2019 Wrap-Up

Jackie Browning
2019 ICF Michigan President


Dear Coaches,
 
This is my final time to speak to you as the International Coach Federation (ICF) Michigan Charter Chapter president. I am grateful for the opportunity and honor to serve for the past year.

It is traditional at this time for the outgoing president to report the accomplishments of their year - there have been many:

*  We invited several organizations and educational institutions to various events that allowed us to understand their coaching needs.

*  We exposed various groups, companies, and individuals to ICF Michigan coaches and our reputation as the gold standard for coaches.

*  We initiated our Coaches Connection event in Grand Rapids.

*  We launched our Chapter's first-ever Virtual Coaching Fishbowl event. We gathered together coaches of all levels to observe real-time, true-life coaching.

*  Our updated, user-friendly website will launch in January 2020, with an enhanced search feature to quickly identify coaches and their specialties.

You should be pleased with what we as a Chapter accomplished this year. I salute all the coaches in the ICF Michigan Charter Chapter for being one of the best chapters in the Global International Coach Federation.

I believe coaching is as much a science as it is an art  -  coaching concepts and strategies will continue to evolve. Therefore, we should continually offer our clients opportunities to venture onto paths of innovation and creativity.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for your encouragement.

Thank you for your trust.

I am now your Happy-Glad past-president!

Jackie Browning
2019 President, ICF Michigan
