In 1999 a group of concerned coaches came together to establish the IIC, originally formed as the ECI, under the leadership of Ben Botes as the original founder and CEO. Ben was ably supported by Aina Egeberg who was head of Erikson Coach Training in the UK. The initial focus was on life coaching but this was quickly changed to embrace all areas of coaching, including Business, Executive, and Corporate of coaching. The current President and Vice President joined in 2002 and stepped into their leadership roles a year later.

A New Top Tip from the July IIC Newletter

Top Tip - Taking Time Out

1. Try something new
   As they say, variety is the spice of life! There are so many experiences on offer to pick from. Perhaps you could visit somewhere you’ve never been before, try a new hobby or activity, eat in a different restaurant or cook a new recipe. The list is endless.
2. Re-connect with people you haven’t seen for some time
   With life making so many demands on your time it is easy for weeks to go past without talking to some people. Make a conscious effort to telephone or meet someone you haven’t seen for some time and catch up with what they have been doing. Reconnecting with other people also helps you gain a more balanced perspective of your own life.
3. Spend some time outdoors
   Go for a walk, ideally somewhere quiet and rural, or sit in a park perhaps. Spending some time surrounded by nature has an extremely calming effect. Really observe your surroundings, listen to the sounds and clear your mind of the stresses of work.
4. Take control of your time
   Regardless of the tasks required of you in any given day, there will be pockets of time that you have absolute control over. This is when you can choose how you use this time. Make a commitment to take time out regularly. If necessary block that time off in your diary as if you would a meeting, and value you it as jut as important. Be strong enough to honour that time as an investment in your wellbeing.
5. Say ‘no’ when necessary
   If we look at all the jobs we have set ourselves, are they all necessary? Are some detracting from our true priorities and hindering our journey? If so, how realistic is it to remove them? Wherever possible, let go of demands which are causing unnecessary stress and be conscious of saying ‘no’ when asked to do such things in future.

International Institute of Coaching "E-Zine"

Greetings Coaches!

The International Institute of Coaching prides itself on being within the forefront of the International Coaching Community. We feel that through Coaching, we can establish a greater good in the world and bring about a raised level of consciousness for the betterment of human kind.

As Coaches, in order to achieve this higher level of consciousness in others, we coach! We reach out and change peoples lives teaching them the skills they need to achieve personal greatness. There is now a better way.

Throughout the International Coaching Community, Coaches everywhere are creating new personal development systems, mind practices, thought processes, and other new ways to coach. The age we live in today breeds this kind of rapid connection and production of ideologies aimed toward simply helping others. Advances in telecommunication, data transmission, online networking all aid in this new era of global personal connectivity.

At the IIC, we are always thinking of new ways to take advantage of these outlets. Social Media has been one area that the International Institute of Coaching has began focusing on over the past 6 months. We have found that through Social Media, the opportunities for bringing more coaches and coaching ideas together is easier than anyone could have ever imagined.

So this is where we need your help!

The International Institute of Coaching is planning on creating an online “E-Zine”. Similar to online newsletters, an E-Zine is a freely accessible online magazine. The difference between an online newsletter and an E-Zine is that E-Zines are living.
Living? How can a website or blog be living?

Easy. Instead of sending out a coaching newsletter once a month with a set timeline and articles written by a set number of people, a Coaching-related E-Zine employs the contributions of anyone. Anyone willing to share their stories, ideas, methodologies, or anything relating to the Coaching World can contribute.

This is why we need your help. With the contributions of Coaches like you, we can create a Coaching E-Zine. We can provide the International Coaching Community with an outlet for any information, coaching related, and an easy way to access it.

So please, contact us if you wish to take part in this project in any way, shape, or form. Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated. There are no wrong answers, and as long as the material you submit is with respect toward others and for the benefit of coaches across the globe. We will accept it.
