Coaching Interest Group -- October 24, 2013

COACHING INTEREST GROUP MEETING

Join us for the Coaching Interest Group meeting on Thursday, October 24, 2013.  This special interest group is for everyone with an interest in coaching.  Members of the Network are always welcome to attend the Coaching Group!

Location:  Mimi’s Café, 4175 Millenia Blvd., Orlando (near Millenia Mall -- see map below)

The theme of this meeting will be the scientific study of helping clients Change.
Coaching is about helping clients change, whether it is behavior, attitude or using their strengths.  This topic was brought up at our last Sig group meeting and we will continue the discussion during our next meeting.  Sometimes clients don’t want to change, but if they do then it is our responsibility as coaches to help them make the changes that will better their life.

As a spring board for our discussion we will use the book Changeology by John C. Norcross. 

Dr. John C. Norcross, an internationally recognized expert, has studied how people make transformative, permanent changes in their lives. Over the past thirty years, he and his research team have helped thousands of people overcome dozens of behavioral ailments. Now his cutting-edge, scientific approach to personal improvement is being made available in this indispensable guide.

Unlike  other of self-help books, the Changeology  has a documented track record of success. Dr. Norcross provides the tools that can help someone make the  changes they want within 90 days. Changeology describes:

*¦ How to define goals and get started in a new direction

* How motivate and prepare for self-change

* How to prevent relapses into old patterns

* How to master the skills that sustain change

* How to personalize your journey with Check Yourself assessments and an inter- active website, www.ChangeologyBook.com.
