Most major change initiatives are not sustainable. Can coaching do better?
While the increasingly complex and global business world demands rapid change, research from key consultancies suggests that most major organizational change initiatives lack sustainable results. A single focus on changing processes, structures and systems (different ways of “doing”) is not enough. The major aspect that needs to be considered to transform organizations is the human element.
From coaching we know that only the change of a person’s beliefs, perspectives and basic assumptions, (Different ways of “Being” = Transformation), create sustainable new behaviors and different results. By considering an organization as a “living entity”, with a culture or personality (values, beliefs and related behaviors), principles of individual transformation can be applied to change initiatives because organizations don’t transform – people do.
This panel of OD and organizational culture specialists, change consultants and coaches will discuss:
- Why the “Cultural Capital” of an organization is the new frontier of “competitive advantage”;
- What organizational beliefs are and how they are developed;
- Why culture is always stronger than strategy;
- The roles individual and team coaching play and what the key coaching goals are;
- How coaching operates as part of a system, together with OD and consulting tools and processes; and
- Why senior executives (beliefs/values?) are the key success factor for a successful transformation initiative.
The Coaching Industry, Fads or Trends?
Thursday, November 13 - 3:45 - 5:15 pm / 15:45 - 17:15
Darren Shirlaw (Australia) - View Bio
CCEU: .15 core competency / 1.35 business development & marketing
This session will address the major forseen trends for the organizations of tomorrow and ways the coaching business can evolve in this environment.
An informative speaker, Darren Shirlaw entered the coaching profession from the fund management industry; therefore, he takes a radically different perspective on coaching, focusing on the opportunities of coaching as an industry sector.
In this session Shirlaw will apply trend analysis used from his old days in the Fund sector to demonstrate how the coaching industry will evolve over the next four years and the implications this will have on the businesses of coaches.
The focus of this session will be:
- Review the development of the coaching industry against other industry cycles;
- Review some key “coaching assumptions” against these trends;
- Review the need for the coaching industry product to evolve/change to keep pace with Industry/Economic shifts; and
- Demonstrate how coaches will change their pricing and business models over the next four years to align with these trends.

In today's changing and challenging business environment, current methodologies measuring employees individual success and relying mainly on hard facts for decision making may no longer be sufficient for impactful and sustainable change. As the business world and our world as a whole face new systemic challenges, the key factors to create success may need to be revisited and revised and the role of the coach along with them.
In this highly experiential workshop, meant to be co-created with participants, Sabine Henrichfreise and Francis Cholle, experts in Collective and Intuitive Intelligence, challenge the audience to consider some of the following questions, the answers to which may radically change our views and methodologies as coaches:
- What alternatives to traditional intelligence and success are needed for today's organizations and those who lead them?
- Which organizational complexities are both clients and coaches ignoring and how does that impact new paths for innovation and success?
- How does creative chaos play a role in systemic success factors?
- Is collective, intuitive intelligence necessary for organizational success today and if so, how do we invite it powerfully forward as organizational coaches?
- Can organizations be successful without focusing beyond their own growth and profit?
If you are interested in testing your own theories and assumptions in these important areas and perhaps discovering new ways to approach the coaching of organizations and their leaders, we invite your attendance and participation. In the midst of our co-created with you chaos, we may all move toward more sustainable systems of organization success.

Creating the Right Environment for Innovation
Thursday, November 13 Mark King (USA) - View Bio
CCEU: 1.5 other tools & skills
Mark King, President and CEO of the TaylorMade-adidas Golf Company, will share his formula for creating a sustainable culture of innovation in one of the most influential golf equipment manufacturing companies in the world. Based on nearly 30 years of experience with the company in sales leadership, general management and executive leadership positions, King will describe how TaylorMade has grown from a start-up company on the fringes of the golf industry to a $1.2 billion market leader. Specifically, he will detail the following four key ingredients for a successful culture of innovation: Big Goals Drive Big Changes; Change the Rules of the Game; Distribute Leadership (let the smart people in the room); and Build the Culture. Woven through these elements will be the core themes that bind them together: driving and sustaining a high-energy environment, sharing the responsibility, and attracting quality people and retaining them through purposeful and planned development. King’s unique perspective from the CEO’s chair will give the audience an opportunity to consider first-hand accounts of the challenges and successes of leading an innovation culture. This outlook promises to be especially useful for coaches of senior leaders, executive team members and the leaders who report to them as well as anyone interested in advancing innovation in an organizational setting.
Getting Past the Impasse!

Cette séance se déroulera en français avec traduction simultanée en anglais (This session will be presented in French with live English Interpretation)
Have you ever experienced "stuck" situations in teams where there was significant resistance? Have you ever had to deal with teams where behaviors prevent any form of collaboration? Have you ever had to face attitudes of sabotage, impeding progress or performance within a team? Have you ever encountered teams where decision-making and action-taking never occur? What could you do to help them move past that impasse?
The proposed innovative approach has proven to be successful in many organizations. According to feedback from the teams that undertook this approach, it provided a positive experience, which gave them confidence that they could succeed in achieving a task together. They felt a renewed motivation to collaborate, a better working atmosphere and a more open and fluid communication. Finally, they managed to align themselves on concrete goals and to agree on a common project.
And what if they were all musicians in the same orchestra?
Engaging each participant to be a musical instrument, to create a band and prepare for a collective performance, Morneau will lead you through a creative and playful journey where you will unleash your own team potential.
This session will invite you to challenge your assumptions about coaching teams and stretch your limits. This different circulation of energy will bring participants' alignment with their inner intuition and leverage the creation of new team coaching strategies.
Is Self-Management Overrated? A new Perspective on the Coach’s Impact on Client Systems

Throughout organizational systems globally, a new reality is beginning to emerge; the awareness that leveraging change through systemic impact is more powerful than focusing on individual achievement only. In order to do that collaboratively, consideration must be given to the larger dreaming consciousness of the very organization itself. From the coaching perspective the question then is: did you as coach land the contract or were you dreamt there by the organization? If you were dreamt there, are you part of it or outside of the system? Explore this topic with the pioneers in Relationship Systems Work™, Faith Fuller and Marita Fridjhon. Discover how through the very fact that you are observing the system – assessments, intake – you have already changed it! How do you leverage this impact rather than “manage” it out of the way?
Through a series of interactive demonstrations and exercises, this provocative workshop will bring about awareness of the larger, deeper consciousness and your own role in it. You’ll gain a greater understanding of how you as coach forever change the course of the relationship systems that you coach whether or not you intend to. You’ll gain practical skills and tools to tap into this awareness and become more intentional about who you are in your work. As a result, clients will discover how to become empowered change agents in relationship with the dreaming nature of the organization.
The culture of an organization is a reflection of the values and beliefs of the leaders. Organizational transformation therefore begins with a shift in behaviors of the leaders. Organizations don’t transform. People do. In this interactive session, Richard Barrett, founder and chairman of the Barrett Values Centre, will describe how the Cultural Transformation Tools and the Seven Levels of Consciousness model can be used to support leaders in their personal transformation. The Cultural Transformation Tools have been used by more than 1,000 organizations in over 42 countries.
More specifically, Barrett will present the Seven Levels of Leadership Framework, the Leadership Values Assessment instrument and the Individual Values Assessment for evaluating leadership performance. He will provide data to show how the values profile of a leader is reflected in the culture of an organization, and how full-spectrum leaders create high-performance, full-spectrum organizations. He will also describe the five modes of decision-making and why values-based decision-making is becoming the vogue. Participants will get an opportunity to map their own leadership styles.
