Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM CST
Location: Zoom
CEU's: 2 Resource Development
Program:
When we hear the term 'brand,' we often think of it as related to a business's branding or marketing. But for Kelli Williams, she also thinks of the ways "brand" relates to how she represents herself, how she shows up in the world, and the filter she applies to determine which opportunities are right for her. Kelli's personal brand shows up in her interpersonal interactions, social media, emails, articles, interviews, and presentations. Come prepared to learn more about personal branding and how to use your personal brand to stand out and shine through in the age of communication overload.

| | | It is time for the Gaston & Pathfinder Award Nominations!
The Gaston award recognizes a coach who exhibits distinguished service to the coaching profession and the ICF MN chapter. The award is in honor of Elaine Gaston, one of our founding members who received the first Gaston Award in 2006 for lifetime achievement and dedication to the coaching profession.
The Pathfinder is awarded to a coach who demonstrates clear and strong leadership within the ICF Minnesota chapter in support of the ICF MN mission and vision. The Pathfinder Award originated in 2021 as a way to recognize outstanding change, growth or innovation with a new ICF MN initiative.
Submit your nomination for either the Gaston or Pathfinder award by July 15, 2023.
Both awards will be given at our annual “Celebration of Excellence & Service in Coaching” in September 2023 (date & time TBD).
Our intention is to ensure that everyone has time and opportunity to nominate individuals who exemplify the true nature of the coaching profession.
