2022 ICW: Reimagine the Future - from Survive to Thrive

International Coaching Week (2022 ICW) is an annual world-wide celebration of professional coaches and the growth and impact of our industry. This year's theme is “Reimagine the Future". It's appropriate because coaching can help us deal with challenging times in our personal and professional lives!

As part of 2022 ICW, ICF Oregon is hosting a "Reimagine the Future - from Survive to Thrive" event. This free event will provide members and guest coaches with the opportunity to learn from expert panelists on resiliency, burnout and thriving, to share in a peer coaching opportunity, and to network.

We recognize that members of our community have been challenged to the limit during the pandemic. Our goal is to support you in improving your resilience, offering new ways of thriving instead of surviving, and creating a positive ripple effect in our community.

• Panel - coaches with expertise around burnout/resilience/thriving share tools and tips around burnout, thriving and creating resilience
