Dear friends

A mellow summer is coming to a close.  I hope that you have had the opportunity to get well rested and resourced.  We have just returned home from an extraordinary business and leisure trip to Mexico.  A beautiful country and very deep and complex culture! We had previously spent two family weeks in Ibiza to baptise our grandson Raphael and enjoy excellent company.  All in all, it was a rather Hispanic summer that may be offering very exciting future Latin American  perspectives. 

 

In June and July, I have also published two new English books on Kindle :
•    A new text on Systemic team and Organizational Coaching": Clic Here to consult it.
•    An English version of the French « l’art véritable du maître coach » titled "Masterful Systemic Coaching": Clic Here to consult it.
To order the original French book at InterEditions, clic Here

These two books are currently being translated into Spanish to be also published on KINDLE shortly.  Don't hesitate to tell your network about all of these, and thank you again for your unfledging support !

Note that all these training programs are extremely practical.  They are all delivered in English, in a systemic frame of reference, and are all ACSTH validated by the International Coach Federation. They are all focused on acquiring and developing the eleven ICF core competencies, and in this perspertive, all provide validated coach training hours that can also count for ICF coach certification renewals.

And if you are going to Malmö in Sweden for the ICF Coaching Conference, see you there this September !!

My health program

An unexpected and more personal underlying theme has been motivating me since the begining of 2014.  It concerns my physical shape.  Almost accidentally in January, I signed up to attend a workout  space. not too far from our Paris appartment.  Pumping iron on a regular basis and a few home exercises have slowly redistributed my body weight and transformed some of my fat into muscle.  With Geanina, we also go on regular 20 to 25 kilometer walks on the green Paris highline or "coulée verte", to the Bois de Vincennes, and sometimes along the Seine River.   

I have also changed some of my eating habits, eating lighter meals, copious breakfasts but transparent brews in the evening.  We mostly eat bio foods, and I occasionally go on daylong purifying fasts.  As a result, my body is slowly transforming itself. 

Not too surprizingly, these changes also have an influence on my state of mind, my spirits, my rhythms, my thoughts and my emotions.  I feel lighter, more agile, more alert, more at peace.  I have never been a big consumer, but my buying needs have reduced, are more thought out and maybe more mature.  In short, I seem to savour more with much less.  All this seems to contribute to my minimalist coaching approach and to the quality of my personal and professional presence.

So that's all my news for now.  I hope it will help to develop our connection, maybe provoke an e-mail, meeting or call in the coming months.  And don't hesitate to foward this newsletter to chosen members of your networks. 

To conclude, I wish you an excellent Fall season year end with all the success and pleasure you can handle.

Sincerely

Alain
