Message from the President

Dear HKICC Friends,

The term of the current management team of HKICC is nearing its end. We invite you to join our Annual General Meeting (stay tuned for a separate announcement) on April 24 and contribute to the future direction of our association.

I can't believe that the time passed by so quickly, despite the recent progress we have made in line with my mission as the President of HKICC.

  • Top 10 Ways to Delegate

    Adapted by Carole Lewis from http://www.coachville.com

     

    1. Delegate outcomes, don't dump problems.
    2. Only delegate to people you trust. Period.
    3. Point out the consequences to the company/yourself if what you're delegating is NOT successfully managed.
    4. Delegate small pieces at first; then more.
    5. Install a reporting system, so that you can catch problems way before they become a real problem.
    6. Ask the delegatee to develop the milestones, midpoints and phases, even if you already know what they should be.
    7. Don't delegate what should be automated.
    8. Don't delegate what only you can do right.
    9. If you can't find good people to delegate to, learn from THAT.
    10. Spend triple the amount of time with the delegatee than you think you should.


    Joint Event Proposal for Professional Members

    Corporate Coaching Culture - A New Map for a New Age

    By Charlie Lang

    Traditional corporate cultures based on orders and obedience lead to increased staff turnover and mediocre performance. What worked in the Industrial Age is increasingly becoming a liability for organizations in the age of the knowledge worker or Information Age.

    How did you enter the field of coaching?
    In 2003 I left behind my job as a corporate trainer in the Netherlands and moved to the USA with my husband. This was a turning point in my life and career. I decided to attend the New York University in order to learn more about executive coaching. I realized that being an experienced communication and leadership trainer could be a helpful asset to executive coaching. One of my teachers inspired me to start my own business; soon after, senior executives in Fortune 500 companies were acknowledging and appreciating the added value of my coaching service.

    In September 2007 I decided to move my business to Hong Kong.

    Tantra Workshops in March

    Tantra is a Sanskrit word meaning "weaving" and "expansion," born in India 5,000 years ago as a rebellion against the strict moralistic codes of the Hindu religion.

    Although the West is fascinated with its sexual aspects, Tantra is fundamentally about love, spirit and energy. It's about saying "Yes" to life, embracing all and rejecting nothing. We have only to open our hearts more fully and recognize the god and goddess within each of us.

    Click here to learn about 2 March workshops in Hong Kong by visiting Tantra teacher, Dr. Deborah Taj Anapol.
