As the International Association of Coaching® moves into a deep strategic planning process, we invite you to participate in answering questions about the future of the coaching profession, and IAC’s role in creating that future.
With the assistance of Dave Ellis (internationally respected leadership coach, author, educator, and philanthropist), IAC invites its members to participate in a teleconference series. During three 90-minute phone calls Ellis will explain the process of multi-decade visioning, and assist you to think and say what you have never thought or said about the future of coaching. These calls are scheduled throughout our strategic planning process so that you can learn and provide feedback about what other IAC groups have created.
When was the last time you asked yourself ... Where will I be in 25 years? What will I have created? Who will have benefited? What is now possible for those who have received my services?
Of course, we can not predict or control the future, but we are much more likely to influence our future when we know what we want and are clear about our dreams, visions, and desires.
As a valued subscriber to the VOICE, we would love to include you in our first call in August. You have your choice of two different call times.
Please click here to sign up for our visioning process and participate in a stimulating dialogue with your peers, to discuss:
- Where do we want the coaching profession be in 25-50 years?
- What will we want to have created?
- Who do we want to have benefited?
- What is possible for those who have received coaching services?
- Which unlikely alliances have proved most widely successful?
- ... and many more questions to expand our thinking, go beyond our current ideas, and take control of the future of our profession.
You can find out more about Dave Ellis at www.daveellisleadership.com and www.brandefoundation.org.
An opportunity like this doesn’t come around often. Not only will our conversation benefit from your creative mind, we know you’ll be enriched by your participation as well.
Join us! It will be fun!
