From the Editor

Angela

Happy New Year all! We have a bumper issue
to start off the year.

One of our goals in 2008 is to involve
you more in the on-going creation of this
organization. With that aim in mind, you’ll
find three items of interest here:

• A review of the
  IAC leadership team
  to give you a glimpse behind the scenes
• An introduction to
  China-based Board
  of Governors member Bonnie Chan
• An opening for
  two key volunteers roles
  including a list of the rewards available.

As you consider your plans for 2008, and
if you think a role with the IAC might add
an element of stimulation, contribution
or community, please let us know
through
our volunteer sign-up link.

Our President Natalie demonstrates how
to perfect the present in her report this
month. I can’t tell you how proud
I am to be a part of an organization that
models and lives the coaching philosophy
of seeing the hidden gift in setbacks.
We are blessed to have such an inspiring
leader.

There are three more goodies in this issue,
all for your continuing development:

• One of the authors of ‘How Coaching
  Works’, Joseph O’Connor describes
  some distinct coaching models he uses
  in ‘Seeing What Isn’t There’
  (for members only).
• We have two new member benefits with substantial discounts on the
  Six Advisors™ Coaching Academy and choice Magazine.
• Coaching Moments gets quite practical
  this month, and is still beautiful to
  read.

My thanks go to all the contributors in
this issue, and especially to our proofreader,
Kathleen Richardson, another well-placed
rock who holds us up.

Cheers,

Angela Spaxman
