From the Editor

Greetings,

I have always loved spending time by the water. Whether it be a seaside beach, my family’s cabin on a lake in the Adirondacks, or a quiet stream in the woods, I am overcome with a sense of calm and peace. You can only imagine how grateful I was to spend last weekend strolling along the Hudson River for a two-day music festival. It was a great way to usher in the summertime in my part of the world!

I hope that you all have your environments (like my waterside locations) that help you find necessary peace of mind. Many of the sentiments our authors bring up this week are about understanding yourself so you can best support your clients, and how to approach the coaching Masteries with a unique attitude best suited for you.

We also have a new bi-monthly column to share with you called “Meet the Coach”, arranged by IAC Director of Development Ed Britton, that will highlight select certified coaches at the IAC. Enjoy the opportunity to get to know the coaches in your world!

Is there something you’d like to see in the VOICE? A particular subject you’d like us to address? Please don’t hesitate to contact us at voice@certifiedcoach.org with comments, questions, event notices, or article contributions. We are always looking for new perspectives and look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Beth Ann
