This Sunday 5th February marks the start of International Coaching Week (ICW). A week long global celebration of the coaching profession held annually, during the first full week in February. You can find out more here EMCC and here ICF.
There are loads of ways to celebrate and participate. Amongst other things, I’m providing pro-bono coaching and helping a fantastic group of EMCC volunteers to launch the EMCC UK Cambridge Network on Tuesday evening.
I’m also going to run a series of blogs through the week on the theme of both coaching & mentoring. I have a few ideas but then thought why not ask you to join in the fun! Here’s how you can participate:
Challenge me!
So what are the questions you have about coaching & mentoring? Is there anything you’ve always wondered but have never asked about? Do you have questions or concerns about coaching or mentoring?
Just share what you'd like to be discussed and I'll try to blog about them. I don't promise any answers but I will happily explore with you!
Collaborate with me!
Would you like to guest blog here on any coaching & mentoring related subject? You don’t have to be an expert. You don’t have to be a coach or mentor. If you have a perspective or experience related to coaching or mentoring that you’d like to share in detail here then I’d be delighted to help.
Celebrate with me!
It would be great to celebrate your own activities and experiences of ICW. If you are already participating in #ICW then let me know what you are up to - blog links also welcome.
Need Help?
If you want to celebrate but don’t know how, just give me a call. Myself and I’m sure other colleagues would be happy to either suggest ideas or even support you.
What next?
Well if the above has piqued your curiosity or just want to jump in with both feet then just let me know! You can either use the comments form below, tweet me directly here or email me here.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Fantastic idea David. I particularly LOVE the offer to us to challenge you to blog about something we are curious about. I'd love to hear both yours and others perspectives on coaching and mentoring .... what coaching is, what coaching isn't. What mentoring is and what mentoring isn't. A bonus to this would be any real examples of when you've used both and what that has created ....
