In-Between choice thoughts
While preparing for the coming issue about relationships, I couldn’t help but think of the impact of relationships related to the success of choice, the magazine of professional coaching.
Without relationships with the team who brilliantly create choice, the writers who espouse their wisdom within the covers, the companies who reach out through the various avenues of sponsorship – and of course you, our readers, who enjoy and learn from choice – we would not exist.
As David Steele so brilliantly says in his article in this issue, “A relationship is a process, not an event…” We at choice have been developing relationships for almost 10 years.
Our latest and greatest relationships are with our Premium Partners. To call them ‘advertisers’ would be an understatement. We, of course, value all of our advertisers at choice. However, Premium Partners are those who have made a full-year commitment to choice for advertising across multiple platforms. These Premium Partners receive more exposure, not only from their increased advertising presence with choice, but also through editorial, Expert Series and Multi-Media opportunities.
These are companies and people who have a global vision, who strongly support the coaching industry, and who are committed to seeing our profession grow and thrive. Through their relationship with choice, these Premium Partners reach our 15,000 plus member community with their message and services.
Our Premium Partners for 2012 are:
Another recent relationship we have developed is with Kelly Williams, virtual assistant. Kelly is a great support for our outbound communications and customer service. She can be reached at support@virtualkellygroup.com

We at choice continue to look at how we can improve all of our relationships in order to be of service to our community and our profession.
I welcome you to enjoy this issue of choice, the magazine of professional coaching, while taking a look at your own relationships to see how you can improve each of your relationships and those of your clients to be the best they can be.

September 2012 (v10N3) Corporate Issue - Mentoring Supervision
With each milestone of client experience, professional coaches are faced with a question. What is next in my professional development that increases excellence and client value? Being a generative learner, expanding coaching skills acumen, stretching into more artistry and finesse, heightening awareness about traps in client relationships that compromise trust and effectiveness, clarifying ethical complexities in organizational relationships: these are all elements that are central to increasing effective, competent, ethical conduct as a professional coach. In addition to further development, on-going maintenance and attention to the well-being of the coach benefits even the most advanced coaches. Two modalities have emerged in our profession by which coaches may invest in professional development and answer the question about excellence and value; Coaching Supervision and Mentor Coaching. This issue will explore the ways to optimize professional excellence and client quality through Coaching Supervision and Mentor Coaching as well as share best practices for each modality, tips for hiring a suitable practitioner and ways to access training and become competent to offer the services of either a Coach Supervisor or Mentor Coach.

December 2012 (v10N4) NLP vs. Coaching
Both Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Coaching have become recognized as modalities of choice for creating transformational changes but it can be difficult to blend the two without feeling like you are doing a 'technique.' New coaching schools are emerging with coaching protocols that focus on seamlessly blending the best of both. The result is a new generation of coaches who have the skills and confidence to facilitate courageous and life changing conversations. Many people trained in NLP are becoming coaches and coaching is one of the most focused ways to use NLP skills. Can NLP help clients shift faster? How can the strengths of NLP be best used in coaching? Are all NLP techniques appropriate for coaching? Is there a place for trance in coaching? This issue will explore these questions and more.

March 2013 (v11N1) Coaching and Performance
Coaching is a powerful tool for developing leadership and employee performance beyond the typical skill and motivational approaches to professional development. Embedded in the process of on going communication and relationship building it delivers practical, common sense approaches to developing people and services, and is a powerful way of creating excellent results. Most importantly it places people at the top of the agenda in action not just in word and is an essential management style of the high performing company culture of the future. What are the tools needed to develop and increase employee performance?
