Message from the
President
 A local community turns
global
The dream is now a reality. With support from
coaches, trainers, therapists, HR people and other
professionals, HKICC was inaugurated on the 26th
April 2006. It serves as a platform for all
professional coaches. As the newly elected
President, I would like to take the opportunity here
to express my gratitude for all those who have
served before me. I am deeply indebted to their
great efforts in building a strong foundation for HKICC.
Member’s needs
At the AGM, I heard your needs as an aspiring coach
or as an established personal or corporate coach. I am
committed to work with my management committee
members on the groundwork that is already there.
Your wish to have your needs met and for more
resources are noted down and will be discussed at
our next Focus Meeting. We will be working together
to turn some and eventually, all of these written
ideas into reality.
The Way Forward
- HKICC will continue to serve as the
“voice for coaches and people who use
professional coaching
services”
- HKICC will defend and promote coaches and
clients’ interests and will also serve as an
advocate and lobbyist for professional
coaching
- It will also carry out educational,
promotional and community relation efforts to
educate the public about the tremendous economic and
social benefits our coaches can provide on a daily
basis. Coaching is being recognized more and more
internationally as an emerging and significant
profession
- HKICC is interested to form alliances with
other organizations to discuss cooperate strategies
and promote coaching. Some organizations have
approached us and talks are in progress
- HKICC works towards establishing itself as a
professional body and serves to assist aspiring, new
and experienced coaches
- HKICC will play an active role in the local
and international coaching community and welcomes
all opportunities to learn, listen and
grow.
You’re are an asset to HKICC
If our agenda appears broad – it is- but I feel it
is crucial at this time. Thank you for continuing
to support HKICC. I am looking forward to the
coming year which will be filled with many
opportunities for exciting developments. I would
very much like to hear your comments and feedback on
how we can work together to move forward, please
send me an e-mail or call directly.
Peace.

 Vikki G. Brock, MBA, MCC
completed a
survey to find
out the key influences and influencers in the field
of coaching. Her findings of this 2005 survey
provide some fascinating and helpful insights into
the coaching profession. Her findings have shown
that when viewing the demographic information, it is
safe to say that coaches are generally highly
educated, mature, and multifaceted professionals who
work in professions related to coaching.

| The Top 10 List: Things to do when you feel blocked and tired |
|
|
By Deborah WY Ko
- Take a power nap, this gives
your mind and body a break to work through a block.
- Move your body. Take a walk or
hit the gym, do something that increases your
body’s metabolism. This lifts your
spirit and loosens up your mind, resulting in a
greater energy flow.
- Get in touch with your coach. Your coach is trained to listen and offer help
and support.
- Indulge in your passion. I’m passionate about cycling so I get on
the bike whenever I feel blocked.
- Eat or drink something really
delicious. When I’m stuck,
I’ll have some chocolate or fresh juice. Have
something that works for you.
- Do something different. Work on
a different project or task for a while and then go
back and see if you have any new ideas.
- Listen to great music
- Talk to a loved one
- Establish a routine. A routine
provides momentum and this will keep you from
getting stuck. So, schedule in an hour or so of work
between appointments.
- Tidy up your workspace. Having
a disorganized space can be an energy drain.
When I get stuck, I often take a few minutes to put
things away or clear my desk so there’s less
stuff dragging me down.
What is your favorite Top 10 List? Send it to Deborah and
we will publish it here.

by Deborah WY Ko
“Professional athletes talk all the time about
my game. But your game doesn’t belong to you when
you’re a team – there’s no such thing as my game,
there is only the game. Your effort belongs to your
teammates and theirs belongs to you, and they’re
inextricable. The same is true of any gathering of
people in one place, for any purpose. The definition
of a team is a group of people who share the same
aim, experience, and values.”
Lance Armstrong 7 times winner of Tour de
France
Every Second Counts
Armstrong is not only a living legend but for me,
he’s also a role model. It’s abundantly clear that
the successful launch of HKICC at the AGM on the
26th April was largely due to the team effort of all
the members and volunteer people. Together, they
pooled their resources, talent, ideas and much more
to make the evening truly historic, fun and
memorable.
