Keeping up my professional development: part 2

Hi

We would like to congratulate two members of the RCS UK community of coaches who have been elected to the UK International Coach Federation board of directors.

Those of you who know Caroline Sullivan and Ray Lamb will know just what a powerful contribution they will make both to the ICF in the UK, as it moves towards running the first global ICF conference in the UK, and to the coaching profession.

We wish both of you every success and thank you for being willing to make this contribution of time and effort on behalf of coaching.

Kind regards

Richard Bentley and Christopher Samsa

Keeping up my professional development: part 1

Part of my development as a coach is to receive coaching. I was lucky enough last year to find Barbara Frodsham, coach extraordinaire, through the ReciproCoach network.

Having Barbara as my coach was a wonderful experience. With knowledge and great skill, deftly combined with humour and perception, she created a space in which I could think clearly, gain new perspectives and take action. Some deep seated self doubt dissolved through the process and life running my business, which had been feeling a bit scary, got much better. This year, thanks to Barbara's encouragement and my up graded self belief, I applied for a UK board position for the coaching body the International Coach Federation. Me: ‘I can’t do that…’ , B: ‘yes you can…’

I’ll let you know how that turned out in my next blog…
