Dreams

The last video message from Tony Robbins was about Sly Stallone and his dream to become an actor, how easy was for him to have this dream and what was the importance of not giving up.

Without pretending that my dream is similar, I choose to share it with you, five years ago while working with Steve Mitten MCC, I was challenged about my dream on coaching and development of this new profession in Romania.

The early days looked similar with ICF global story, I traveled to Timisoara and participated in a discussion with potential team members for ICF Romania, the resistance and skepticism I found made me wonder if this is a good idea. After all many new things started there, however in the coaching case we were asked what is the benefit of participating in this common project.

I did not take this personally, somehow two persons were open to support my dream so in August 2006 we opened the local chapter. The years after we grew up as a chapter slowly and many times I wondered if all the obstacles are part of this journey. Now I know and I want to acknowledge the effort of the active members and the accredited ones because they honour their commitment to themselves and coaching profession.

I also want to thank Alain Cardon,MCC, who develops coaches according to the ICF 11 competencies, also Gerard O’Donovan who kindly accepted our invitation last year in our first conference.

We celebrate the 15 years of ICF global by launching the 2nd conference and we benefit from 3 fantastic speakers, join us in our dreams, come with yours and let us see the resonance.
