Exceptional Mentor Coach - Jerry Wistrom
Today I attended the monthly meeting of ICF-Connecticut chapter. ICF is the International Coaching Federation which is the foremost governing body of Professional Coaches. Today's meeting was a panel discussion with some of the most experienced and leading professional personal and business coaches in Connecticut.
The panel answered questions and gave honest advice and feedback on many aspects of the business side of professional coaches. Five coaches served on today's panel.
I thoroughly enjoyed today's panel discussion, and met other interesting people who are Professional Coaches. The authenticity and of coaches and the fact that successful coaches are living out "Who I am" versus "Doing what I do" is unstoppably attractive. If you have not yet worked with a coach who is working from the abundance of "Who I am", then you owe it to yourself to take up the opportunity when you get a chance. Listening to the panel answer questions helps me to understand work/life balance.
On a side note, as a presenter, I was grateful to enjoy a live panel discussion today, and not a boring PowerPointless presentation. I have come to cringe at the thought of being invited to meetings and watch the presenter begin his "Death by PowerPoint" routine. Fortunately, the stars aligned for me this morning, and my horoscope excluded PowerPointless presentations for me today :)

An exceptional Mentor Coach - Jerry Wistrom
Jerry has been there, done that. As a coach focusing on helping small business owners achieve remarkable results, and serving the coaching profession as mentor coach and at national level of the ICF, he has the experience. Jerry answered questions about accreditation and what it takes to get to ACC, PCC and MCC. The ultimate compliments were paid as successful coaches in the audience greeted Jerry warmly and shared testimonials relating the exceptional impacts of Jerry's coaching on their own careers. Jerry is the best of the best, and as we say in South Africa, "What a nice guy!!"I thoroughly enjoyed today's panel discussion, and met other interesting people who are Professional Coaches.
