It was a wonderful, extremely well organised, and inspiring conference. I really liked the venue and would be very happy to go back there next year. It would be fantastic if you could persuade Aboodi and Sharon to both do longer sessions.
I would like to pass on my congratulations and thanks for a successful, stimulating and enjoyable conference.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from the day and I am pleased to say it passed my expectations in terms of meeting talented, professional and friendly people who were willing to share their experiences and knowledge. As a result I have learned new things, made new contacts and made new friends.
This is just a quick message to say "thank you" for having pulled off a conference that came across as professional, educational, useful and, most important, fun.
I hope that everyone got as much out of it as I did.
The conference was excellently and professionally organised, the speakers were interesting and informative and entertaining and the venue, both the Watershed and Bristol, were ideal.
It was lovely to meet old friends and make new connections with people previously just 'names' on the list.
Looking forward to next year's event!
Whatever you do...
DO NOT come to the next Euro Coach List Conference!
DO NOT open yourself to the onslaught of professional stimulation, CPD AND general camaraderie which made this conference not the same old same old!
DO NOT open yourself to enjoying our yummy social get togethers both planned and unplanned. And great venues!
For those of you who couldn't make it, it went off without a hitch - like it was on rails. The venue was excellent, the agenda spot-on, George as MC was a star, the presenters were stimulating, and we even had two days of glorious weather.
And it was great to meet so many coaches I've only ever communicated with over email. Wonderful
I learned a lot - as always when I spend time in the company of other coaches. This was the most enjoyable and productive coaching conference I have ever attended over the last 14 years on both side of the Atlantic.
I am only so sorry for those of us on the List who couldn't or didn't make it this time. As Sharon has predicated, perhaps there'll be so many of us next year that there won't be room for her. Surely not!
What a fantastic conference – I feel privileged spending time with such a warm, open bunch of people – what other profession would have that!
It flowed brilliantly – a great choice of venues – including Friday and Saturday night, wonderful mix of presenter – it was difficult to decide which sessions to attend and lovely food!
The conference was great fun as well as informative, with a wonderfully gentle atmosphere of support and connection (just as you would expect from the folk on the list). It was great to meet (and hug) people who I have known for many years, though now they are 'real'. It's funny how many people don't look like their names J. And thanks to all the people who helped. Of course, especially Coen for all his work on our behalf, carried out in such an unassuming and professional way.
Looking forward to next year.
What a brilliant conference you have laid on this weekend. I haven’t been a list member before (I have signed up now), but felt that everybody was incredibly open and welcoming. The weekend confirmed what George said in his opening speech that the list is full of generous people. Speakers were all great, food was good and not the usual buffet stuff. Best of all: The company of all the other coaches. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and feel re-invigorated, which might also be due to Angus' brilliant coaching on me
