Culture Work: Transforming micro-conversations with coaching to curate preferred futures

02 November 2023, Thursday, 830 PM

Culture, often perceived as a vast and intangible force, is fundamentally crafted through the accumulation of micro-conversations that occur in the corridors, boardrooms, and virtual spaces of our organizations. Each interaction, no matter how brief or seemingly inconsequential, contributes to the broader tapestry of organizational identity and values. 

In this session, we explore the transformative realm of “Culture Work” through highly interactive exchanges in session. Here, we underscore how coaching, as an intentional dialogue, has the unique power to shape these micro-conversations towards preferred futures of people at work. By utilizing the DOQ (Dialogic Orientation Quadrant), an original framework by Dr. Haesun Moon, we will make these often-invisible conversations both visible and workable. 

Drawing from compelling research and rich case studies, we will learn together how we can curate preferred stories of purpose, possibilities, and progress of individuals and teams, transforming the very foundations of how culture is shaped and experienced.

Opening Note

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.
