Power of Community

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean" - Ryunosuke Satoro

With all the uncertainty in the world right now, I am grateful for the power of our community. You chose to show up this year in the midst of making yourself available to your clients, families and communities. Thank you for participating. Thank you for the work you do.  Your engagement is the foundation of our chapter.

Having a space I could go to this year and talk to like-minded people in my profession was priceless.  The experience kept me grounded and connected to important aspects of my life. I am confident  we will continue to show up for each other and have a strong presence in the coaching world in 2021.

Have a wonderful holiday season!
Cheron


Cheron Freeman,

2020 ICF Michigan President
