Dear HKICC Friends, Welcome to another issue of our newsletter. One of the questions I get asked often is "Is there enough demand for coaching to make it my full time career?"

There are always people out there who would gladly hire your services, but do they know that a service such as what you provide exists ...   Anita Moorjani, President, HKICC president@coachinghk.org   Dear Readers, With two teenage children at home from boarding school these last two months, I've found myself looking to be more disciplined in order to focus on different commitments - and I've been thinking about discipline ...

Awakening the Dreamer Review   Can you imagine what an environmentally sustainable, socially just and spiritually fulfilling world looks like? If it can be imagined, it can be brought into being!  Most of the 30-some participants at the 'Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream' Symposium (ATD) on 12th August reportedly left the 4-hour session with a sense of proactive ownership of the collective issues and a new awareness and commitment to action… "Feeling a sense of community – we are one and there is hope for planet earth…" – Gloria Hung "I am leaving the symposium filled with ideas, plans, new language and a deeper awareness what I can do…Me…I can become an instrument of sharing that WILL make a difference…" – M. J. Jennings We greatly appreciated the presence of participants, HKICC for its support in making it happen, our kind sponsors of food - Organic Land, Health Gate and Peak Performance.
