From Disrupted to Ready:
Preparing Mindsets for the Future of Coaching

The coaching landscape is shifting. What worked yesterday is no longer enough to meet the complexity and pace of today's clients. In this session, Dr Michelle K. Johnston invites coaches to examine the internal shifts required to stay relevant and impactful — drawing on her research and the principles from The Seismic Shift in You.

  • Why human connection is the differentiator in a world full of tools and AI

Staying Present When Strong Feelings Arise: Building Capacity Through Coaching Supervision

Strong feelings are entering coaching conversations more than ever,  shaped by global uncertainty, geopolitical conflict, climate disruption, and rapid change. Fear, grief, anger, and moral distress are no longer rare in sessions. They are the new normal. In this experiential session, Leanne Lowish invites coaches to build the somatic and relational capacity to remain present with intensity,  not by fixing or bypassing, but by staying in relationship with what is hardest to hold.

FACILITATOR - Susan Fong - ACC 
ZOOM HOST - Celine Grace - ACC

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

  • Why strong feelings belong in coaching, and what it means to stay present rather than manage them away
  • What happens in the body when intensity arises, and how somatic awareness expands your capacity to hold it
  • Co-regulation as a coaching skill, and why your nervous system is one of your most powerful tools
  • How coaching supervision builds the window of tolerance, resilience, and presence your clients need most
