TRACK F Exploring the Edge: Master's Track

Designed for the Master Coach, but open to all, the Master's Track will take the lid off traditional barriers and invite you to be inspired, awakened and challenged. This track focuses on the skills, attitudes, practices, and frontier thinking that arises from the skill set of the masterful coach. As experienced coaches, we go beyond action and success with our clients, and we want to look specifically at what is beyond that edge. We want to deepen our understanding of individual, organizational, social and global transformation. We want to know how coaches are answering our clients' yearning for deeper meaning and impact. Join us in creating a global learning community to explore these questions and others:

  • What is our deeper purpose and practice as coaches, beyond mastering skills?
  • How are coaching tools and practices making a difference to people and communities in the world?
  • How do we catalyze each other to go beyond mastery and "best practices"?
  • What risks are we taking? What have we learned from failure?
  • How do we view the entire world as our "client" and use coaching powerfully to impact the good of all?
  • How do intimacy and powerful heart connections transform clients and coaches?
  • What do we find when we look at the off-limit places? What new discoveries are we making regarding longing, spirituality, sexuality, money, fear, success, and other growing edges?
  • How are coaches helping to build awake individuals and communities?

The sessions in this track will provoke coaches of all experience levels to consider the frontiers of coaching practice and the edges of our profession. Our vision is that the conversations we spark with the Master's Track sessions will ripple around the globe long after the conference ends.
