Message from your Branch President:

Lee Wilkinson ACC

I am President of the local branch and am keen to get you along to our local ICF Australasia meetings this year. Why would you want to come?

Maybe you are new to coaching and ICF:

In 2012, every month, right here in Wellington, you can:

Connect with other coaches: We foster a good networking atmosphere at all our functions, so it is easy to meet local coaches and so come across a wide range of types of coaching. ICF also connects you to the exciting international world of coaching.
Validate your coaching standards: We can advise and encourage you in your progress towards gaining the world-recognized ICF coach credentialing process.
Grow your coaching skills and knowledge: At each meeting, we bring in interesting and wide-ranging speakers and often opportunity to practice, providing you with professional stimulation and discussion.

Maybe you're thinking about changing your involvement in ICF:

Look at the goals of the ICF: To advance the coaching profession by setting high standards, providing independent coach certification and building a world-wide network of credentialed coaches.

At a local level you can gain from this mission in 2012, without it taking a lot of time.

We plan to continue the great core work of the branch by providing welcoming and stimulating monthly meetings. Come along to hear and sometimes practice interesting coaching ideas and methods. We’d really value your input to the discussion and any suggestions of topics you would like explored.
We aim to increase the support offered for credentialing – providing tips on inexpensive ways to build your Coach Education hours, support and encouragement as you work your way through the requirements, and whatever else we figure.
We intend to work locally towards raising awareness of the value of professional coach qualifications. We will use our branch contacts with the public and corporate sectors to build the profile of ICF coaching credentials. You, your clients and the wider coaching profession will all gain from the spread of these professional standards.

Do come along and be part of the exciting world of International Coach Federation.

Spiritual Coaching - The "Ins" and "Outs"

with Martin Wilson

Tuesday 21 February 2012
5:30pm - 7:00pm

"What is coaching, and what is it not?" and "How is it important, how does it 'fit' or 'weave' in with other coaching/coaching relationships?" Martin will answer these questions and identify typical themes that emerge in spiritual coaching. He will provide a small toolkit of spiritual coaching approaches, tips and techniques and look at tools and practices, which contribute to spiritual development or growth, often arising in a spiritual coaching context. Finally, he will provide a pointer to relevant resources available to the spiritual coach and client.

After 20 years of commercial legal practice, Martin Wilson became a professional coach in 2001 and established Selfmade Coaching. He founded the Wellington Chapter of the International Coach Federation Australasia Inc in 2004 and was its inaugural President. He was a director of the ICFA 2007–08.

Martin's experience and expertise are predominantly in working with leaders, managers and professionals in the areas of work/life balance; developing leadership and personal presence; building personal foundation; converting awareness and vision into goals, actions and results; conflict resolution and communication effectiveness; developing emotional, social and spiritual intelligences; and in developing more transparent, trust based and collaborative organizations. In more recent years he has taken his coaching beyond a 'transactional' approach to coaching to one that is more 'transformational' in approach. A core component of that latter approach is his successful use of spiritual coaching practices.
