International Coach Federation Annual Conference

This year's International Coach Conference in Montreal in November was like no other. This is my 12th year attending the annual conference and I'm always happy I attend as I learn alot and meet amazing people from all over the world. Coaches from over 46 countries gathered this year to deepen their learning and contribute to the growth of their fellow coaches on many levels! Wisdom Circles, live coaching demos, workshops, and master certified special coach training session were all part of the venue. Being a Master Certified Coach allows me to participate in some advanced training I would not otherwise have the opportunity in which to participate. The conference opened each day with a super session with three amazing world leaders; Vandana Shiva, Peter Senge, and Matthieu Ricard, "The World's Happiest Man. These keynote speakers provided us with new wisdom, scientific research, and insights as they shared refreshing new ways of expanding our perspectives and how we can each have a ripple effect globally.

The ICF is really an amazing organization with over 14,000 coaches from many disciplines, backgrounds, and countries. Check them out at www.coachfederation.org

Women's Weekend of Spirit and Healing recap

It was wonderful. It was inspiring. We learned alot about so many things that matter to our lives as women; ranging from how to deal with change better, how to heal ourselves, how to move our bodies with passion, how to eat to be healthy and sexy!, how to find our voice, and how to take care of our precious breasts so they remain healthy. We got free gifts and chocolate too! It was wonderful. It was truly inspiring. Plus we had a wicked good time! In a stunning inn and spa at The Stonehedge Inn.
