (page 16 at www.coachfederation.org/includes/docs/June-2010-FINAL-2.pdf) also deals with keeping the coaching momentum going and providing support and learning opportunities for each other. And July 15th Kim Ades' "What's Journaling got to do with it?" free webinar will introduce another tool to increase your coaching practice. So ICF-NYC is neither lazy nor hazy in these summer days of July. Join us! If you haven't renewed your ICF membership yet and still want to, there are special (but simple) procedures that have to be followed now. Email me at laurie@eljnyc.com and I will walk you through the process. There is no Members Meeting in August. Relax and get ready because we are bringing in Fall with a fantastic presentation by Michelle Schubnel in September. Read all about it in our newsletter. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Wednesday, 7/21/10, 6:00pm - 8:30pm Topic: Finding and Keeping Your Coaching Edge (2 CCEU's granted to attendees) Presenter: David Goldsmith, MCC, Former President of CoachU

Competition in the coaching world is stiff. How do you put yourself ahead of the game and keep your coaching skills and techniques sharp, especially if you have been coaching for a while? Pioneer Coach David Goldsmith will reveal the secret to getting and keeping the edgy part of you in your coaching, a topic of interest to both beginning coaches and seasoned coaches everywhere.

David will disclose emerging styles and techniques to continue to stimulate your clients' growth and forward progress. In this intriguing and stimulating presentation you will explore:

• The value and direction of longer-term coaching relationships.
• What happens as the collaborative arrangement between coach and client spans considerable time.
• The changes in these relationships as they evolve from early trust-based partnerships into more knowing exchanges.
• How to keep your coaching current, on course, and cutting edge.

Free ICF-NYC Webinar!

July 15, 2010  •  12:00pm ET

Presenter: Kim Ades, Creator/Founder of Frame of Mind Coaching and JournalEngine Software
Format: Webinar

What if there was a special tool that could increase referrals to you for coaching, promote repeat business with your clients, and make looking for the next client easy? Too good to be true? Not according to Kim Ades. And she's telling all in this free webinar!

Join us on July 15th at 12 PM to find out how her online journaling tool can dramatically increase your referral and repeat business in the following ways:

1. By having your clients write about their lives in between coaching calls, you deepen your relationship and gain access to critical information you never had access to before, thus helping clients reach their goals faster.
   
2. Because client growth is literally in writing—documented in the journal—it is easy for the client to see their progression and growth. Now it is seamless for the client to attribute all of their success to you, their coach.
   
3. Clients stay engaged after their coaching time is up. They still come back to their online journal monthly, weekly or even daily to write and connect with other members in our online journaling community. You don't have to ask them to come back, they do it on their own.

You're sitting on a goldmine of repeat and referral business but you don't know how to access it. The answer is an online journaling community.

Kim Ades, MBA, is internationally renowned for her innovation and passion in the coaching industry. With clients all over the world, from Malaysia, to South Africa, Canada, and the US, Kim and her team of coaches have transformed the process of coaching through the creation of JournalEngine™ Software and are taking the coaching industry by storm. Join the storm on Thursday, July 15th!
