Global Coach Conference Day


Imagine having a coach conference that doesn't end

The high level of excitement and creativity in coach conferences is addictive. If you have had some, you want more! And that's how I felt after one particular CoActive conference call. I wanted it to go on, and on. It was such an inspiration to hear what is possible, and what's actually happening. I wanted to hear hear how coaches around the world are making things possible for their clients and themselves.

So, I posted an invitation, on the CoActive Community Leaders discussion forum, to co-create a global conference call under the overall theme of "Dreams and Visions" and within two weeks I found myself speaking to an impromptu team of coaches from around the world who wanted to make the conference come true. On our first planning call today 29th June there were coaches from USA, Canada, South Africa and of course Sweden.

9th September 2009
We have a date, 090909. We have an overall theme and several speakers. You, dear reader, are invited to join in with live discussions, interviews and co-creations on a range of coaching topics under the overall theme. You may be inspired to be a leader - get in touch.
