We had a great experience at the ICF Midwest Conference and returned feeling energized and connected! This coaching conference was PACKED with learning and inspiration plus I got to meet people I had known only "virtually" before – pictured above is Danielle Cornenchuk and myself. I learned about some awesome
resources while engaging with all the other vendors and of course my good friend Garry from choice magazine was there (in the third picture above). It just so happened that Belle Star had a booth next to us and she takes "aura" pictures. She did a couples aura picture for Rick and I – pretty cool! And of course, being in Kansas City we had to try some Kansas City BBQ!
Conferences are such a great place to get inspired and current in your profession and to gather fuel for your passion. If you aren't able to attend a conference like this, consider creating your own "mini conference" experience.
Learning on your own, at home and at your own pace will help keep you sharp and engaged. To make it a "mini conference" experience consider inviting a couple of colleagues to join you. You each pick something cool to learn and then meet for dinner to share – voila – a mini conference experience! If you have attended a conference you know that dining out with colleagues is one of the best parts of the experience.
Here are three suggestions for learning
1. Marlena Field's
Embodied Resources – This is a great program on using the body and mindfulness in coaching.
3.
Easily Wired Combo – this is a great tool to learn best practices and strategies for networking for business growth and to advance within an organization..
What are some of your favorite learning products and programs?

Have you been listening to any of the
WBECS speakers? One of my favorites was Jamie Wheal from the Flow Genome Project. He spoke about "FLOW" and it sparked my curiosity so much, I went in search of more.
I found a great YouTube video featuring Jamie Wheal and Steven Kotler giving a talk at Google called "The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance"
The video shares the science of flow and how to apply it. They acknowledge that Creativity is in great demand today and it's hard to "teach" people to be creative. The exciting thing is that flow states seem to teach creativity. Flow states also greatly increase happiness. Jamie and Steven say that "In flow, motivation and creativity skyrockets". This has huge potential in the workplace and in just about any activity. Carve out some time and check it out.
And by the way, WBECS – World Business and Executive Coaching Summit is still going on. The speakers have been phenomenal (all free) Check it out here:
