In-Between choice thoughts
There never seems to be a time when I don't find myself saying, "What a great time to be a part of this amazing profession called coaching."
I'm thinking and saying this now more than ever as we are seeing such clear signs of the maturation of the profession.
As always, choice spotlights the latest and most exciting developments in our field.
Our previous issue focusing on "Neuroscience: Coaching and the Brain" was our most well-received issue in five years of publication,and now, we bring you "Positive Psychology & Coaching" in the hope that it will keep the learning and the conversation going.
Both areas are considered as foundational and perhaps the makings of a body of knowledge for our beloved profession, and choice, as the magazine of professional coaching, will continue to follow these and other disciplines that bring credibility and a scientific basis to the practice of coaching.
Speaking of credibility, the recent conversation about credentialling is another sure sign that coaching is maturing. As our profession grapples with the question of what is needed to best serve our clients, it is encouraging to see ourcommunity working together to find the answer and thereby frame the future of our professional accreditation.
We will monitor the discussion and keep you abreast of the developments and the outcome in a future issue of choice.
We at choice are also maturing and changing as we continue to plan and build our community - a place for ALL coaching professionals to gather to communicate, collaborate and share ideas, successes and challenges in an independent, unbiased environment. We have unlimited resources from around the world to support your development in becoming the best coach you can be.
We look forward to growing and maturing together with you and with our profession!

And finally, a note to all of you budding writers out there: we are working on getting a few issues ahead so take a look at the coming issues of 2010 and get those articles flowing! As always, we accept articles for consideration that follow the writers' guidelines on our site. We also consider articles for non-theme-specific topics of interest. We will contact you if your article is chosen for publication..
Remember, every profession has a magazine and choice is yours!
