August Chapter Meeting: Amplifying Your Coaching Impact Through Arts-Based Experiential Learning
 
On Tuesday, August 11 from 6:30pm–8:00pm PT, join presenter Harvey Seifter for our August Chapter Meeting, “Amplifying Your Coaching Impact Through Arts-Based Experiential Learning.” This program will immerse you in an arts-based experiential learning activity and introduce you to the concepts, research and impact of arts-based experiential learning as a coaching methodology. Register here.
 
 
August Lunch & Learn: 3 Steps to Fill Your Programs with One Signature Talk
 
Our August Lunch & Learn, “3 Steps to Fill Your Programs with One Signature Talk” with presenter Krista Martin, PCC, will be held Wednesday, August 19 from 12:00pm–1:00pm PT. Many coaches speak, but few know how to inspire their audience to take action. They end up over educating and not activating their audience. Does that sound familiar? This happens because they're missing a proven process for turning each talk into clients. Register here.
 
 
August Coach Business Builder: From Invisible to Influential – Building a Brand That Matches Your Impact
 
On Wednesday, August 5 from 12:00pm–1:00pm PT, join presenter Calvina Nguyen for our Coach Business Builder workshop “From Invisible to Influential: Building a Brand That Matches Your Impact.” In this session, you'll discover the positioning and messaging strategies that create authentic brand clarity, then learn how visuals tie it all together. You'll understand how to make potential clients immediately recognize you as the expert they've been looking for, without feeling salesy or inauthentic. Register here.

Join your fellow ICF Sacramento coaches for our Savoring Summer Social on Saturday, August 22 from 11:00am–1:00pm at beautiful Heringer Estates Family Vineyards in Clarksburg.

A Deeper Look at the ICF Core Competencies
 
Our next Core Competency Series meeting is Thursday, August 27 from 6:00pm–7:00pm PT. Join speaker Carmen Perry, PCC, CPC monthly through October, with each month focusing on a different ICF Core Competency.
