Out of the starting gate
Your ICFHK board has made a strong start for 2024. Our focus and our commitment to you is to present a comprehensive and varied programme built around the mission, connecting our diverse coaching community through partnerships and growth.
Throughout the first quarter we have delivered high quality thought leadership engagements together with social gatherings. In the background we have been building opportunities for you to roll up your sleeves in making an impact in our local society through connections with NGOs.
As we all orient ourselves around a post-pandemic landscape, we do encourage you to join our in-person activities. We genuinely believe these events will help to grow you and your coaching practices, helping you to achieve and optimise your ICF qualifications.
For those who are due to renew your memberships then we do encourage you to do so – ICF membership and accreditations are globally recognised and a true door opener with many firms in the territory and region. And for those who need to renew your accreditation, there are a vast number of online talks and speakers which you can listen to and watch – and importantly your virtual attendance will go towards the number of required hours.

ICF is more than just a qualification, as we in your Hong Kong Chapter continue to demonstrate – it’s a community determined to support you in your coaching journey.
So join with us as we move into Q2 2024 and enjoy the ride.
Best regards,
Nigel RAYMONT
