In-Between choice thoughts We have almost completed the December issue that explores the differences between individual, group and team coaching. We examine how Team Coaching helps all the team members change their team dynamics regardless of the sum of individualities that make up the team. How does it work? Where does it work? Come explore this innovative and effective coaching methodology. Plans are to have it to you in time for your post holiday reading. We had a great time celebrating our 5th anniversary at the ICF Conference in Montreal. There was lots of cake and many friends there to share it with us. Thanks to those of you who stopped by and to everyone for your kind wishes. And you can hear more about choice and coaching on this weeks "The Coaching Show" that airs Live Wednesday mornings on www.wsradio.com. Call in at 8 am Pacific, 11 am Eastern 877-474-3302 As always we support our community and the efforts of those such as Karl at Sherpa Coaching and their annual survey. Here is a note from them: "As a recognized professional in your field, you're invited to be part of an online study about executive coaching and leadership. As a participant, you will receive complete results when the program concludes. The study is sponsored by Sherpa Coaching and the executive education programs at the University of Georgia and Texas Christian University.

Call for Contributions Don't Miss Our Other Upcoming 2009 Issues of choice The "M" Word - June 2009 (V7N2 ) "Why don't more coaches make more money?" This is one of our profession's most often-asked questions. What do we need to do to market ourselves and reach financial success? Is there a psychology behind the conversation about coaching and making money? Find some answers as we take an in-depth look at this pervasive issue. Article Deadline: March 13, 2009 Ad Close: April 22, 2009 Mails: June 2009 Neuro Science - September 2009 (V7N3) Most coaches know how coaching works, but few know how or why. Scientists studying attention, insight, how we know ourselves, emotional regulation and other fields are beginning to illustrate the reasons change is so hard, and exactly how coaches help. By understanding the functioning that drives effective coaching we can better understand what coaching does, and improve the impact of coaching techniques. Article Deadline: June 15, 2009 Ad Close: July 22, 2009 Mails: September 2009 Positive Psychology in Coaching - December 2009 (V7N4) Positive Psychology is the scientific study of happiness - both of individuals and of their communities. The focus of this emerging field is on identifying and maximizing the use of an individual's positive psychological traits, rather than improving or correcting any negative flaws. How is this new discipline similar to professional coaching? What can we learn from Positive Psychology, and how can we apply it to enhance our work? Dive into this exciting topic with us.
