ICF-ACC COACHING SKILLS TRAINING




Last January 11-16 2009, twenty two PSI Graduates came to PSI Seminar Room at Unit 604 Metropolitan Terraces, Metropolitan Avenue, Makati to attend the ICF - ACC (International Coach Federation - Associate Certified Coach) Coaching Skills Accreditation Training.

The Training was facilitated by Peter Hawe, who is highly experienced, and accredited coach trainer. He is a graduate of Coach University and an American Management Association Trainer who operates a successful global coaching practice. This face to face training is aligned with the portfolio accreditation requirements of the International Coach Federation, one of the many reasons why most PSI graduates who are in different training fields did not pass up this rare opportunity.

After six days however, not only do we get the 60 hours training that ICF requires, we also learned from each other, as Peter masterfully facilitated the whole class, coming half the time from his vast practical experience.

The soon to be ICF-ACC Coaches are: Alice Serna; Aries Tapay; Bjorn Martinoff; Cherry Ri; Dindin Mangasin; Edwin Ebreo; Gerry Sy; Greg Forbes; Jane Alexandra Mata; Jerry Perez de Tagle; Jolinne Pamatmat; Marilyn Abella; Marvin Macatol; Miriam Quiambao; Nel Herrera; Nino Tchoi; Raju Mandhyan; Ritchie Chan; Santi Umali; Scott Dowd; Vicki Martinoff and Yam Gruet.

Here’s some testimonials from the participants:

“Peter is a Master…” - Scott Dowd of RPM Teleconnect

“Loved the 6 days! It was worth the time investment! Personal transformation was reenergized!” – Jerry Perez de Tagle, President, IL International

“He was excellent” (Peter Hawe) – Raju Mandhyan, Chief, Inner Sun Consultant

“The program was informative and effective in enhancing our skills” – Miriam Quiambao, TV Personality

“It is an excellent program. I love every bit of it” – Ed Ebreo, HR Consultant

“Great, professional, master – can’t have it any better” – Marvin Macatol, PSI Board

“I’ll definitely endorse this to my friends…” Vicki Martinoff, coach

“It was well facilitated, It allowed room for people to exchange ideas” – Ritchie Chan, businessman

Of course, the whole training would not be possible without the efforts of Mr. Sonny Vicente, who was the first among the PSI grad who underwent the training, and the invaluable support of the PSI Management and staff.

With the success of Batch 1, we definitely look forward to another batch.
