Just back from our road trip with these spectacular friends/coaches. We spoke at the Washington State Medical Association and I think there’s a possibility we dazzled them. Love you guys. Rumeena Gujral Bhalla Souter Spruance Ann Humes

Congratulations to our own McNamara (Cohort #46) who has just added ACC behind her name. Her comment inspires me: "Studying for this exam has really shown me how much I have grown and how I can continue to grow into an even better coach."
Lead on Liz!

Hey SeattleCoaches! Please join me in congratulating a few of our own--new certified coaches: Diane Moffett, ACC, Carlos Pellegrini, PCC and as of today, Jennifer Samreny, ACC. And Jennifer has words of wisdom for you graduates who will soon take the final exam:
A few notes since the exam is fresh in my mind (and in case it helps others):
• The revised test is really challenging. Even with all of my studying, I only got a 506 out of 600 (passing is 460 and above.) Please let me know if you or anyone else wants to see my study regime, (it was rigorous)
• No study materials can be brought into the room, (I feel like the old test was maybe open book?)
• About 1/3 of the questions were around when to get therapeutic support for the client. I think that the ICF might be over indexing here due to some legal challenges.
• A number of the questions were around not just setting agreements but what goes into the contract and WHY.
• At least 5 of the sample 10 questions on the ICF site were on the test, (so people should do these and make sure they know the answers.)

Well done all!
