Enhancing the GCC for 2010

Together with colleagues around the world I have been discussing ways to enrich "the GCC experience".

By that I mean we are learning from the experience we had during the 090909 conference, and are planning to make the things that were not good enough better. Some of the ideas that have come up are:

• Interactivity
  
  We want more interactivity - ie the participants and speakers want to interact with each other. At the moment it's all a bit one way.
  
  
• Before, during and after (the conference)
  
  For some people the anticipation (= prior information) is an important part of the experience, others mostly enjoy being in the moment, and get the most out of being on the phone, listening and speaking; and others want ways of following up (= connections and discussions) after the conference.
  
  
• Recordings
  
  People who couldn't attend, or who found out later, want to listen to recordings of the sessions. These could be packaged and presented in better ways.
  
  
• Support
  
  Almost everyone wants the GCC to continue, and want to support financially. Ways for this to be achieved are many

So, in the next weeks and months you will see these ideas become real.

Virtual Events around the Globe

Google Calendars
I use Google Calendars for planning and displaying the virtual events in different time zones. If you use a Google Calendar you can easily "push" selected events to the GCC calendar automatically. Google Calendars can also be synchronised with your Blackberry!

Global Providers
My intention is to have a range of providers from different continents and am currently in discussions with business coaches in India and ICF Certified coaches in China. If you would like to have details on how this works, let me know. I plan to open the GCC calendar to selected providers successively during 2010.

International speaker, author and coach, Shelle Rose Charvet opens the 2010 Global Coach Conference with her insights into how to create positive changes through language.

Events Calendar

Just created the multi-time-zone calendar that will support the promotion of virtual coaching-related events around the globe.
