From the Editor

Welcome to 2014! What a wild year 2013 was, I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future.

The start of 2014 brings many changes. We are very excited to welcome Vicki Zanini into her new role as IAC President! We are also excited introduce new regular articles to the VOICE such as Jan O’Brien’s “Intercultural Corner” as well as the Licensing Committee Column that will be explored further next month.

I hope you enjoy the articles this month that delve into the Masteries and welcome us into the new year. As always, please contact us at voice@certifiedcoach.org with comments, questions, event notices, or article contributions. We are always looking for unique perspectives and hope to kick-start 2014 with new thoughts and perspectives to share.

I wish you a year of happiness and growth!

Best,
Beth Ann
