teams to help real-life participants with real-life problems in real time, through in-depth

Details on the DC Symposium:

On June 24 – 25, 2010, The International Consortium for Coaching in Organizations (ICCO) is coming to Washington, DC to host a symposium on “Building Sustainable Coaching Programs in Organizations”

Out of all the change, growth, challenge, and personal development that has evolved over time, the one thing we knew we wanted to do was to evolve the Coaching profession in organizations from a multi-stakeholder perspective. An answer to this need was the creation of our unique Symposia.

We know how you value the experience of learning, growth insight and shared meaning. If you’re in the business of growing people in any capacity, whether as coaches, coach trainers, educators or internal corporate program leaders, you need to be a part of this dialogue. Our challenge today is how to build coaching programs in organizations and make them sustainable. This experiential symposium will not only enlighten you as to what’s happening in the ‘worlds’ of all stakeholders of Coaching but will give you the opportunity to build something unique to your area of work.

When you come away from this event, you can expect to take away tools and concepts that can be used immediately upon your return. That’s a given. You will also take with you ideas and insights that will expand over time, increasing the value of your experience. Add that to the like-minded colleagues you’ll be interacting with, and this symposium will be an extremely powerful, unforgettable experience.

And there’s more!

After the two day symposium on June 26-27, 2010, you’ll have the option to join us for a day and half day Colloquium with dialogue and provocative strategic thinking to continue the conversation, brainstorm, share ideas, ask questions and listen to business and marketing best practices to add to the overall experience.  The Colloquium will use proprietary process facilitation tools to help the group design and build a community of practice for coaching program coordinators representing government, the private sector, non-profits, and universities. We are encouraging program coordinators to bring their teams to this event, including one or more coaches that work with them. This is the first time a diverse network of coaching program coordinators will get together.

How does a Symposium work?

Through intimate conversations, participants explore real life case studies presented by organizational leaders and by coaches. Both organizations and coaches benefit from the variety of experiences and the different perspectives that emerge in this exploration. Organizational decision makers discover the value of coaching for issues that affect them in real time, and they share with other leaders strategies for making the best use of coaching. Coaches gain from seeing their colleagues in action, and they get a glimpse of coaching from the organizational consumer’s perspective. Identifiable details of the case studies are held in confidence and stay within the walls of the Symposium.

Roundtable discussions about innovative coaching applications reveal individual perspectives. Similar to the conversations held during Executive Coach Summit gatherings, conversations are held in small groups and are self-managed, often in an open space style. Groups reconvene to share their findings with the larger community.

Participant comments from past Symposia may be found on the ICCO website: http://www.coachingconsortium.org

Registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis so register now as space is limited to 35 participants in each event. We keep the numbers small to ensure rich, generative dialogue.
