Euro Coach List Conference 2009

In a world of rapid change, with ups and downs, how do we remain positive and inspired, take effective action and support our clients to do the same?

The Euro Coach List Conference offers a place and time to explore, learn and plan in response to all that's going on around us, be it climate change, economic upheaval or leadership crisis.

  • You're facing a time of challenge in your business? Come and refresh your vision and energy.
  • It hasn't affected you? Come and share your secret with others!
  • You believe the coaching community can model a new way for society? Bring your inspiration and share it.

"Instead of seeing the rug being pulled from under us, we can learn to dance on a shifting carpet." - Thomas Crum

Easy to reach from Temple Meads station, and set on Bristol's historic harbourside, the Watershed Media Centre is a mecca for art, creativity and innovation. Come and be inspired in these beautiful surroundings at the Euro Coach List Conference 2009.

Thriving in times of change

Opportunity favours a prepared mind. The current changes bring many challenges but also many opportunities. Are you ready to make the most of it, to move your business from surviving to thriving? Profound principles, cutting edge ideas and powerful information to take your coaching business to the next level.

Become a better coach

Extraordinary times demand extraordinary tools. Are you fully equiped for the challenges of today? As a coach, you are the product, you are what your clients are buying. Improve your coaching skills, become more confident as a coach and more effective in attracting new clients.

Coaches working together

There is a limit to what one coach, one professional or business owner, can achieve. The way forward is a rich mix of individual actions, partnerships and larger collaborations.

We are connected in many many different ways, through our local communities, our network of clients, colleagues and suppliers, the media and the Internet. Our local actions affect the global world. The world is too complex for individuals to really succeed by themselves.

See and experience coaches working together, bring your own 'unsolvable' challenges and watch them dissolve through the power of groups. Go home really knowing, down to your bones, that you belong to this amazing group of people called "coaches", with new contacts and plans for lasting collaborations, and new hope for the future.

Coaching in action

How are coaches helping individuals, groups and organisations to adapt to the many changes that are happening all around us?

Learn from colleagues who are using their coaching skills to make a real difference, working with Not For Profit organisations, individuals going through career challenges, conflict situations and more.

Fill up your toolbox with new tools, techniques and experiences. Develop the foundation for all your coaching: yourself.
