2009 has been an amazing year!
One of the best things that had happened is my entry into blogosphere, something I have always wanted but never got it up and running! It is a great avenue for me to share stories that have coaching elements and principles to benefit blog readers and coach aspirants. I hope you have been enjoying my coaching journeys through this blog.
My promise is that next year, my blog will get even better!
Another achievement that I am particularly proud of is the attainment of the ACTP (Accredited Coach Training Program) status for the coach-learning programs from Corporate Coach Academy (CCA), (www.corporate-coachacademy.com) conferred by the International Coach Federation (ICF), the world’s most respected coaching body. This is the first and only one in Malaysia, and among the few in Asia. Graduates from our ICF-ACTP programs have been trained and certified to be global coaches with high level of coaching competency and experiential exposure.
The pinnacle of my feelings of satisfaction and exuberance in spite of the challenging economic climate is the rate at which coaching is propagating in Malaysia, Asia and beyond. Organizations, business owners and even individuals are beginning to recognize the value and benefits of quality coaching from certified coaches like ours. Indeed, I predict that coaching as an intervention tool will growth in exponential leaps in the coming year. Let’s watch the trends together!
This year also saw us launching our Teleclasses for our international students. We are proud to have coach students from far-away Slovakia and Beijing, as well as from the other states of Malaysia. This new way of course delivery using the Internet and Skype for free PC-to-PC calls breaks the Pandora Box of face to face workshop with its borderless, limitless access for international students to be certified by CCA. Indeed, with increased traffic volume visiting our websites, we have had enquiries from prospective coach-students from as far as UK, US, Lebanon, Hong Kong, Japan, India, just to name a few.
It has been a truly satisfying year! There were many other first-ever, new and innovative initiatives which I will share in my future blogs. Do keep on reading my blogs and share them with your friends and family.
