Message
from the
President
Dear HKICC Friends,
This is the last issue of HKICC's
newsletter in 2007 and instead of looking
back on the successes and shortcomings of the
past year, I want to draw your focus on the
New Year 2008.
While I'm very grateful for all the
support we received from numerous members,
particularly from those serving in the
Management Committee, I also know that the
only thing we can influence and create is
what happens now and in the future.
I expect that 2008 will be a particularly
exciting year because from January 01 there
will be a number of changes in HKICC which I
believe will have a strong impact on our
success and bring us a considerable step
closer to our vision to reach 1,000 members
by end of 2009.
Keep
reading
Charlie Lang

| Life Coach Success Stories Event |
|
|
By Kate Koranyi, Relocation Coach
I was particularly interested in the talk
that took place on Wednesday, 14th November
2007, as I'm just starting out as a
recently-qualified Life Coach myself and, to
be perfectly frank, I haven't yet had much
success in attracting clients. It was
encouraging to hear the three Life Coaches
(Jaime Simpson, Anita Cheung and Monika
Parker) talk about how they started out, how
they too faced difficulties, and found that
it was far from ready-made easy in the
beginning.

| TOP 5 Ways to Coach, Not Manage, Your Teenager |
|
|
By Jaime Simpson of Teen Success
Stop managing and start coaching your teen
using these 5 keys:
1. A coach always looks within to
facilitate change, a Manager looks around to
facilitate change.
- It starts with you, not with your
teen.
- Identify the qualities in yourself
that you don't want to pass down to your
teenager.
- You are the greatest asset to your
teenager, they will learn what they live and
live what they learn from you. Be
responsible by showing consistency in your
own life, be consistent with your values
around boundaries, alcohol, study,
relationships etc

What led you into coaching?
I started coaching simply because I saw a
need. As a full time HR manager, I saw the
need of the staff to develop successful home
relationships in order to thrive in their
work environment. As a volunteer counselor
and mentor to young people, I saw the need
for teenagers to have healthy role models who
could guide them to develop values for their
life, increase their confidence and esteem,
and help them make healthy decisions whilst
transitioning from child to teen and into the
adult world.
