MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear friends and fellow coaches,
Over the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of speaking to
many coaches, both inside and outside our organization, and what
has become crystal clear to me is that many of them have no idea
of the value of our monthly meetings at the NWCA.
That started me thinking: If some of our members
and supporters are unaware of the many advantages
to membership in the NWCA, especially in our monthly
meetings, then we've got a little bit of a
communication problem.
This monthly newsletter was created to keep our
members and friends updated about the NWCA, and
by golly, that's exactly what we think we're doing.
But if we're not giving you the information you need,
please do let us know!
One piece of information that I think is vitally
important for you to know is the format of our
monthly meetings. Before our meetings even start,
we offer a practice-building workshop from 5:30-6:30
p.m. There is no admission charge for the pre-
meeting workshop, and if you're a newer coach, or
just looking for tips to build your practice, you'll
want to plan to attend these all year long.
The main meeting starts 7, after informal networking
from 6:30-7 p.m. We introduce the NWCA leadership
team, make announcements, and then invite
everyone at the meeting to introduce themselves to
the group. By 7:30, we're ready for our main
speaker, who presents information of interest to
working coaches, often on new coaching models and
tools.
At 8:30, we have open discussion for the last half
hour. We first tried this in November, and it went so
well that we decided to do it again on a regular
basis, and this month we're getting it back on the
agenda.
You're invited to join us on the second Tuesday of
every month this year to meet and mingle with your
fellow coaches, make contacts, and learn something
that may help your practice. Hope to see YOU there
this month!
Warmly,
Ronnie

MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I know our last meeting fell on Valentine's Day, but I
must say if you were not able to attend you missed a
great experience. Our attendance was normal and
those attending were able to welcome several new
members.
If you came early, Karl Heckman at the pre-meeting
gave some wonderful insights to increase your
business. His practical and useful tips on "The ORDER
Interview Guide" were "right on". Wouldn't all of us
like to increase our knowledge about how to ask for
and gain more new clients. I have a lot of experience
and a very successful practice but the next day was
able to use one tip I picked up from Karl's
presentation to get my client past an emotional
hurdle.
The main meeting presentation by Stacey Lane and
Nancy Grant was equally interesting (even if you are
a man) about the challenges women face in
acheiving higher income. Titled - Overcoming
Underearning and steps to becoming a high earner.
What do six-figure women know that you don't? The
presentation was based on the work of best selling
author Barbara Stanny and these questions were
answered. Make you plans now to attend the March
meeting.
Best regards,
Dave Wagers

"There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get
what you want, and after that, to enjoy it. Only the
wisest of mankind (and coaches) achieve the
second." Logan Pearsall Smith.
Sometimes we feel the Membership Team is still
struggling to "enjoy" a smooth registration
experience, and that "registration wisdom" has
eluded us. At our Valentine's Day meeting, we are so
grateful for the "step-in-and help" contribution of
Carolyn Newman at the computer for registration and
Christine Smith at the reg table. To the new
members, we extend a particular thanks for your
patience and understanding. Christine and I think we
definitely could use one more full time Membership
Team Volunteer. It's a fun opportunity to meet the
entire membership and make those personal
connections that sooner or later pay enormous
dividends in our coaching profession. Really, it's
not a job, it's an investment!
As our coaching profession moves from TREND TO
NEW DISCIPLINE, please consider making the
commitment this year to personally attend a few
more monthly meetings and thereby re-connect with
the roots of our local identity as coaches: NWCA. We
need your insights and experience. New coaches
need to feel and experience your confidence and
your story, which at one time, you inherited some
other coach, in getting your career off to a solid
start. Perhaps you even made some mistakes that
you would care to share. Just think for a moment of
the many many people and organizations out there
who could use new energy, new productivity, new
enjoyment if only they had a little more help in
reconfiguring the scrabble pieces of their lives. What
a gift to give and to receive! So please make a
difference! Come join us March 14th. And yes, come
early for the intimate pre-session at 5:30 and
get connected.
If any of the membership has a wish, a suggestion or
a wise thought to share and we on the Membership
Team could help, please email us:

Christine Smith: design-creations@verizon.net
Most sincerely,
