Thurs 18 - Fri 19 July: an opportunity to learn integral development coaching One of the great delights for many people who join our two-day 'Foundations of Coaching' programme is how much there is to learn about ourselves in the process of learning how to be an integral development coach. In our way of understanding, coaching is an opportunity for two people to enter into the biggest questions - Who have I taken myself to be in this life? Who might I now become, in response to the my own deep longing and to the world? Who am I called to be, at this unique time? And what will that call for in the relationships I make, the possibilities I can imagine, and the actions I take? Learning together with those questions in mind, and on our lips, is also a wonderful way to make deep and lasting connections with others, to experience the joy of being up to something that matters - together. Sue Braithwaite and Andy Rogers from Thirdspace are leading 'Foundations' online on Jan 18-19. It's beautifully run, and we use the technology in a way that quickly has it 'disappear' so you can feel that you're in a robust and skilfully held community of learning, as if you were right there in person with the others who join. We'd love to welcome you there. https://lnkd.in/dYbzYuy

Insights from ICF Assessors: Global webinar series, next episode on Listens Actively. 6th Nov. 4:00am ET / 9:00am UK / 10:00am CET/ 8:00pm AEDT "I am excited for our upcoming session on 'Active Listening'—a core competency in coaching! This isn’t just about learning techniques; it’s about exploring the transformative power of listening with a whole-system approach. We’ll dive into what it means to truly tune in—not only to clients, but also to our own inner dialogue and the broader environment. Together, we’ll share insights and practical takeaways from our co-authored chapter, discuss real-world applications, and examine how deep listening can elevate the impact of our coaching. As M. Sullivan says, 'Ninety percent of asking great questions is about listening.' What we listen for shapes what we hear, and what we hear shapes the questions we ask. Join us as we journey into this critical skill and discover the profound ways that active listening can enhance our practice." https://lnkd.in/g9hfAyWp https://lnkd.in/gTrEzftH Judit Ábri von Bartheld MA, MCC, ACTC Jonathan Passmore, Osama Al-Mosa, MCC/ ACTC/ ITCA, Johan van Bavel MCC, Peter Hayward

A very useful conversation this morning, discussing future generations today. How are we keeping future generations in mind when we are designing today's systems, processes, legislation and ways of being? What kind of adults do we need to be to bring up these children? How do we need to be to be able to bring out this generation so they are not constantly pushed back and suppressed by our mindsets. This is the true work of futures - starting with our own worldviews and critically analysing the impact on future pathways. Do we open possibilities for future generations or recreate today? Thanks for providing the catalyst for an important conversation Antonia Mann, Sylvia Docherty, Sophie McInnes, Thomas Blakie, Clare McLennan-Kissel, Cristian Rodriguez

Team collaboration is at the heart of modern organisations... and the big change is moving from organisations where governance is based on mistrust. Our panel comes with various exciting experiences and novel views. It's going to be a fascinating conversation about bringing Coaching Cultures into everyday situations and everyday relationships with a view to boost team collaboration and build modern organisations.

As we come to the end of #icw24 it has been fantastic to see so many posts and sharing of learning and experiences. The #coaching community is by it's very nature, supporting, nurturing and super friendly. My last post for this week is about using #VirtualReality to increase capability. It is not a new concept, but it is becoming much more accessible and the possibilities are endless. One of the advantages of using immersive learning is the increased speed on embedding the learning. The #vr experience we offer is not avatar to avatar, in this case, it is providing an immersive learning experience that creates awareness in the moment. For example, a participant walks into a prison cell, and has a problem to solve in a stipulated time. The reactions, self talk and body language observed helps to raise awareness for the person. With the added advantage from the #coach, they can create strategies on how to identify and manage those reactions, and apply in the real world. The experience is not forgotten and has a more lasting impact on the individual. This is ideal for early career training programmes, leadership development, team building and one-to-one work. Get in touch if you're looking to freshen up your training and development offering. Have a great weekend everyone! 💡 #virtualreality #vrcoaching #learninganddevelopment

Ever felt like you're in limbo, waiting for a "new normal" that just won’t arrive? In these unpredictable times, leaders are struggling to find their footing in what academics call liminal experiences—moments of transition where the familiar breaks, but nothing fully replaces it. The ground keeps shifting, and many are left wondering: How do we lead when everything feels uncertain? Here’s a starting point: 1. Ask the Big Questions: • What do you truly value? Reflect on what really matters and consider what’s worth holding onto. • Where does your organisation stand? Without clarity in purpose, it’s hard to inspire confidence. • How can you guide your team forward? Liminal times can invite experimentation and adaptability. 2. Focus on the Fundamentals: • Step back and take stock. Reaffirm your organisation’s purpose amidst the noise. • Strengthen ties. In tough times, collaboration and connection anchor us. • Hold fast and stay true. In rough seas, knowing your course is key. These steps can offer stability and focus, even when the future is unpredictable. To dive deeper into navigating these turbulent times, read the full article on Vistage.

These illuminating bite-sized articles explore the idea that delivering quality coaching requires coaches to address their development holistically and put the 'Personal' into Professional Development (CPPD). Julia Carden PhD, PCC, FCIPD and Dr Elizabeth Crosses' research highlighted that "the route to deep client connection, which enables coaches to work at a level of insight and change, comes from the work on self and self-awareness", asking us to consider how learning and development choices might enhance how we are being rather than what we are doing as a coach. They offer the following questions as points of reflection when planning your CPPD:  + What is the purpose of my development (for me, my clients and the systems we live and work in)?  + What is the difference I want to make? + What am I curious about? + What does my soul need? + What is my body telling me that I need to pay attention to? #selfcompassion #selfreflection #selfconnection #selfawareness #coachdevelopment #bestpractice #coachingsupervision

Integrating spiritual ethics and belief systems into coaching creates a deeper connection, fostering meaningful growth and alignment between values, purpose, and actions. Looking forward to exploring how one’s spiritual ethics and beliefs can provide a grounding and foundation for one’s practice while providing an openness of engagement with coachees of other faiths or none. https://lnkd.in/gsxdf_42 #coachingethics #spirituality #belief #ethics #faith #humanity #coachingethicforum
