In-Between choice thoughts
I was honored to be asked to write our choice website message for this quarter, while Garry is out there networking, listening, and connecting with our community.
Some of you may know me as the choice Customer Service Manager. The person you talk to when you need assistance with your subscription, article research or back issue ordering.
And I because I am also a coach, I love talking to you!
During these conversations we often get around to discussing the challenges you face as a coach.
While some of you are building your businesses one conversation at a time, others are immersed in understanding and utilizing social media and internet-based marketing tools. Continuing education is always on your minds, as you keep up with the ever changing landscape being carved out by thought leaders and educators.
Understanding the impact of neuroscience and psychology are high on your lists as was proven by the overwhelming success of our September Neuroscience: Coaching and the Brain and December Positive Psychology issues last year.
In our June issue, we explore the differences and similarities between Coaching and Consulting.
Who does what and how?
How does, and should, consulting work with coaching?
You will find some answers as we compare and contrast these two different and yet complementary professions.
We also created two special digital issues in PDF format.
One is a compilation of all of Dr. Patrick Williams' Psychology Alliance articles, exploring the psychological underpinnings of coaching.
The other is a compilation of our popular Sticky Situations columns, which address how to handle some often uncomfortable situations that arise during coaching.
Both are available on our website here.
We recently completed our 2010 Annual choice Readers Survey.
Your thoughts and comments have been insightful and most helpful in helping us understand and meet your needs.
After all, choice is about supporting you in your growth!
We have been working with our writers from The Coaches' Toolbox issue, and others who specialize in business building, and we are planning to bring you a new series of choice multi-media teleclasses focused on business-building tools and methodologies.
If growing your coaching practice is on your mind, watch for an invitation in the coming weeks, and be sure to register for this series.
You can visit www.morefromchoice.com for updates on all of our multi-media teleclasses.
We've jumped head-on into the world of social media ourselves and we invite you to connect with us on the network of your choice and join in the conversations taking place:
 
We have added Facebook chat to our multi-media telecalls.
It's added a whole new dimension to our calls as it enables us to interact even more.
And we are having FUN with it!
Finally, a note from our editor to all of you inspired writers out there. We are working on getting a few issues ahead so take a look at the coming issues and get those articles flowing!
As always, we accept articles for consideration that follow the writers' guidelines on our site. We also consider articles for non-theme-specific topics of interest. We will contact you if your article is chosen for publication.
Remember, every profession has a magazine and choice is yours!
I'm looking forward to our future chats.
