My daughter is 19 and has had to defer her second year at Uni, so she's back home and a bit lost really.  The deferring is complicated, but not her fault.  I think she could really do with some coaching, but I'm too close to the situation to do it. She isn't earning so can't afford to pay. I wondered if someone would like the opportunity to have some practise?

Let me know if you are interested.

Hope you are all well.

Good of you to organise this.  I will be coming to the Christmas Party and would
love to get involved in a fitting send off to Barbara before she heads back to
the US.  I vote for some nice food, to soak up the alcohol for light weights
like me who can't booze with the best of them.  Keep me posted on how the plans
develop.

Best wishes,
Sharon

Barbara leaves on 15th December so if it makes sense to people we could tag on
with the CD Christmas party on 12th December and then move on somewhere
elsewhere in IslingtonDo let me know if that suits or if there are any other
ideasPippa

Hello all again
Some of you may already know but Barbara has decided that she will not return after her hols in December.

Thus there is a bit more urgency to give her a good old send off from Blighty.

Dear everyone,

I am delighted that Alister Scott will be leading a discussion on Coaching and
Sustainability at the next CDLG.  Below is a paragraph he has written on a
similar discussion group he is running for a network in Sussex.

"The human race faces an unprecedented set of linked crises: climate change,
obesity, deforestation and rapid extinctions, high levels of mental illness,
over-fishing, the stress epidemic, global poverty to name but a few. We also, as
Tom Paine said: 'have it in our power to build the world anew' - much more now
than in his day. It is almost as if we are at an evolutionary crossroads.

What is the role of coaching in what has been called the Great Work of putting
humanity on a sustainable trajectory? If we believe in the power of coaching to
bring transformation, what are our responsibilities as coaches? How do we
balance a passion for human potential, sustainability and a love of life with a
commitment to a non-directive philosophy of support for our clients?

For over 20 years, Dr Alister Scott has grappled with these questions. Come and
join a facilitated discussion; bring your ideas, passions, and challenges - and
anything else you feel can help move us all forward!"

If you have already replied please do not feel you need to reply again.

The CDLG is open to all people who have been on the CD Coaching Certificate.  We
have check-in groups, followed by an hour's talk on a subject, then triads.  We
try to have the meetings on the first Wednesday of the month, unless I am
travelling.  The following meetings are in my diary as:

Wednesday 4th November - Candy on NLP Submodalities
Wednesday 2nd December - Looking for a volunteer

I hope to see you soon.

With best wishes



Candy

My how time flies, Eva six months!

I think the market is tough out there.  My coaching contacts are still finding
work but most are not pure coaches and have some other lines of business.  I
think you might also find a number of executives who have been paid off and
completed coaching courses with their redundancy payments will increase the
volume on the market.  I am finding that feedback in the interim market as I do
that work alongside my consultancy and trying to build up my coaching.

Good coaches still get work but rates are more competitive and clients more
discerning.  You might also find more coaching at certain levels and less in
certain groups.  I am not sure if the middle managers or senior level coaching
will be most hard hit.

Going down the associate root is an option.  wasn't Sarah Cook a person to ask
about that.  The only contact I have is Camilla Arnold at TXG.  She knows her
stuff, is a formidable coach but there is a tough selection process.

Call me if you want to chat more.  Must dash for food.

Sharon

Hope you are all well.

The Spring '09 CD class is organising a get-together in London on the 16th of
Oct.

They say that it will be day 5 of 20 for the group that started on the Fall '09
programme. Some of them are meeting for drinks in the Living Room at Angel and
are giving the option to the new group and to us to join them.

Take care,
Barbara

 

Hope all are well
Could anyone direct me to firms that employ independents as associate coaches...i.e. they find the work and one just turns up and does it?

Also as Eva is now 6 months and I have been out of touch for a while I'd be grateful if any of you could spare the time to let me know how the market is looking currently - and how it's been over the summer.

using you all as a research shortcut - hope that's ok
Thanks
