Dear Friends,
 I hope those who have been away for summer holidays
are nice and relaxed and
ready to come back for our PD meeting on the 28th
September.
We have introduced a new section to our
newsletter: Book of the Month. This
section is to give our members a short summary on
books that have some relevance
to coaching. Why not write a book report for
October’s newsletter.
See you all at our PD meeting on the 28th.

| “Easy Parenting” – Exciting Night! |
 |
|
by CXC Secretary Nana Wong
CXC is a subcommittee of HKCC. It offers a free
talk series to promote coaching
services in the mainstream local community.
On August 16, CXC has successfully delivered its
first CANTONESE 'Free Talk
Series', named "Easy Parenting - Turn Scars Into
Stars" by Bonnie Chan and SK
Shum. Even though it was extremely heavy rain, we
still had 14 participants
attending the workshop.
In the workshop, Bonnie and SK led us to look at
parenting from different angles.
Awareness was the main point brought to the
audience. Participants were very
active in asking questions and giving their
opinions and suggestions. The participants
were set up into two groups. The first group
discussed how to be a good parents;
another group discussed what kind of parents will
we need to be so our children
are proud of us. The results of group discussion
were fruitful.
The feedbacks from participants were very
positive. They found this workshop
was very useful and they suggested discussing more
in the future. Such as:
- "It creates awareness and enables exchange of
ideas."
- "It facilitates extensive experience sharing
among participants."
- "Discussion topic reached the purpose -
awareness"
After this first successful workshop, CXC will
continually organize more free
talks to public.

| Book of the month: Choice Theory by William Glasser |
|
|
The essence of Choice theory is summed up by the
books sub line “Choosing
the life you want to live and staying close to the
people you need.” Choice
theory to me is an informational and practical
model designed to support people
to have great and lasting relationships.
Life is about relationship with others.
People’s individual problems,
concerns, issues could be solved if they
understood that they have the ability
to choose what they want out of life, who they
allow to speak into their lives
and who they want to be close to.
Relevance to coaching
Coaching is a powerful relationship for people
making important changes in
their lives. Choice theory solidifies that the
client’s choices and actions
will determine their results in life.

Connecting
with my Pre Teen / Teen 4 week group series
Learn the secret of using
Life Coaching Skills to strengthen
your family relationships
Being a parent is a lifelong
commitment. As our children
change and grow, parents also need to evolve
with them. While the primary
relationship remains the same, the role
needs to change from the parent
as manager approach to the parent as coach
approach.
Jaime
Simpson,
Parent and Teen Coach will introduce you to
a 7 step model to prepare
you for the teenager years or to connect
with your teen.
Next series: 26 September

standards

their staff don't learn and are
not reaching their potential
Learn new skills, gain new
