President’s Message
|
|
|
The Spring Equinox can represent a time of renewal, growth, and change. Many people see it as an opportunity to set new goals, create positive habits, and shed old patterns that no longer serve them. What are you weeding out and where are you cultivating growth? May you all embrace the changes that come with the shifting seasons and to use this time as an opportunity for growth and renewal.

Women’s History Month
|
While Canada observes Women’s History Month in October, other countries observe it in March to correspond with International Women's Day on March 8th.
Canadian women like Agnes Macphail, the first woman elected to the House of Commons, and Viola Desmond, who challenged racial segregation in Nova Scotia, have fought for equality and justice in our country. Today, Canadian women continue to excel in all fields, from science and technology to politics and business, thanks to the trailblazers who came before them.

This year, we celebrate the theme of "She Did. So Now I Can" by acknowledging the ground-breaking accomplishments of Canadian women who have paved the way for future generations.
We would love to read your stories on our Linkedin WHM post. Sharing stories are powerful, and we look forward to reading yours.

ICF Global News
New Strategic Plan
“Our new strategic plan is a living (and evolving) expression of both the emerging spirit of One ICF and our vision of ‘a world where coaching is integral to transforming societies,’” says 2023 ICF Global Board Chair Dumisani Magadlela. “Our strategic plan also speaks to our values, especially those of Collaboration and Humanity. It is all our responsibility to familiarize with all details of the strategic plan and work together to breathe more life and energy into its implementation.”
The plan demonstrates the unity of the One ICF ecosystem, and our goals will help move ICF, coaching, and society forward. With this in mind, the strategic focus areas were developed to address three larger themes:
-
Member-Focused: To ensure we continue serving our members the best we can — for today as well as tomorrow.
-
Organizational: To manage and evolve ICF and the One ICF ecosystem responsibly and sustainably.
-
Empowerment: To enable human and societal development through coaching, of which all parts of ICF will play an integral role in accomplishing.
The ICF Strategic Plan was approved by the ICF Global Board of Directors in December 2022. It will guide us for the next three to five years.
