Dear Friends,
Someone asked me a few months ago, what I
thought was my primary ‘Life’s
Lesson’? That is to say, what it was that I
was supposed to learn during this lifetime.
It has become clearer to me this week that I
keep experiencing repeating patterns of certain
circumstances to deal with. On reflection, I have
come to realise that perhaps my ‘Life’s
Lesson’ is to learn to go with the flow, to
trust that the universe has a greater plan for me
than I know, to stay in the moment and acknowledge
that the ‘Present is Perfect’.
It is always difficult to stay calm, focused and
grateful when faced with difficult or challenging
circumstances. I must remind myself to breathe,
feel gratitude for the time and opportunities that
I have been fortunate to experience and more
importantly, to let go of the fear and trust that
what opportunities lie ahead will be even more
wondrous.
So here I go with step 1: breathe!!!!
Have a great month
Michelle
Lewis

 Recently I had a chat
with one of my ex-colleagues from my previous
employer. As often before, he was telling me a few
things that were going on in the company and I
thought, how would I deal with these challenges now
if I would rejoin as a manager? I further asked
myself, how would I have done things today if I had
never left?
And I noticed a big difference between these two
scenarios.

Message from the President |
|
|
In the past 12 months, HKCC has been featured by
different media such as the Salvation Army, SCMP,
Recruit, Readers’ Digest, and China Daily
etc.. Coaching has already become a new topic
in the city for the people development
profession. In a recent conversation, a UK
practice coach, who visited Hong Kong in Jan, asked
me a good question, “How is a high standard of
coaching maintained in Hong Kong?” We spent
almost 20 minutes exchanging views and I introduced
him to the Coaching
Standard of HKCC, implemented since Oct 2005
and the project in transiting HKCC from a society,
to an incorporated non-profit limited company,
namely HKICC (more details will be informed to
members separately). I believe that more
time is required for the market to understand how
to benefit from the coaching profession and choose
the right coach. HKCC will keep on promoting
these aspects through different activities in 2006.
For those members who would like to share their
valuable ideas and participate in our planning and
development, please do come and join our upcoming
March Focus Meeting:
Date: 15 Mar 2006
Time: 6:30pm
Place: 1302 Chung Name Bldg., 1
Lockhart Rd., WanChai.
Enquiry: 81062126
Cheers,
Bonnie
Chan
President of HKCC
