Shift Your Perspective

When you go on vacation, do you prefer to plan out every detail or do you like to wing it? Recently my husband Dave and I had the opportunity to travel to the Pacific Northwest for an anniversary trip. We've learned we really love to wing it beyond getting our accommodations set up. We call it "summer breezin'" -- just seeing where the wind takes us and going with the flow.

A New Chapter for Our Coaching Connection

Our Monday Morning Coaching Calls are now Coaches’ Circle: Midday Edition. We have changed to bi-weekly meetings on the first and third Mondays of the month.

We look forward to catching up with you on November 3 and 17!

The new time is during the lunch hour (12:00 PM CT), making it more accessible for busy schedules.

We'll still have the same great space for accountability, connection, and "geeking out" on all things coaching. We can't wait to see you there!

"Real Talk" Series

Real_Talk_Email_Header.png
Join us for some Real Talk! In this series we will discuss the real issues we all face as coaches, entrepreneurs, and humans striving to make a difference. We will share our experience and opinions, not answers. These sessions will not be recorded, as we want to encourage candid conversation and a safe space for all.
 
Do you have suggestions for a Real Talk topic? Are you interested in facilitating a Real Talk conversation? Reach out to any member of the ICF Iowa board!
