June ICFC President’s Letter


ICF Chicago 2016 - 2018: A Coach Approach to Strategic Planning and You
With plans and goals, there can be deliberate, intentional dialogue. It can then be a purposeful coaching conversation.” -- Susan Whitcomb

June launches the development of ICF Chicago’s new three-year strategic plan. It coincides with this month’s ICF Core Competency: Planning and Goal Setting which will serve as a guiding principle for the comprehensive work that will take place. Cheryl Procter-Rogers, President Elect, is leading this initiative.

I ask that we all review the core competency in terms of your work with clients and in the context of evolving ICF Chicago. What coaching questions would you ask of the board, strategic planning committee or our members to move the process forward? You can post them on this blog or email the executive board.

Step 1: Member Survey
This month you will be receiving a link to an online survey seeking your input on your vision for an ICF Chicago that best serves you and your clients.

Completing the survey is key to advancing our organization as your partner and serving our community.

You will hear more about our strategic planning process during the next few months and other ways you may contribute.

Important Dates to Remember

With gratitude,

Murray
