ICF Sacramento celebrates INTERNATIONAL COACHING WEEK (May 20-26, 2013).

International Coaching Week (ICW) is held annually to educate the public about the value of working with a professional coach and to acknowledge the results and progress made through the coaching process.   During this week long commemoration, coaches around the world offer a variety of activities and pro bono services in their local communities to share what coaching has the ability to do.
Join the Fun!  Members- share your coaching expertise and the powerful impact of coaching by participating in these upcoming events:
  • May 21st.   Laser Coaching for Small Business Owners:  “Get Clear, Get Focused, Get Aligned, and Commit to Action“, Gold Miner Inn- Holiday Inn Express, 121 Bank Street, Grass Valley, CA from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m.  Sponsored by the Greater Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce and The Union newspaper, this coaching workshop will allow small business owners to experience laser coaching with professionally trained coaches and raise awareness of ICF Sacramento as a valuable resource for professionally trained coaches.   Business Owners:  Reserve your  spot by calling the Greater Grass Valley Chamber: (530) 273-4667.  Fee:  $15.   Coaches:  If you are a certified coach with ICF approved coach training, we welcome your participation.  Let’s show the public how powerful coaching can be.
