Message
from the
President
Dear Friends,
So long and farewell! This is probably
my last message as HKICC’s President.
Thank you for your support in the many ways,
particularly the participation on activities
organized by HKICC over the past year. It
has been a great honour and opportunity to
serve you as your President. I'd especially
like to thank an exceptional group of people,
my team mates. My team is a remarkable and
dedicated group of coaches that have taken
the coaching profession in Hong Kong to new
heights. Our Community has a strong
foundation on which to build and address
future coaching opportunities for our
members.
Many thanks also to all of you who have
welcomed me into your worlds and elected me
about this time last year to lead HKICC.

| Troublesome Myths and the New Reality of Professional Coaching: Myth #1 |
|
|
by Dave Buck
Adapted by Carole Lewis from:
http://www.cvcommunity.com/utility/showArticle/
Myth: A majority of professional
life and business coaches are struggling
financially because they don't know how to
market themselves.
While many coaches may not be great
marketers, this is not the reason they are
struggling. There are a few issues
here.
- If you are going to market a service,
you have to know what it is.
- You have to be able to describe what
you do in language that the buyer
understands.
- You have to be able to deliver on your
promise.

How did you hear about
us?
I joined HKICC after the 3rd Speed Coaching
Day as one of the participants.
What made you join as a member?
It is good to know more coaches in
different disciplines within HKICC as
well as I want to be one of them in Hong
Kong.
What is one quality which you think
is essential to have as a Coach?
It is very important to gain trust
and rapport from all those meeting with
the Coach.
How would you describe coaching?
Coaching is an interactive two way
communication between coach and coachee.
I like to meet with all levels of
people. Being a coach, headhunter
and mentor, I can make use of my different
perspectives to face the
uniqueness of every coachee.

| Review of HKICC’s First Executive Coaching Conference |
|
|
By Vivien Eakin and Angela Spaxman
Develop Organizational Potential through
Executive Coaching – an afternoon of
expertise and interaction for senior
executives and HR leaders. This was the
catchy title of the first ever event held by
the Executive Coaching Committee of the HKICC
on 27th March, 2007, led and coordinated by
David Mooijaart, HKICC’s VP of
Executive Coaching. The enticing program
covered the impact of coaching in
organizations, the value of coaching, and
how to create, lead and implement sustainable
coaching programs. The choice
of speakers and panelists
combined highly relevant 'big
picture'” perspectives with local
experiences and stories. Over 20
senior managers from major Hong Kong
companies attended and gave very positive
feedback. The level of engagement throughout
the day was very high with lots of
listening, note taking and
participation.

Feel like you’ve tried
everything, yet nothing worked?
I know how it feels! I’ve been
there!
Anita Moorjani has
extensive experience as a life coach and
motivational speaker until she was
diagnosed with a life threatening
illness. Subsequently, a totally
remarkable recovery in her health led her to
new understandings about life, and the
inner power that exists within each human
being.
Even when they told me it was too
late, it wasn't!
Anita is now a transformational life
coach and she is the embodiment of the
truth that we all have the inner power and
wisdom to overcome even life's most adverse
situations, as she is the living proof of
this possibility.
Coaching with ANITA MOORJANI -
Empowering from the inside out.
