Message from the President
Dear HKICC Friends,
We had a great AGM on April 23d, and I'd really like to thank those of you who came and supported me in taking on my new position as President of HKICC.
Charlie Lang has done a great job over the last two years, and has increased the membership and moved the community forward. He has passed onto me a very healthy community, both financially and spiritually.
During the special meeting held just before the AGM on the 23rd of April, I had the opportunity to learn the needs of our diverse community. We discovered where our resources are most required, and in what areas we are still falling short of meeting the needs of the community.

The key is to link networking with marketing and sales activities to form a robust business development plan that is easy to implement while billing time.

This document highlights the key issues you should consider prior to compiling your own plan and will hopefully guide you logically through a proven framework.
The key word is 'Strategy', because you are creating a workable and achievable set of objectives in order to exceed your annual target.

Dear Readers,
Please join me and offer congratulations to our new President, Anita Moorjani, and all those who stepped up and offered to be on her management team. May it be a fun and expansive year! We love your energy, Anita!
Our coach training programs teach us how to coach. How many teach us what to do after we graduate - how to get clients and create a successful and exciting coaching practise? If you are at the beginning stage of creating your practise, or stuck in getting the number of clients you want, I hope that you'll find this month's articles to be supportive. My top tip to get and keep clients is - network from a giver's mindset!
