Greetings!

 "Connecting Worlds" 

ICF Envisioned Future:
"Coaching is an integral part of society and ICF members represent the highest standard in professional coaching."

 ***************************************
You might notice we have a new look for this invitation.  In our continuing efforts, we are bringing our ICF Switzerland communications and website to be consistent with your website and the newest initiatives of ICF global.  Please let us know what you think. 

We are living interesting times and much of what we "know" is changing.  ICF is also in a phase of more clearly defining our differentiation and setting standards.  Specifically, ICF has two major initiatives in place: 
  • Clarifying the ICF Brand
  • Defining the ICF Credential Program and process 
With all of this comes a certain rigor across our federation.  Traditionally, we have accepted any and all interested parties as "members."  That is changing!  In the next phase of our development, we will become more selective, set higher standards and be more of a leader in our exciting and important profession.  Our market is demanding more clarity around what is a professional coach?  What is Professional Coaching?  If you have been considering obtaining the ICF Credential.  The time is NOW.  Contact us if you would like support in the credentilaing process.
 
To meet this demand, your ICF Suisse Romande Chapter continues you to bring you relevant and interactive workshops to practice and enhance your coaching skills, provide an opportunity to expand your coaching "back pack" and an open space for meeting and networking with other coaches.

Our March ICF Suisse Romande chapter meeting is on the important practice of coach supervision, led by Anne Archer, ICF member, executive coach, coach trainer and coach supervisor on the subject of Coach Supervision.

***************************************

Whether you are a new coach or experienced coach, seeking to obtain or renew your ICF credential, HR professional or someone interested to discover more about professional coaching, this session will surely offer insights and helpful marketing tips to attract "your" clients.  You will also have the opportunity to greet friends and to network with fellow coaches. 

With all of the shifts and changes happening around us and with our clients, this session based on ICF Core Competencies offers us a way to sharpen our skills and efficacy as professional coaches and entrepreneurs. Join us to see what is possible for YOU.  The Time is NOW!!
