ICF Georgia November Webinar
Mini Habits: A Small Tool for Big Success
Speaker: James Garrett
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 • 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST
Habits are our brain's go-to tool to tackle almost any goal or task, which is why helping your clients get in the driver's seat of their habit-making machinery can be a game-changer. You will walk away with everything you need to help your clients know how to start making measurable change. Just like learning how to play the piano, learning how to form positive habits is a skill set.
_____________________

Participants will discover:
• Why the key to knocking out habits is building them sequentially, not simultaneously.
• How to use proven methods such as habit stacking and habit tracking to make or break any habit.
• Why keeping your client motivated is easy with one small tweak.
• How motivation often follows action, rather than preceding it.
• How making 'smallifying‘ habits can be the game-changer you and your coaching clients have been looking for!

Pre-work for Group Coaching Supervision:
Please come prepared to present to the group a coaching case or theme(s) from your coaching practice that you are curious about, have questions around, or may be struggling with. Reflect on how this coaching situation is impacting you and your relationship with your coaching client, and also how the system in which the client works might be impacting the coaching engagement.

ICF GA November SE Regional Webinar
How to Help Your Client Find Inner Strength with the 'Who Am I Story'
Speaker: Annette Simmons, M.Ed.
Thursday, November 12, 2020 • 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm EST
Some of the current approaches to storytelling suggests templates, arcs, and other frameworks that may be technically accurate, but only distract clients from diving deep. How can you support your clients through the emotional process of discovering meaningful stories that remind them of their integrity, ground them in their best self and help them find a stable center to weather these unprecedented levels of uncertainty? Learn a simple process for finding Who I Am stories with clients.
There will also be a live demonstration, where attendees can witness the process, as Annette will coach a volunteer to find their own new story.

You will learn more about several critical elements for coaching through storytelling:
• Creating a safe place.
• Four buckets full of stories.
• The power of showing faith in both client and process.
• Eliciting sensory information to keep it experiential.
• Responding with heartfelt appreciations.

October Member Spotlight

Judy Kruger, ACC
Judy Kruger and Associates
404.386.3029
Describe your business. I specialize in health and wellness coaching and help individuals design plans to achieve success in alignment with their personal values. Having published approximately 50 articles in the area of obesity prevention, weight control management, promotion of physical activity, and smoking cessation, I encourage individuals to build and develop resiliency.
Who is your ideal client? My area of focus is to help individuals sustain lifestyle behavioral changes. I have a passion for serving others and love to help individuals articulate goals and explore creative solutions to overcoming obstacles or fears standing in the way of making a lifestyle change. I encourage individuals to do a relaxing activity (yoga, mindfulness meditation, deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation), every day to help de-stress and maintain a psychological equilibrium.
Why are you a member of ICF Georgia? I’m passionate about continuous learning and value the transformational process coaching can bring. ICF Georgia is a great resource that reinforces ethical and professional standards and provides an opportunity to get support from other coaches, especially during the pandemic, when it is easy to feel overwhelmed with worry and fear.
