2. Message from Reuel Hunt
President, ICF Colorado
Our Local Coaching Community: connection – contribution – competency – clarity
Welcome to the 2013 Summer! My how quickly summer arrived this year, perhaps a reflection of
just how busy I have been this year. I am hoping you all enjoy your summer downtime as ICF
Colorado also has some renewal, reenergizing and refueling time as we take July and August off
from our member meetings and get ready for our fall lineup.
We kick off our fall on September 12th with Chris Balsley on Stress and October 10th with TC
North on Fearless Coaches – here is a link: http://www.icfcolorado.org/event-list
Our Meet-up Groups – ICF Colorado Coaches Corner – are going very well and will continue to
meet through the summer in Boulder, Ft Collins, Arvada (NW Denver), and Glendale (SE Denver)
– here are links for dates and more info: http://www.meetup.com/ICF-Colorado-Coaches-Corner
and for Ft. Collins: http://www.meetup.com/ICF-CO-Northern-Colorado-Coaches/ We will support
other groups where there is an interest.
We are in the Midwest Region of the North American ICF community, and our regional conference
last month in Minneapolis, MN was a huge success. The regional conference next year will be in
Cleveland, OH – here is a link: http://icf-midwest.com/ . It has been suggested that the regional
conference be in Denver in 2015; we are looking at that. Work is underway for North American
and ICF Global conferences in the not too distant future; we will keep you posted.
Our local Community Outreach Committee, led by Laura Menze, is ramping up for a big event next
year; stay tuned for more information coming soon.
Talks are under way, headed by Judy Sabah and Stephanie Wachman, to create support for ICF
Credentialing, in ICF Colorado. If you are interested in being a part of this, email
Judy@JudySabah.com or swachman@gmail.com
I invite you, as a coach, to join our community, become involved, play with us, join our chapter –
3. ICF-Colorado - http://icfcolorado.org/join-renew-or-subscribe and join the global community - ICF
Global http://www.coachfederation.org/join-icf/, and contribute/volunteer, make a difference, give
back and grow with us.
Wishing you success in your coaching journey,

No Monthly Meeting in July or August; Next Meeting is September 12th
Date: September 12, 2013
Time: 7:00PM to 9:00PM
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) conducted before the general meeting
from 6:00 - 6:50pm.
Location: PPA Event Center, 2105 Decautur St, Denver, CO 80211
Speaker: Chris Balsley
Topic: "Stress Navigation and TRE™"
*CCEUs: TBD
TRE™ exercises are a powerful series of stress relieving exercises that can be learned in an hour
and after being learned, can be practiced in as little as 20 minutes. When executed properly, TRE
™ exercises can decrease the effects of long-term stress while at the same time increasing the
capacity to execute and lead effectively.
These revolutionary stress relieving exercises are the work of David Berceli PhD and have been
taught to hundreds of thousand people over the past twenty years. In addition to being used by
people from every walk of life, they have effectively helped victims of the recent earthquake and
Tsunami in Japan, victims of violence in Beirut, Somalia and Afghanistan as well as members of
US police forces and the US military. There is a 25% to 75% ratio of didactic to experiential
learning. This means participants should wear comfortable clothes and be ready to move.
About Chris Balsley

years of outstanding experience in supporting his clients. Focusing on inspiring professionals to
be the best leaders they can be, especially in the face of adversity, Chris dedicates a large portion
4. of his career to helping individuals and teams increase their performance and shift their moods

EXPERIENCED COACHES SALON
July 17, 2013
7:00PM - 9:00PM
Location: see information below
Facilitated by: Reuel Hunt & Lauren Fisher
5+ Years of Coaching Experience? You’re Invited to Check Us Out!
The next meeting of the Experienced Coaches Salon is July 17th from 7-9pm.
We changed our name from SIG to Salon because we are going to also have an Experienced
Coaches SIG meeting on the regular ICF Colorado Member meetings dates, at 6 pm along with the
other SIG meetings.
We are meeting in July and August at our regular times, even though the general member
meetings won’t be meeting until September.
In our new format, we focus and go deeper on one topic that surfaces during our check-ins, and
we keep our check-ins bottom-lined and time sensitive so we can go deeper on a chosen topic.
Summary from June Meeting:
We began with check-ins all around, including sharing of resources relevant to each person's
check-in. The check-ins led to a discussion on this topic: In an open and deep discussion about
some big system issues that some were not even aware of, we looked at how we can see failures
in our systems and in ourselves and feel helpless sometimes, and we looked at how we can
choose to use gratitude to shift our perspective to allowing, staying present and to focus on what
we have control over and to get support and to get into action around that. We ended on a
optimistic hopeful note around what seems helpless and hopeless sometimes.
NEW Location:
1200 S. Monaco #26 Denver, CO
Phone: 303-777-1765
Please contact Reuel to RSVP and to receive more details about this SIG.
We look forward to seeing you there!

