  Session Description:

  The world is breaking. Fearful organizations grip more tightly, demanding performance at the expense of humanity, and that seeps into our coaching. Coaches become more risk-averse, and the people we work with become more guarded.

  In its pursuit of professional credibility, coaching has built frameworks, competencies and measurable outcomes. But in doing so, it risks losing the essence that makes it come alive: love.

  This contemplative session is a call to bring back love in coaching.

  Rather than learning about love, coaches come to feel it, in their bodies, so that they experience their own worthiness and understand from the inside why this belongs at the heart of coaching.

  In this session, we settle, we turn toward another with open hearts, and we let ourselves be met.

  Join us as we:

  •   Recognize and undo the conditioning that taught us to leave love at the door of our practices

  •   Trust the intelligence of our hearts as a catalyst for change

  •   Reclaim coaching as a whole human being

  It’s an invitation into unhurried spaciousness and to walk away with an embodied sense of being seen and loved as we are, and a clearer appreciation of why that belongs in the coaching chair.

• Why Great One-to-One Coaches Struggle With Teams — and What Actually Closes the Gap

  Description:

  Team coaching is the fastest-growing frontier in our profession. However, the leap from coaching one client to coaching a whole team is far bigger than most experienced coaches expect. Skilled one-to-one coaches often find that their sharpest instincts don't transfer: contracting gets more complex, presence is harder to hold across a room, staying non-directive with a group takes real discipline, and the ethics of confidentiality shift entirely.

  In this session, Daniela Aneva pulls back the curtain on what genuinely changes when you coach teams and, more importantly, what closes the gap. Grounded in the ICF Team Coaching Competencies, she will name the specific capabilities that don't carry over from individual work, share one practical tool you can use in your very next team conversation, and show what real team coaching competence actually takes to build. Whether you're curious about adding team coaching to your practice or ready to pursue the ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC), you will leave with a clear, honest picture of the road ahead and where to begin.

  Speaker:

With 25+ years of global leadership experience, she has served as a CHRO, COO, and senior executive across hospitality and technology.

  Description:

  Somatic coaching is rapidly gaining attention as more clients become aware of it—and begin asking for it by name. Yet, despite its growing popularity, somatic coaching is rarely included in foundational coach training, leaving many skilled coaches wondering how to safely and effectively incorporate the body into their work.

  Coaches are invaluable partners in helping people create meaningful change and reach their potential. But when coaching relies primarily on conversation, cognition and insight, we may be accessing only a fraction of the client's available human intelligence.

  The body is not simply the vehicle carrying the brain from one coaching session to another. It is continually communicating through sensations, physiological responses and patterns that can reveal what words alone may not. Learning how to recognize and work with this information can help coaches identify hidden barriers to change, deepen client awareness and support breakthroughs that insight alone has not been able to create.

  In this interactive presentation, you'll explore what somatic coaching actually is, why the body plays such a critical role in transformation and how developing somatic skills can expand what's possible in your coaching practice.

  After this interactive talk, you will be able to:

  • Define somatic coaching and explain the key role the body plays in accessing a client's full human intelligence and potential.

  • Recognize signs of a potential somatic block when insight, motivation or traditional coaching approaches aren't creating the expected movement.

  • Explain the body's role in sustainable behavior change and why knowing what to do doesn't always translate into being able to do it.

  • Identify when deeper somatic education and training may be appropriate for expanding your coaching skills, scope and effectiveness.
