Message
from the
President
Dear HKICC Friends,
In less than two months, a new year will
begin and I expect it to become a
particularly exciting one for HKICC.
Why?
Because several outcomes from the strategy
workshop back in August this year are
shaping into tangible results which will come
into effect together with the new membership
year starting in January 2008.
Keep

| TOP 10 Reasons to Offer Assessments |
|
|
Adapted by Carole Lewis for HKICC from an
article by Roberta Hill MBA, PCC, from http://www.wabccoaches.com/
1. Everyone is doing it.
2. Sometimes a client requests an
assessment.
3. An assessment is a tangible product.
4. Providing service packages can generate
more income.
5. An assessment may leverage other
business.
6. Certification in an assessment can
confirm your expertise.
7. The topic of assessments itself opens
up discussions.
8. Some form of neutral input about a
client is desirable.
9. Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.
10. Working closely with a tool not only
helps to make you more of an expert in that
area-it also forces you to look closely at
yourself.

| You Might Just Get What You Need |
|
|
Adapted by Carole Lewis for HKICC from an
article entitled 'You Only Get What You are
Ready to Receive' by Dwayne
Gilbert from http://ezinearticles.com/
Each and every one of us is at a different
place in our understanding and lives, and in
our ability to understand and utilize
specific lessons in our life. You will only
ever receive what you are prepared to
receive and understand from where you are at
any given moment in your life.
Even reading this right now, you will
only get what you are ready to know and
understand. Reading this again a week or two
from now, you will get something completely
different out of it, if you are ready to
receive something else and something new.
Open yourself up in order to be able to
receive more.

Dear Readers,
"When the student is ready [to gain
insight about themselves], the teacher
appears". This oft-cited quote lies at
the heart of use of assessments in coaching.
Some coaches, like our member profilee
Martha Collard, are certified in an
impressive number of psychometrics, while
others shun any sort of assessment
whatsoever. Read this month's Top 10 to
learn more about why delivering information
on a client's natural preferences and
strengths is greatly beneficial - but only
when they're really ready to absorb and act
on the insight.
As ever, your contributions are more than
welcome. I look forward to hearing more about
what you want to read.
Happy reading,
Michelle Gabbe
