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.

NLP and Coaching
The Myth and the Magic of Integrating
NLP into your Tool Kit

with Gai Foskett MCC

Tuesday 19 June 2012
5:30pm - 7:00pm

NLP stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It has been around since the 70's and has been through many machinations of acceptance and understanding in mainstream personal development circles. As technology such as fMRI scanning has developed so too has the understanding of the brain, this has helped inform the skeptics of NLP as well as supported the acceptance of NLP as a useful toolkit for coaches. NLP is about the neuro (brain) the impact of what we say and think, (linguistics) and the wiring (program) we develop from that. It is also about taming the wild mind, learning how to use our mind and brain to relax, interrupt unhelpful patterns we have and very quickly create new ones.

Gai will talk about and demonstrate some of the ways she has integrated NLP processes into coaching her executive and business clients.

At this session you will:

Create your own definition of what NLP is
Experience some NLP processes
Learn a simple process to help your client 'change state'
Learn to recognise some of the patterns people have in the way they represent their world to themselves
