Dear Coaches,
 
This has been an absolutely fabulous year for
the Hong Kong Coaching Community - we have grown more this year
than all the previous years put together! Thanks to Coach Exchange,
we now reach more of the local coaching community.
This issue of the newsletter really reflects how far we have
come - please read the articles below. And also take a look
at our website for photos of our recent Christmas Dinner at
Viceroy. That was a great party, with good food, gifts, and
a lucky draw.
Until the next issue, I would like to wish everyone a VERY
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Warm wishes,
Anita Moorjani

Has the HKCC been meeting your expectations? Is our
vision in line with your desires? Last week, twelve
HKCC members met to discuss what we want from HKCC and
how to get it. Here is a brief summary of our findings.

works for the most successful coaches? |

By
Charlie Lang
When I started my coaching business in late 2002, I
thought that I was well prepared to develop a successful
practice as an Executive Coach. I had approximately
13 years of corporate experience, out of which about
10 years in senior management positions. I had a strong
background in sales and marketing and had helped my
previous employer to start up a handful of subsidiaries
in different countries worldwide, 3 of which were in
Asia. Last but not the least, I graduated from a dedicated
coaching course with over 150 hours training in both
personal and executive coaching. And, of course, I was
highly motivated to get my business started: I developed
a comprehensive business plan, got myself a mentor coach
and thought that I could hit it off right away.
Well, there were a few things which I did not consider
sufficiently, or worse, not at all...I had to learn
the rather hard way that I had a number of wrong assumptions
which simply stood in my way:

I came to Hong Kong 12years ago and I've never been
to Viceroy. In fact, I always thought the place was
one of the bars in Wan Chai. So being there this time
was an educational experience to me.

Free Mini-Workshop
by Anita Moorjani
You'll See It When You Believe It
All of us have limiting beliefs which hold us
back from being everything we are capable of being.
We are not even aware of many of our limiting
beliefs, or how they are holding us back. These
beliefs can be limiting us in our capacity to
earn more money, live more passionately, be healthier,
stronger and have better relationships.
In this workshop, learn how limiting beliefs are
formed, how to identify them, and how to add more
resources to your life so that you start challenging
your limiting beliefs, thereby slowly breaking
them down, leading you to live the life you desire.
Date: Tuesday December 14, 2004
Time: 7:30 pm
Venue: Room 1101, Chinachem Leighton Plaza,
29 Leighton Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong |

Message
from the President |

The New Year is coming so it's a good time to reflect
on past accomplishments and plan for the future. I'm
very proud of how far HKCC has come since our founding
only 2 years ago. And there is still a lot I want to
do to help establish coaching as a credible profession
and a valued tool for self-development. Please read
the article on Our Vision to know more about what will
inspire us in 2005.
I also want to send my warm winter greetings to all
of you who support our vision and who contribute your
time and energy to making our community a vital and
encouraging place to be.
Cheers,
Angela
President of HKCC
