Welcome to "Navigating Complex Change; Harnessing Human Connection in Turbulent Times"!

As coaches, we know that transformation happens through connection. In a world that’s shifting faster than ever, our ability to foster meaningful relationships is more essential than any strategy or tool. In this one day session, we’ll explore how human connection remains the anchor in times of uncertainty—helping us navigate change, support our clients, and grow as professionals.

We’re bringing this conversation to life with thought-provoking presentations, hands-on discussions, and an engaging speaker lineup - download the full agenda here.

Transforming Triggers: How Irritation Became the Doorway to Discovery
What if a client’s behavior triggers something within us—not because of them, but because of our own unresolved issues? This interactive session invites coaches to explore that question through a powerful personal story, guided inner work, and community dialogue. By turning triggers into opportunities for self-awareness and growth, coaches can build deeper connections, enhance emotional intelligence, and improve client outcomes.
