Covid-19 Resources for Coaches

   

Today our minds and hearts are heavy with the ever-changing news about the impact of the Coronavirus. We are inundated with news 24/7 that has left some people feeling fearful and panicked. I would like to suggest that now, especially during this unprecedented time, we are called to choose wisely and be intentional about where and how we focus our energy and effort.

As coaches, we have a special opportunity to help people move from fear and panic to surrender, optimism, trust, and humility. Together, we can co-create a world of healing strength and rise to unite communities to embrace the current situation and focus on the positive.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the people who have been affected by these challenging times and we appreciate the healthcare workers, local communities, and governments around the world who are on the front line working to contain the Coronavirus.

Now is a time for introspection and collective positive energy. This is our time, as coaches, to help people cope with the unknown and move to possibilities beyond their current imagination. A time to bring about authentic greatness and connectedness.

We are prepared to navigate through these challenging circumstances with your safety and health at the forefront of what we do. Please take all necessary steps to ensure your safety and wellbeing as well as those of your families, friends, co-workers, clients, etc.

ICF Global has many resources to assist coaches with the Coronavirus, and you can find those resources via the link below. ICF MD would also like to offer a support group for our members to come together for conversation via zoom to support one another. The first support group will be held on Monday 3-23-20 from 7:00-8:30 pm and can be accessed via the link below.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Thriving Coaches, Thriving Clients Retreat Update

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, we are writing to share an update on the "Thriving Coaches, Thriving Clients," Retreat scheduled for April 24 at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. As always the health and well being of attendees, staff, and volunteers remains a top priority.

Therefore, we will be canceling the event and will continue having conversations to determine if we can offer a similar venue at a later time this year. All participants who have signed up and paid will be reimbursed.

We understand this is a challenging time for everyone and it is important that we first consider the health of our communities. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Please visit our website ICF Maryland Charter Chapter to learn about our upcoming March 26 webinar. Rayna Schroeder, PCC, will be facilitating Weaving Positive Psychology Tools into Your Coaching.

Thank you,
ICF Maryland Team
