Yes, only 2 months left in 2019, where did the year go?
Come November we are wrapping up 2019 and some are planning for 2020. Are you in the midst of creating your goals for 2020? Are your clients creating their goals?
There is something wonderful about “wiping the slate clean” and starting the New Year with new goals. Do you plan to write your goals down? Do you plan to share them? Do you plan to give updates?
I am sure you have all seen the numbers- they vary by source, but I think they are still staggering.
· 14% of people have a goal plan in mind, but these are unwritten goals.
· Only 3% of all adults have written goals for the year.
· People with written goals are 50% more likely to achieve than people without goals.
· Only 8% of adults reach their goals in the year.
· Studies by Gail Matthews at Dominican University has proved that strategies for effective goal achievement include writing goals down, sharing goals and providing confidants with one's progress updates.
ICF MN has a 3 year strategic plan and goals for the year. Read more...https://www.icfminnesota.org/content.aspx?page_id=2507&club_id=907122&item_id=2232&pst=9729&actr=3

A CELEBRATION OF EXCELLENCE & SERVICEIN COACHING: IMAGINE IF…
Sept 2019, Written by Mary Kay Delvo, INspiring SIGHT
If we were to view the coaching profession through a lens of human development, we would see that as a profession, coaching is in young adulthood. Just as in human development, we go through stages, so did the coaching profession
Coaching has moved from the early years of “What little league team do you coach?”, to today, where coaching is being utilized in all sectors, with individuals, teams and organizations and as a way to create healthy cultures on purpose instead of thought of as a way to fix what is not working.

Truly for All?
By Shawn Moore
On Oct 12, MN ICF Mirror team conducted a beta test! What type of test you might be asking? Well, it was more of a question about “what could happen,” if we invited folks to a workshop that centered on introducing coaching to E.R.C (Ethnicity, Race, and Culture) folks, and Urban Community agencies?
The beta workshop was one way the ICF Mirror team is trying to accomplish one of its initiatives of introducing coaching to a more diverse audience. The overall idea for the event was simple, and ICF MN intended to gather information as to whether we would do something much larger in 2020.
The day included round table exercises, small and large group discussions, storytelling from folks of color who have used coaching as a means to change their world, and a lecture/training from Master Coach Jennie Antolak and myself. The day started with Jim Bear Jacobs inviting folks to engage in a Native American Smudging ceremony.
Overall, we had 22 people at the event, in which 60 % were People of color. A survey was given out and beta workshop received a 4.9 out a 5-overall rating.
The beta workshop was a success and the Mirror team is currently examining the data to determine the best way to move forward in 2020.

We are happy to announce the 2020 board!
It’s a great collection of continuing board members and new board members who are ready to take the ICF Minnesota chapter to the next level.
We are still looking for a Treasurer if you would like to be of service. You don’t have to be super number savvy as Christopher, our accountant, does all of the number crunching. It might even be a great way to get in touch with bookkeeping for your business.
Contact Deb Johnson for more information.

Meet the Coach withHolly O’Hanlon
What brought you to coaching?
The desire to work with people in a more meaningful way. As I grew a team in my corporate role, I realized how much I enjoyed helping those on my team develop and grow, and I just wanted to be better at it.
I have also always had a passion for well-being and helping others improve theirs. Eventually, I decided to leave my corporate job, learn what being a Coach truly meant and start my own business!

ICF Global Converge Oct 2019 Report- Trish Perry
As many of you know, I was in Prague for the ICF Global Converge at the end of Oct. The best word I can use to describe the experience of the conference and Prague is ABUNDANCE.
I will be recapping all of my sessions for the December Catalyst as it will take me a week to do the recaps. For this issue, I do want to recap the closing keynote by Luvvie (pronounced Lovie) Ajayi who is a Nigerian born author, speaker and digital strategist. She was engaging, inspiring and challenging. A great close to the conference. I could write 3 pages, but I will stick to the key points.
Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable.

ICF Board MemberAnn Houser
I attended the U of M’s program on purpose recently. Louellen Essex shared a courage calculation questionnaire regarding culture and risk assessment. It’s highly applicable to coaching clients contemplating courageous action at work (or home). It will be a great coaching tool to add to my collection.
The way the questionnaire is written, it appears primarily focused on one's work or organizational involvement. I had a former client who is a professor, dealing with a difficult work dilemma and sent it on to him.
If one tweaks the language, it could also apply to a challenging interpersonal relationship, in which a client is contemplating courageous action.

We would love to hear from our members.
