Cynthia Loy Darst, CPCC, ORSCC, MCC

12:00 – 1:00 PM CST

Webinar Cost: No Fee

Participants must view the webinar live in order to receive CCEUs.

This online webinar will be recorded, but you must be registered to access the recording.

Our Tuesday, March 26 Webinar will be facilitated by Cynthia Loy Darst, Co-Active Coach, speaker, author, and co-owner of Team Darst.

We all know the frustration of trying to make a change in our lives, only to find our good intentions derailed along the way. While some obstacles may be external, most of what gets in the way comes from inside—from the differing positions and opinions of the “Players on your Inside Team.” By discovering who is on this team and how the game is played we can gain new awareness and return to conscious choice and aligned action.

CCEUS for this webinar: 0.5 Core Competencies / 0.5 Resource Development

Full Webinar description and registration link coming soon.

International Coaching Week 2019 Events

During International Coaching Week 2019 (April 29 – May 5, 2019), ICF will invite individuals and organizations from around the world to “Experience Coaching.”

During ICW 2019, ICF North Texas will be partnering with the North Texas Food Bank to provide pro bono coaching to their team members. There will be several opportunities for our members to participate, support this valuable not for profit in our community and gain some coaching hours in the process.

Susan Daniel, Director of Alliances, is leading this effort, and she has shared a few important ways you can participate.

Volunteer to Support Planning

Contact Susan at Alliances@icf-nt.com if you’d like to be involved in the design of this initiative. There are roles that anyone can play—no matter your knowledge of the North Texas Food Bank or your number of years of coaching experience.

Save these Dates:

March 2019: More information is coming via social media and email about ways you can be involved in ICW 2019.

May 14, 2019: Staff Development Workshop with North Texas Food Bank. Four ICF-NT members are needed to help design this workshop to share coaching skills with the leaders of the North Texas Food Bank.

News from ICF Global

ICF Global Membership
Renew Now Through March 31

One requirement of full membership in the ICF North Texas Chapter is that you’re also in good standing with the ICF Global organization. It is often misunderstood that a membership in ICF North Texas includes a membership in ICF Global and it does not. These are two separate memberships, each with unique benefits to you—the coach and member.

January 29 was the beginning of the renewal season for all ICF Global memberships. If you are a member of ICF Global, your membership expires on March 31, 2019. All memberships now expire on the same date each year and that is March 31.

You will receive emails about the renewal process but if you want to get a jump on it, you can renew at https://coachfederation.org/renew-membership.

Information on the benefits of membership can be found on the respective websites for ICF North Texas and ICF Global.

For questions, contact memberships@icf-nt.com.
