Shaping Our Future

    What direction do you want to take your coaching?

    What role do you feel coaching has to play in shaping the world around us?

    How do you see your coaching business developing in the future?

Come and be part of the Euro Coach List Conference 2010 - Shaping Our Future

The Euro Coach List Conference offers you a place for exploring, learning and planning ways to create a future of benefit to you and those around you professionally and personally.

Building on the success of the last 2 Euro Coach List Conferences, ECL 10 it brings together 3 core strands important to us as coaches today:

  • How we can make a difference in the world.

  • How we coach effectively in challenging times and reducing budgets.

    and

  • How we can make a living from work we love to do.

You will be taking part in 3 key streams which encompass the skills we need to run not only successful practices but successful businesses

  • Business Building

  • Skills Development

  • Case Studies & Research

What can you expect from the conference?

  • The opportunity to connect with fellow coaches, network and "meet in person" those you may have been connecting with for a while virtually. We know from past conferences one of the most powerful parts of the conference is the chance to make real, lasting connections that continue beyond the conference

  • Expert panel discussions on a range of meaningful subjects that will assist your professional and personal development. The key themes being focused on this year are the importance of coaches niching; the relevance of coaching supervision and significance of coaching in the current economic climate

  • Expanding your knowledge with in-depth case studies, new research papers and useful tools and resources from fellow coaches

  • A relaxing, rural conference space. Situated in 200 acres of countryside, Eastwood Park is a historic country house close to good transport links.

    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.
