Greetings!
We have some exciting things to share with you this coming week. Below are just some highlights of what we are up to within the Source Point Training community. We have just completed the first 6 months of the year and have loved the support and professionalism you bring to Source Point Training. We are planning new ways to acknowledge each person who we have the opportunity to connect with and continue to expand our community working together.
We are committed to be in relationship with people in a way that is mutually beneficial and supports the work that we are all up to, creating change in our world. And it is about inviting more people to join us in this endeavor as well. As the saying goes, "Many hands make for light work." Just imagine the effectiveness of the "ripple effect" with more coaches, leaders and facilitators working together during these challenging times.
So, enjoy this issue of Source Points, plan on attending our Virtual Office Party on the 20th of July (more information below), and know that we look forward to exciting possibilities that the second half of 2010 will offer. Respectfully, Barbara Fagan & Lou Dozier, Co-Founders Source Point Training |
| Why Become A Coach Now? | |
Tommy Ruff, Director of The Source Institute
Many of us have heard the stories of where coaching originated -- in the fields of business and sports. Athletes have been using sports coaches for years to greatly improve their performance. Michael Jordan had a 'shooting' coach (as well as 5 other coaches) to win six championship rings and numerable MVP awards. Of course, he is extremely talented, and I'm taking a stand that he also became great because of individual coaching.
The International Coach Federation (ICF) has conducted the first worldwide survey of coaching clients. This survey reveals coaching generates a solid return on investment for clients and creates positive changes in client goal areas for both individuals and companies.
Companies that use or have used professional coaching for business reasons have seen a median return on investment of seven times their initial investment. An overwhelming majority of individuals who worked with a professional coach (82.7%) report being "very satisfied" with their coaching experience and (96.2%) said they would repeat it given the same circumstances.
"The bottom line is coaching works!" says Karen Tweedie, President, ICF. "The ICF has promoted the incredible benefits of coaching for nearly 15 years, but now we have this important data to support our claims which is based on independent, comprehensive qualitative and quantitative research."
 Coaching works and it is not limited to athletics, personal training or corporate endeavors. The coaching process focuses on desired goals and developing a strategy, competency and the commitment on the part of the client to create the results they want. Coaching is the "missing ingredient" in creating sustainable change. Accountability and co-creation between the client and coach create the winning recipe to make lasting changes.
Coaching is recognized as one of the fastest growing professions over the next five years particularly as individuals, both personal and professional - are committed to maximizing their performance. The time is now to become prepared to be a part of this growing profession.
At The Source Institute, we have long known the value of coaching. Our own Barbara Fagan, Master Coach and Senior Facilitator of Fundamentals and Mastery of Performance Coaching, is one of the pioneers of the coaching profession. she began coaching professionally more than 25 years ago. She has been training and certifying professional coaches using the SPT curriculum for almost 10 years. The Source Institute is accepting applications NOW for our upcoming Fundamentals and Mastery of Performance Coaching trainings. Space is limited. This will be one learning experience that will give YOU a ROI (return on your investment) year over year. Our commitment is to create an environment of committed individuals forming a community of life-long learners. The time is now for you to join this select group of individuals -- committed to developing their skills as a performance coach -- and experience our foundational coach's training, accredited by the International Coach Federation for 84.5 hours of Continuing Coach Education units. Register online at www.SourcePointTraining.com or contact me at Tommy@SourcePointTraining.com to become a part of the coaching wave of the future today! | |

| Don't Miss Our Virtual OFFICE PARTY! | | Barbara Fagan, President & Co-Founder |
We love to have fun and celebrate with everyone who has become a part of the Source Point Training community. We know we would not be able to share all that we have done in these last six months without your support and being the professionals that you all are. That is why we have several new ways we will be recognizing you and your contribution.
 We will have our second VIRTUAL OFFICE PARTY, July 20 - 6:00 p.m. PDT. Plan to have some fun and hear what we have been up to and what we plan for the rest of the year. Much of this party is designed to acknowledge you! There will be prizes - what would a party be without prizes!!
So get yourself set up next Tuesday evening with your favorite beverage, snacks and a comfortable spot with your laptop. Watch for your registration invitation coming to you tomorrow.

Come for the first weekend, the second weekend or both!