7. ARTICLE: How Are You Using Your Coaching Tool Belt?
by Judy Sabah
Co-Founder of ICF Colorado
It’s been nearly 20 years since I experienced a conference call that changed my life. I was
encouraged to listen and learn about a new profession: coaching. As a result I realized coaching
was something I had been looking for my entire life. I just didn’t know it.
After enrolling with CoachU I had the opportunity and blessing to work directly with Thomas
Leonard who is often referred to as the father of coaching.
During the time I knew him, he said many things that have stuck with me and still today I often
hear something in my head I remember him saying. Two things in particular are guiding lights for
me.

Are You Connected to These Great Discussions?
ICF Colorado extends outside just the monthly meetings. You've heard about the ICF Colorado
Coaches Corner, meeting at various places around metro Denver and Loveland. You're familiar
with all the great resources on the ICF Colorado website.
But you might not be connected with the very valuable ICF Colorado LinkedIn group.
I recently started a discussion which launches off from the presentation we had about Appreciative
Inquiry. I’m asking you to contribute your experiences about what makes a group dynamic and
enthusiastic, and what has engaged you with powerful organizations in the past.

leader in building Community Alliances on behalf of ICF CO, and she is looking to build her
team! While the ultimate goal is to build community, awareness, and connection, the Community

discount on meetings, conferences, or memberships, etc..
Opportunities for ICF-CO members to provide presentations to various organizations and
vice versa.
Developing long-term relationships so that these organizations have an ICF-CO ‘go-to’

might have a say in what would be beneficial for the coaching community.
Getting ICF-CO in the news and creating awareness about coaching and what is available to
people.

etc.

The ICF Colorado Board of Directors
10. Membership in the ICF Colorado
Greetings from the Membership Director of ICF Colorado! I hope all of you consider attending our
next meeting in September. We will be off for a couple of months in July and August. We are
really working on creating a wonderful environment for us all to thrive at the ICF Colorado! I hope
you will remember to invite your friends and family to attend that may benefit from our wonderful
programs. If you know other coaches that are not members, please assist us and ask them to
attend a meeting - the first meeting is FREE by requesting a coupon code!
For our former members who have allowed their memberships to lapse, we invite you to renew
right away and re-commit to being a part of our community of coaches. Our educational
programming has been very powerful over the last year, and we've had some wonderful meetings.
Renewing your membership will also give you the opportunity to renew the friendships you made
while a member.
For those of you who aren't yet members, we invite you to tour our website, check out the past
and upcoming programs, and call if you have questions. We invite you to join our chapter and
become engaged in the work of learning together and creating a strong community.
So why should coaches and prospective coaches want to join ICF Colorado? As a member of ICF
Colorado, they will join a wonderful community of individuals committed to making a difference in
the lives of their clients, connecting with other coaches, developing themselves, and contributing
to the profession of coaching. Our community includes brand new coaches as well as very
experienced and highly successful ones. We also welcome those who are exploring coaching as a
profession and who have not yet started the process of becoming a coach.
There are many benefits to membership in ICF Colorado starting with being able to attend the
monthly meetings at no additional cost. The educational presentations during our meetings are
delivered by highly successful coaches with special expertise and are but one of the resources
available for helping our members develop and refine their coaching skills and build their
businesses. As a member, one has the opportunity to network with other coaches and participate
in one of the Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The SIGs are led by experienced coaches, giving
participants the opportunity to learn and engage in lively discussion. Two of the three SIGs are
held immediately prior to the meeting, and we encourage everyone to check them out. In addition
to the SIGs and monthly educational programming, we also have other programs and events such
as workshops and tele-classes, with reduced rates for members.
When highly experienced coaches, coaches building their practices, and those who are just getting
started join together to support their chosen field, magic happens. So please help us grow our
membership and be part of the magic we can create.
It’s very easy to join on the ICF Colorado website:
