Coaching - Quo Vadis?(Where are you going?)
1000 AM
The coaching profession is plagued by the charlatan problem: “coaches” are selling multi level marketing schemes, promise clients health and wealth in no time for a huge fee or even exploit clients in cult-like organizations. As the Instagram coaching brigade is growing, shouts for a “professionalisation” are getting louder.
ICF, EMCC, AC and many other local organizations have heard the cry and are offering coaches a path to demonstrate their level of professionalism and buyers of coaching security of hiring a “professional” coach. The three organizations are following different routes to fulfil the needs of coaches and buyers of coaching. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages for the profession and it is still unclear where the journey will end. In this keynote, you will learn about the different approaches, the advantages and drawbacks of each approach and finally, what you can do as a coach and as a buyer of coaching to deal with the resulting complexity. You will be inspired to reflect on how you demonstrate the quality of your coaching and plan next steps for your future development as a “professional” coach and buyer of “professional” coaches.

Showcase #1:
“Create a Dynamic Coaching Culture in your Workplace Today!” – a 45-min
showcase to Bring Out Your People’s Best
Is your Organization Coach Ready? While many in the workplace think that they are coaching and may even regard themselves as coaches—the truth of the matter is, they are probably not coaching.
They may be leading, mentoring, managing and motivating their people towards their organizational vision, mission, goals and plans. A Coaching Culture within an organisation is a culture where not only formal coaching occurs but also where coaching becomes a language and lifestyle—as a means of influencing and connecting with each other.
Discover how ready your organization is, to embark on a journey of embedding and sustaining Coaching in this 45-min showcase brought to you by Catalyst Coach.

Showcase #2:
The Art of The Question
One of the fundamentals in the ICF model for coaching is giving the client agency to take the lead in the coaching session. In other professions there is a tendency for the conversation to be led by the professional, who is regarded as the expert. It goes without saying that the ICF credentialed coach faces a very different challenge in the Art of the Question. Each question must have the effect of granting the client full freedom to explore, while achieving the result that the client wants.
Whether you are an aspiring coach or a client on the lookout for a coach properly schooled in the Art, know that the Ontological, Mindful and Ecological (OME) method offered by Ideal Coaching Global is designed to groom coaches in the Art of the Question.
