Three months until 2010 (can you believe it?), and ICF-NYC is going to keep you busy until then! First of all, we have an exciting FREE opportunity for you – a teleclass with world-renowned David Rock, one of the thought leaders in the global coaching profession who founded brain-based coaching in 2004. Mark your calendar for October 6th, and get all the details below. Then it's off to fun and spontaneity in our October meeting with Sue Walden, Founder of ImprovWorks! She will be revealing "Improvisational Skills to Boost Your Coaching." How could you not enjoy that? At this meeting you will also get a chance to meet the candidates for the 2010 Board of Directors for ICF-NYC. Members, don't forget

to vote in November! And we are finishing off our 2009 speakers with iPEC's President of Coach Training Luke Iorio. I have heard nothing but rave reviews for their "Energy Leadership Program," and at our November meeting he's going to give us a sample of what makes this such a special coaching tool. Check out the details at the ICF-NYC events page. Because of the state of the global economy and our individual economies, we decided that this may not be the year for a big fancy (and costly) party. So we will wish you a happy and healthy holiday in December and give you a chance to rest up for an exciting 2010 with ICF-NYC! Wait until you hear what we have planned for our January meeting! Just a reminder: ICF Members, you have until October 5th to vote for the Global ICF Board of Directors. You can find information about the candidates and the ballot here.

Wednesday, 10/21/09, 6:00pm - 8:30pm Topic: Improvisation Skills to Boost Your Coaching Presenter: Sue Walden, Founder of ImprovWorks!, Author, Trainer

What do improvisers have in common with coaches?

• intensive skills training
• a treasure chest of techniques and tools
• work that evolves in the moment
• challenges that require them to respond to what is happening and what is needed, and
• the ability to hold both long and short-term goals at the same time

Join us for out-and-out fun and exploration in this lively, interactive session that will provide you with a hands-on experience of how improv skills can support, expand and boost your coaching skills. And if you just can't get enough of adding both new tools to your coaching tool box and spontaneous, effective passion to your sessions and presentations, Sue will be in town all weekend doing special events (check it out at www.improvworks.org ). She will tell you all about it at the meeting.

Sue Walden is the Founder and Director of ImprovWorks!, an organization dedicated to building life/business skills through improvisation. Sue is a skilled improvisational theater teacher, a dynamic corporate facilitator, an engaging speaker, the author of Working with Groups to Enhance Relationships, and, for 25 years, the director and regular performer with San Francisco's longest-running improvisational theater company, "Flash Family".

Wednesday, 11/18/09, 6:00pm - 8:30pm Topic: ENERGY LEADERSHIP: Transforming Your Clients from the Core Presenter: Luke Iorio, PCC, CEC, AELC and President, iPEC's Coach Training Division

Why do certain clients surge forward nearly effortlessly, while others struggle to find their place? The answer: Energy and Engagement. Seven levels of energy determine how your clients see the world and each person in it, including themselves. Now you can influence and inspire them to take powerful, purposeful action and change the way they perceive their circumstances, react during challenges, as well as communicate with and lead others.

Developed from the best-selling, raved-about book Energy Leadership, in this interactive workshop you will learn about:

• The Results Cycle and Perception Trap
• The Energy Action Model
• The 7 Levels of Energy
• Shifting Your Energy
• Creating Sustainable Change

Luke Iorio, PCC, CEC, AELC, helps thousands of people each year become coaches by overseeing all aspects of iPEC operations, such as strategic planning, business development, sales management, joint ventures, and creating strategic alliances. In addition, he often serves as a public speaker on a number of topics that include the Power of Coaching, Energy Leadership, leadership skills, effective communications, small business practices, marketing, and business development.
