Message
from the
President
It’s almost Christmas. Since I won’t
be here during Christmas because of my scheduled
hike in Mt. Everest Base Camp, I’d like to
take this chance to wish you all a wonderful
holiday season.
This year has been a joyous year since I took
up the role as your President. I’ve gotten to
know many of you and discovered how a wonderful
group of people you really are. I’d like to
equate my personal experience I’ve had during
the Oxfam Trialwalker several weeks ago. Every time
I felt like giving up along this grueling 100-kilo
hike, somehow I received support from my friends,
enabling me to complete the trail. Although
this is my sixth year, I’ve never felt the
same before.

Message from the Executive VP
Being one of the pioneers of coaching in Hong
Kong, I am particularly pleased about the ever
increasing pace in growing awareness of the
benefits of coaching among the citizens of Hong
Kong.
When I started my coach training almost 5 years
ago, and co-founded HKCC (the predecessor of HKICC)
a bit over 4 years ago, I still knew almost all of
Hong Kong’s trained coaches personally. Today,
this is not the case anymore since the community of
coaches in Hong Kong has clearly grown beyond 100
and that is good news.

| The 7 Levels of Change |
 |
|
Contributed by Ajay Singh Niranjan
A strategy for creativity, innovation and
continuous improvement
Einstein pointed out that "The significant
problems we face today cannot be solved at the same
level we were at when we created them."
To get different results -- change -- we must do
things differently.
The framework of this model is divided into
seven distinct levels -- from easy to impossible -
across a spectrum of continual change (continuous
innovation) over increasing levels of difficulty.
LEVEL 1: Effectiveness - DOING the right things
LEVEL 2: Efficiency - DOING things right
LEVEL 3: Improving - DOING things better
LEVEL 4: Cutting - Stopping DOING things

Vice President Marketing
What moved you to give your time so
generously to make a contribution to HKICC?
I joined HKICC in 2003 after completing a coaching
programme, I started a self-discovery journey in
which coaching inspired and motivated me to be a
high achiever towards self-actualization and
self-fulfillment.
What do you most like about the
community? What do you least like about it?
HKICC provides an international platform for coaches
and people who are interested in coaching to get
along with each other and to promote coaching and
share the knowledge and experience with others for
continuous professional development. However,
the effect of coaching is not easily being
articulated until a clear meaning is defined and
accepted by all coaching
partners/professionals. I think, we
need to take further step in the coming years to
work out a more clear and workable definition and
share it with the community openly.

Development Coach
How did hear about us?
I was part of the founding team ! The majority of
the coaches who founded the HKICC were CoachU
graduates from Hong Kong’s first course by
Coach House.
What made you join as a member?
Keeping in touch with fellow members was my first
reason to join. I also was very keen on promoting
coaching in Hong Kong as it was very new at the
time.
What is one quality which you think is
essential to have as a Coach?
Listening with your heart. You also need to be
fully present to help your coachees.

“Stop Selling!” to
Accelerate Your Business with
Integrity
Even though I was in sales
related positions all my corporate life, I never
really enjoyed selling in the traditional sense of
the word.
Luckily, in late 2003 I
discovered that you can actually get more business
with integrity by “Stop Selling” and
instead using coaching skills to accelerate buying
decisions.

Dear Friends,
I've stretched myself lately….both
physically and mentally and I must say it's an
amazingly energetic feeling! With the new
year (and new resolutions) coming right up, I figure
I’d better get myself ready and get done more
of my want-to-do items. I re-joined a gym, returned
to some of the exercises and classes I missed doing
and even tried some new machines. I was clumsy in
many of the movements, quite embarrassing really
even with exercises I used to do quite well before,
it seemed I had to re-learn them. My muscles were
definitely asleep and some I couldn't isolate to
flex properly because I didn't know where they
were…..
