The conference programme aims to inform and engage interactively with the audience to build skills and develop global coaching practice for professional coaches. Linking up with contemporary leadership research the conference explores the interface between organisational leadership and coaching approaches for mutually beneficial results up to governance levels.

Organisational leadership and executive coaching are becoming increasingly interlinked. Executive coaching practice is becoming an ever-stronger mechanism to support organisational leadership and many organisational leaders are themselves becoming executive coaches to embed coaching practice in their organisations’ cultures. What are the effects on organisational energies, interpersonal relationships at work and personal awareness and mastery overall? At this conference, our speakers explore the future of leadership and the future of coaching in parallel to seek out mutual benefits for individual leadership approaches as well as beneficial effects on governance of organisations at the highest level.

Why should I attend?

This conference is for all that are interested to learn and exchange about the future of executive coaching, scientific developments of the practice, as well as about the coach/client relationship, its myths and benefits. Framing the discussion with contemporary leadership approaches, the effects of executive development on organisational governance and performance will round up the theme for the day, and we will leave with a sense of direction and purpose, and hopefully a few new connections to our professional and personal networks.
