Yesterday, several members gathered to have an exploratory, strategic dialogue on expanding our territory in the state of Florida to increase our reach to coaches across north Florida. We believe this could represent an exciting opportunity for us to grow, both as an organization, and also as individual coaches.
We greatly value the opinions and viewpoints of our membership which is why were are taking the time to explore this opportunity with our members to determine how we, as an ICF local chapter, want to move forward and the possible next steps.
We had a very rich dialogue and agreed to reconvene to continue the dialogue in early September. If you missed the meeting yesterday and would still like to participate in the discussion, look for future communications or send a note to info@fccajax.com.
* Are you sometimes at a loss for words to help your coaching client or friend who is devastated by divorce, death, or other heartbreak?
* Would you like to learn the recipe for helping yourself - and others - go from heartbreak to happiness more quickly and easily?
Then you won't want to miss this special virtual meeting with our guest expert AURORA WINTER.
Formerly a film and TV executive producer, Aurora has been heard by over a million people on the topic of healing heartbreak and creating a life filled with true happiness.
When someone blurts out a devastating fact, such as, "My son was just killed in a car crash" how you respond in the next few seconds will mean the difference between making a friend for life - or being relegated to the outer circle forever. In such moments, there is no time to prepare.
The time to prepare is now.
In special VIRTUAL meeting, Aurora Winter will give you practical tools to deal with anyone who is devastated by death, divorce, or another heartbreaking loss.

Wouldn't it be great if there were five simple words that would explode your coaching, your business, help you attract more clients and deepen your confidence? And if there were five such words, wouldn't you want to know what they were?
Learn how to let go of the framework and comfort zone of your coaching and begin to discover your own special style-that unique "coachiness" that clients will be attracted to, and not only gives greater depth to your coaching, but also strengthens your confidence and propels you towards your coaching success. In this call, you'll not only learn core elements about yourself and how you show up, but experience the difference of BEing and DOing that take your coaching to the next level.
No matter where you are in your coaching--beginner, a few years along the way, or a long timer, this call is designed to help you discover and uncover that powerful level of your coaching confidence, and it's all unlocked with five magic words.
What those five words are---you'll just have to show up to find out. (I'll give you a hint, it's not the title. That has only four words.)
But once you discover them, your coaching will never be the same.
About Ben Dooley
 Well, what can I say? I mean, you could check out his website, www.bedo.org and that would pretty much sum it up. But if you insist on reading this stuff... Sure, he's a PCC coach. He facilitates the bi-weekly COACHING SKILLS FORUM telecalls, and Ben is also the President of the ICF Chicago Chapter. His commitment is coaching coaches to discover their powerful coach magnificence, full of confidence and success. But before that, Ben also spent years as a professional actor, clown, restaurant reviewer, waiter, and just about every other temp job in town. His experience has taught him some powerful lessons about authenticity and personal power. Ben's coaching is a delicious blend of playfulness and wisdom, packed with creativity. Just a little bit of time with Ben and you'll experience his deep caring and passion about others becoming the "stars of their lives." That includes you, too.

Ever have those coaching moments when you suddenly realize that you're just not connected to your client? (If you said "no," you're lying.)
Let's be honest. It's an inevitable part of coaching. Sometimes the connection is great. There's energy and flow and the coaching feels effortless.
And then "sometimes the coaching feels hard and flops around, and we're not sure how to get back. What makes it even worse is when we get stuck in a mind trap and can't quite figure how to get out.
Usually the best feedback that we get when something like this happens is to, "get over there with your client", but no one ever really tells us how. It's even worse when we're told to "just get out of your head," which usually has the reverse effect and plunges us deeper inward and further away from our client.
This interactive and fun workshop will show you three incredibly easy and amazingly powerful techniques that will not only get you instantly "out of your head" but get you back "into your client." Armed with this knowledge and experience, your coaching will be more confident, and more empowered, as you are more powerfully reconnected with your client. In other words, you're on the path to Your Coaching Magnificence.
In addition, we'll explore the power of connection and the impact that can have on your ability to close more clients. Clients choose us and stay with us because of the connection we create. This workshop will show you how to look beyond "fixing a problem" to standing out and being authentic in our coaching for better results.
