By Rod Paynter, The Canadian Alliance of Life Skills Coaches and Associations (CALSCA)
Life Skills are problem solving behaviours used appropriately and responsibly in the management of one’s affairs. The Canadian Alliance of Life Skills Coaches and Associations (CALSCA) is committed to the belief that all individuals are entitled to learn the Life Skills necessary for personal and social development. We support and promote professional excellence in Life Skills Coaching – Personally, Regionally and Nationally. The seeds of CALSCA were planted in 1993 at the annual conference of the Association of Life Skills Coaches of Ontario. At that conference we realized that there were coaches attending from eight provinces, so we had a special inter-provincial meeting and put together a small budget for a newsletter.

There must be a more efficient way for our industry to connect with the public. After all, why should our clients have so much trouble finding us, especially when they need us most?
One of the keys, I believe, lies in a concept known as “co-opetition”. This notion, popularized by Brandenburger and Nalebuff (professors at the Harvard Business School and the Yale School of Management, respectively), suggests that business strategy in today’s unpredictable environment must combine cooperation and competition.
