BRAND U with Peer Feedback
ICF Coaching Week (ICW) is February 5-11, 2012. It is a global celebration of the coaching profession held annually. Originally founded in 1999 by ICF member Jerri N. Udelson, MCC, ICW is a designated time each year for coaches and clients to educate the general public about the value of working with a professional coach and to acknowledge the results and progress made through the coaching process.
The Houston Coaches Education Committee invites you to join your peers from 3:45 to 5:45 BEFORE the regular dinner meeting on February 6 to participate in an interactive small group discussion led by Margaret Maat on your coaching brand: What’s special about you and your approach to coaching. There will be opportunity for peer feedback and brainstorming. There is no fee for participating, but you MUST REGISTER so we can plan seating and handouts.
Please join us for this stimulating discussion and celebration of the profession that has given us so much.
