Dear Co-Active Coaches, In the past few months, we've told you about the expansion of Co-Active Coaching into Australia and introduced you to our team at CTI-UK. This month we'd like to introduce the new management team of CTI-Japan. Over the next months, we'll continue to share with you how Co-Activity is spreading throughout the world. Also in this issue, read about the recent Association of Coach Training Organizations (ACTO) Schools' Conference, many events happening in our community, and join us in celebrating our new CPCCs. |

CTI-Japan Takeshi Shimamura is the new president of CTI-Japan and Fumiko Takagi has taken on the role of business operation manager. Please join us in welcoming them to the CTI community and wishing them great success. Takeshi joined CTI-Japan as president in April 2004. Before coming to CTI-Japan, he was the general manager of the Research & Consulting Division in the Japan Research Institute, Ltd. There, he significantly contributed to the dramatic growth in the division, practicing a way of management that respects each employee's vision. Prior to joining JRI, he worked for the Sumitomo Bank. Since the first Japanese language book about Co-Active Coaching, written by former CTI-Japan President Hidetake Enomoto, was published in Japan, the Co-Active Coaching spirit that helps people develop themselves and do good for others with respect for one another, has moved Takeshi to action. Illuminating the concept of Co-Active Coaching spirit in the society, he continues to strive to realize a society in which everyone can keep thriving, living vigorously with respect for one another, and expressing appreciation to each other. He received his CPCC certificate in 2003, and finished the Co-Active Leadership program (Misogi) in 2004. Takeshi completed his BA in sociology at Tsukuba University in 1985. He has two sons and one daughter. Fumiko joined CTI-Japan in April 2004. Prior to joining CTI, she worked as office manager for an IT company in Tokyo from 2001–2003, and was with an American securities firm from 1986–1999. She is now enjoying working in Tokyo, smelling Co-Active spirits in the air. ACTO At the end of May, 10 of the major coaching schools and two members of the ICF board came together for a two-day ACTO Schools Conference. Sabrina Roblin, school director, represented CTI at this conference and shares her experience: It was a very inspiring, collaborative and productive two days, discussing next steps for the evolution of the coaching industry. The metaphor for the conference was that if we as a group raise the water, then all boats will rise with it. Included in our discussion was how to better support the success of coaches in their first year or two of business and how to raise public awareness of the profession as a whole. A couple of things that were very clear from the meeting were the passion and commitment of every member of the conference, as well as the importance of the ICF and its role in the industry. We discussed trends we're seeing in the industry, including the demand for coaches and coach training in organizations, which could increase the demand for credentialed coaches over the next year or two, as well as coaches specializing in specific niches. We also discussed the great work being done in the regulatory environment to keep the distinctions between coaching and therapy and to proactively create legislation to protect coaching. Research was another topic of discussion. Research is being done to further build the credibility of coaching, and more is on the way. If you or anyone you know is involved in evidence-based research about coaching, please contact the ICF and let them know. If you haven't yet joined the ICF, please do so. Get involved in one of its committees, and help that water to rise! As was stated by Carol Courcy at the ACTO conference, "We are on the path of mastery as a profession, and it's the collective that creates the mastery, not the individual."

Co-Active Network Main Event Join Karen Kimsey-House as she explores this much-talked-about way of being. BodyMindSpirit Alliance Every client is whole and creative and resourceful. Why?

Always available and accessible, the body is a super-efficient communication device for intuition. |
