Newsletter – May 2024

Dear ICF HK members, 

As coaches, we thrive on supporting clients’ personal transformations and providing space for them to reach their “aha”-moments that light up their world! While these experiences are what motivate us, we also want to have support systems that make our coaching practices more impactful and more sustainable. That is why ICF HK exists. We are here to be the supportive community of like-minded coaches who can share our collective knowledge, help each other along our coaching journeys, and form a volunteer organization that empowers us to be the best coaches we can be. Welcome to ICF HK, and we look forward to serving you, our fellow ICF HK Members! 

Because ICF HK is the local chapter of the global organization International Coaching Federation, we’d like to highlight some well-received services from both the global and the local perspectives. ICF or International Coaching Federation was founded in 1995. As the leading global coaching organization, ICF has over 61,000 members worldwide, including over 51,000 credentialled coaches with ACC (27k), PCC (22k), and MCC (2k) certifications. ICF is the largest global coaching organization with over 140 chapters across 100 countries and territories. ICF is continuously improving membership experiences, which includes the latest launch of members-only platform ENGAGE on April 24th, 2024. Here are just some of the benefits you can access via ENGAGE: connect with the 61,000 members worlacdwide; joining various communities such as Executive and Leadership Coaching or Coaching Science; review global events such as International Coaching Week or ENGAGE virtual Guided Tour; access to member-only resources like free website for your coaching business; and a database of useful documents like sample coaching agreements, marketing flyers, or member benefits. Go ahead and have a click: you can use the same log-in to ICF website to https://engage.coachingfederation.org/

ICF HK was created in 2010 and currently serve over 570 members who reside mostly in Hong Kong or mainland China. To better support your development, we will host monthly events: on May 2nd, we had a Coach Supervision session to improve your coaching competency. After all, even the best grand piano will need fine-tuning from time to time! In addition, we’ll have a Mandarin CCE hour on May 14th to further our continued education in a local language. We also plan to invite current coaching practitioners to share their coaching tools with the wider community on May 22nd. Please see details in the newsletter, or you can access our HK Chapter website https://icfhk.org/events/ for the latest lineup for you!

Coaching is exciting and inspirational. ICF HK is your local community that can be there with you on this transformational journey. By sharing your inquiries and connecting with others who also want to make the world a better place, we hope you will have a meaningful membership experience. You are not alone, and we can walk together to unleash your clients’ and your own incredible potential.

Open yourself to new learning and experiences. Join the global coaching community from May 13 – 19, 2024 to celebrate the power and impact of professional coaching during International Coaching Week. https://www.icf-events.org/international-coaching-week-events/
