Dear Coaches,
 In my primitive counting, I got a very exciting
finding:- our membership constitutes coaches of different
nationality or ethnic origin. For sure, HKCC can be
regarded as an International Coaching Community. Namely
out of a total of 68 coach members, there are 30 members
who have a Chinese surname (accounting 44% of the total
now.) There is a 20% increase as compared with that
recorded a year ago. Well, I would like to introduce
Mr. S. K. Shum (one of our Chinese coach members) in
this issue.
Please keep your articles, comments and pictures coming
in. Don't forget, this is your newsletter, so please
keep contributing.
Warm wishes,
Anita Moorjani

SK
Shum - Parenting, Relationship and Life Coach
If you asked me 5 years ago what I would become
today, I would never thought becoming a life coach
and make a living out of it. For me, life coaching
seemed like something other people did, either
those who were in a dire state, such as career,
marriage, relationship crisis or those enlightened
souls who have money to pay for someone to listen
to their problems.

| What
is Coaching? |
|
By
Angela Spaxman
When someone tells you "I'm a coach", have you
ever wondered what that means?
Even though I call myself a coach, I still wonder
about it when I hear people talk about 'coaching'.
Marketers, entrepreneurs, trainers and mothers
tell me they are coaches. And I ask myself, what
do they mean by saying that? What are they trying
to tell me? Companies ask me to provide a 'coaching
program', but I can't always be sure that I know
what they mean.
I guess we are experiencing a creative surge
in the use of the word coach. Many different people
are using it, and in lots of different ways. No
wonder I'm confused. For my own peace of mind,
I would like to be able to understand clearly
what people mean when they talk about coaching.
I don't like that feeling of suspicion that I
get, thinking to myself, "Is she really a Coach?"

Message
from the President |
|
|
In our daily contacts between our member coaches
and the general public (including many local corporations),
we noted that the coaching concept sounds very
new here as compared with that in America. In
USA, a famous band called "Metalica" once hired
a coach for 2 years whom had been devoted firstly
to resolving the disputes amongst the members
and secondly to rebuilding a very harmonious relationship
and finally to transforming it into a successful
band. The case study was even produced in a DVD
for sale and popular among young people. HKCC
would like to educate and arouse the general interest
towards Coaching: "What is Coaching?" "How can
coaching benefit people on different walks of
business and lives in HK." However, due to resource
constraints to implement the expensive marketing
campaign, should you have a cost-effective means
to this topic, please contact Bonnie
Chan.
Cheers,
Bonnie
Chan
President of HKCC
