Open Forum

This open forum session is designed as a brave and creative gathering space for coaches to come together in real conversation about what is shifting in the coaching industry and what is stirring in their own practices. In a time marked by uncertainty, change, and disconnection, this session offers an invitation to pause, reconnect, and remember the strength that becomes available when we do not carry our questions alone.

Participants will be invited to bring a current challenge in the form of a brief story or lived moment from their practice. Through thoughtful facilitation and a range of reflective and interactive modalities, the group will explore these challenges with compassion, curiosity, and honesty. This is not a space for fixing or performing expertise. It is a space for witnessing and being witnessed, for offering perspective without pressure, and for drawing on the wisdom, care, and resourcefulness of the collective. We will share resources generously and welcome diverse perspectives as part of the learning.

Together, we will create room for truth, reflection, and shared encouragement. Coaches can expect to leave feeling more connected, more grounded, and more supported by the courage, presence, and collective wisdom of a community willing to meet this moment together.

Facilitators: Beza Ayalew, Bryan Miles, Friderike Butler
