We'd also like to extend a warm welcome to our new ICF Member Affiliates!

Recently FCCA formed a group, the Strategic Growth Task Force, to check in with where we are going as an organization and how we can continue to grow the coaching community in north Florida.  As a part of that effort, we have reached out to ICF members across north Florida inviting them to affiliate with our chapter.  We've had a wonderful response, adding more than a dozen new coaches to our FCCA community. 

On behalf of our entire FCCA community, we'd like to extend a warm welcome to all our new affiliates from Pensacola to Melbourne to Gainesville and Orlando!  We look forward to you joining us on an upcoming teleseminar and hope to see you soon at one of our face to face meetings. 

We hope you'll also participate with us on Facebook and Twitter!

Interested in joining our community?

Webinar: Building Intentional Relationships

with The Source Institute

"Relationship coaching is an educational extension for professional coaches, as well as for therapists, counselors, clergy, caregivers and others who are involved in being with people. Those who are competent in coaching relationships will be more effective in business, as well as all other areas of their life," states Lou Dozier. "For example, our relationship training teaches, what is referred to as, the three-legged stool which is commitment, trust and communication; used to create balanced relationships with self and others. It's very, very powerful."
