Message
from the
President
Dear HKICC Friends,
I hope you had an excellent start into the
New Year and I wish you all the best for
2008!
A few days ago, I had a conversation with
a new member of HKICC who was interested
about the history of our association. This
required me to reflect on the time since the
inauguration in autumn 2002 and I realized
that we passed the 5th anniversary last
autumn, apparently without anyone noticing!
This is perhaps a good thing because it is
an indication that we are quite
forward-oriented - as coaches should be. Does
this perhaps mean that the past is not
important to us?
Keep
reading

| TOP 10 Tips for Wellness |
|
|
By Anita SK Cheung, Integrative Wellness
Coach and Corporate Wellness Consultant, and
founder of Integrative-Living
- Get clear with your core values and
priorities.
- Give your body the food that it was
designed for. If you want to feel "whole",
eat whole foods. If you want to reduce your
quality of life, eat reduced foods.
- Drink 6 to 8 glasses of clean water
everyday. Invest in a good water purifier
and change the filter regularly.
- Breathe high quality air.
- Nourish
yourself by creating pleasant sensual
experiences (a massage, a hug, stroking a
pet).

| How a Wellness Coach Whipped Me Into Shape |
|
|
Adapted by Carole Lewis from: http://www.getrichslowly.org/
- A blog posting by' J.D'. in the United
States
Thursday, 18th January 2007
Three months ago I wrote about the
high cost of being fat. I had spent
$4500 over 4 years because of my weight. The
problem wasn't just costing me money - it had
caused sleep apnea, a torn ACL, and mild
depression - three conditions that eroded my
quality of life.
Then a reader issued a challenge. Lauren
Muney wrote to provide her services as a wellness
coach free for 1 month: "I'm offering
this to you because I've been reading your
blog daily and I want to give back," she
said. She continued: Most people think that
coaching is bull. It's amazing how much money
people will spend on diet books, fad
equipment, diet pills, and the like - and
never budge an inch. I just talk to my
clients.

Relocation Life Coach, Dip LC (Inst LC)
What got you interested in
coaching?
A talk I attended by Paul McKenna
(Hypnotist, Life Coach and Author) in
February 2006 in Dubai, U.A.E., proved to
be a defining moment for me. He kept
emphasizing the importance of making
changes, especially before you're
quite ready, since we're experts at finding
excuses. His talk had a huge impact on me
and I suddenly found the courage to make big
and long-lasting changes in my life. I read
all his books and everything I could find on
life coaching, self-improvement and
instinctively knew that inspiring and
coaching people was something I would
absolutely love to do myself.
