Frequently, we don’t have a choice. Our jobs are disappearing as the global downturn takes its course. Terrifying bushfires are attributed to changes in global temperatures.

Each and every one of us is being asked or forced to change – to create a new vision for a sustainable future: financially, environmentally, personally.

Coaching is one of the best resources for creating sustainable personal change. The International Coach Federation is sponsoring an event for Coach Week in May: Coaching Diversity; Contributing to Personal and Global Change.

ICFA NSW is very pleased to be contributing to this discussion with an event on the 28th May, 2009.
