Well, our next target will be the IAC Guangzhou Chapter. Will you be the president of it?
Please contact Coach Bonnie at bonnie@coachlite.com for any enquiry or write direct to Kerri of IAC.
In a meeting, I was asked to recommend a coaching school to an executive lady.
Of
course, I was easily connecting this question with my coaching school.
However, my second thought told me that it is a good question to
explore with.
I, therefore, initiate to make a survey with
coaches around me on "Where did you learn your coaching?" with comment
in one sentence. Here we are. Please drop me an email on your coaching
school to bonnie@coachlite.com
If you are planning for an IAC Certification,
please note that IAC does not have any pre-requisition on where you get
your coach training. Instead, IAC certify coaches on their masterful
skill in using the IAC Coaching Masteries.
******************************************
I learnt my coaching from Coachville - Graduate School of Coaching 1,000
hours program (USA) . I see Coachville is a school with comprehensive
and up-to-date coaching models and material for every walks of coaches
that requires your curiosity to explore and digest at your own learning
pace and good for coaches' continuous personal and professional
learning development. Their 15 Coaching Proficiencies is excellent to
master. ~ executive and business coach
I learnt my coaching from ICF approved program offered by Institute of Life Coaching Training. ~ life and relationship coach
I took my coaching training with Results Coaching System, Australia. I chose this training because it has 3 days intensive face-to-face interaction and practices with another 12 weeks of telephone conference coaching and practice with all the participants. ~ trainer and life coach
My coaching school Is
HKU SPACE on" Foundation Certificate in Life Coaching" for 6 months.
The program is designed for middle and senior managers in HRD and HRM
professions, organization development consultants, social workers and
other professionals , etc. who are moving into a coaching role. At the
end of the course, the participants can have preliminary understanding
of their coaching style and the direction of improvement. ~ life coach
more sharing is coming, please stay tuned.
