From the CEO

Building Together

Whether you ’ re a new coach or longtime practitioner , chances are you ’ ve spent time wondering how to build a sustainable coaching business — or , if you ’ re an internal coach , how to build a sustainable coaching culture in your organization .
We hear you loud and clear , which is why we want to bring you insights and resources you can use to achieve your goals . Our virtual Business Development Series has offered coaches at every step of their career cutting-edge education around topics including choosing and capitalizing on a coaching niche , networking , social media , and diversifying their revenue streams . We ’ re leading the way in industry research , with offerings including the Global Coaching Study , the Building a Coaching Culture research suite developed in conjunction with the Human Capital Institute and the Global Consumer Awareness Study ( stay tuned for the 2017 iteration of this research to be published later this year ).
We ’ re also committed to helping you grow your business acumen through high-quality global events . This is why business development education will be a key component of ICF Converge 2017 , a first-of-itskind global event taking place August 24 – 26 , in Washington , D . C ., USA . You can learn more about this exciting new opportunity to connect with your coaching colleagues at ICFConverge . com .
The tagline for ICF Converge is “ The Intersection of Coaching and Potential ,” and whether you ’ re able to join us at the event or not , I invite you to spend the coming months thinking about how you can unlock the potential of your business . What ’ s one thing you could do differently this year to help achieve your goals ? How can you tap into the ICF community , at the Chapter or Global level , to make that possible ?
Building your business may seem like an individual pursuit , but we ’ re always stronger together . So , with the support of your coaching colleagues in your community and around the globe , what will you build in 2017 ? What can we build together ? facebook . com / icfhq
