Glynis Ferguson Editor     Increase Your Attractiveness As A Coach, by Benoit Foucher, Wednesday, July 15 (English) Bridging the Coaching Gap between Hong Kong and China, by Bonnie Chan, Wednesday, August 5 (English) Awakening the Dreamer - a Vital Role for Coaches, by Anita Cheung and Alan Stewart, Wednesday, August 12 (English)   What led you into coaching? As it turns out, I was coaching for many years and didn’t realize it! I had been happily applying a ‘coach approach’ to a regional management position before I’d even heard of coaching as a profession. Eventually I formalized my natural approach with training in coaching skills. What makes you a great coach? That I believe with every cell of my being in the expansive potential for human growth. I place no limits on what my clients can achieve.
