The IFBA Insights
February 2021
 
 
Hello ~Contact.FirstName~,

Welcome to the February IFBA Insights newsletter.

With the roadmap established and doors set to reopen in a matter of weeks, it's full steam ahead to hit the ground running.

From professional development to get you in prime fighting shape, to guidance on reopening strategy, this month's newsletter is all about hope and the future. The next few months aren't going to be the easiest, but with the right planning and the support of the collective, there's a real opportunity to pull ahead.
 
 
The Foundations in Coaching Practice Course
We're excited to announce that our new and improved FICP course is now live. This intensive six-week course is a detailed introduction to developing outstanding coaching methods. It's the first stage in the new IFBA Development Pathway and has had a complete overhaul since last year – we're looking forward to getting your feedback.

We're offering the Insights Community 50% off the course price for the duration of March, after which time the discount drops down to the standard 25% off. This discount will be automatically applied at point of purchase.

We have roughly six weeks left until lockdown ends, so this is an opportunity to get yourself and your team on point ready for reopening. Take a look at the full course breakdown below, or drop us a line on HQ@theIFBA.com with any questions.

Brand, Inclusivity, and Community in 2021
Consumer Insights Series: Trend #2
Brand has always been a foundational piece of the business success pie. But today's consumers are looking for brands that don't just work on one level – the direct benefit for them as the customer. They're looking for brands with depth, with conscience, and with a tangible sense of the responsibility held by businesses in an increasingly enlightened society.

Is it time to revisit your brand?

Discourse
Discourse is a record of every question asked, packaged in a searchable database. It allows you to access the expertise and experience of both the IFBA Team and all our members.

Chances are, if you're looking for guidance on a specific topic, one of our members has asked the question before – and the answer's in Discourse.
