I look forward to every Wednesday afternoon.  This is a time for me – for me to focus on my own professional learning through advanced training with Susan Whitcomb’s Career Coach Academy.  Several years ago I completed my original certification (CCMC) with the Academy and now I’m back for the “refresh & renew” four month course.  And I’m enjoying it so much more now!

Adding Value to My Clients

Each week I learn something new that I can bring immediately to my coaching clients.  I’m refreshing my treasure chest of career coaching tools, strategies and techniques which greatly adds to the value I bring my clients. And since I’ve had my coaching business for almost ten years now, I have a wealth of experience that I can draw on as well.  I’m staying on the cutting edge so my clients can stay on the cutting edge. 

Gives Me a Lift

On-going learning has always been a key part of growing my coaching business.  Although continuing education credits (CEUs) are required for my various certifications that’s not why I make learning a priority.  I’ve always attended professional conferences, courses & workshops and networking events because I get a wonderful psychological boost from the energy of ideas in the room.  But it is a significant financial investment . . .  is it worth it?  Yes!  Learning is like the icing on the cake.  Don’t miss the opportunity to be enriched and to enrich others by making these investments.
