OUR KEY LEARNS FROM AN
UNFORGETTABLE CONFERENCE

“As practitioners in the field of
leadership development, we need to
think ahead in terms of how coaching
can best evolve to something more fluid.
We need to help educate managers and
leaders on how they can scale coaching
in their organizations more effectively.”
Natalie Schurmann, MSC
Brussels, Belgium

“The message that still resonates with me is a quote from Richard
Boyatzis: 'The only legacy we have in life are the people we touch.’
It's why I entered this profession. The advancement of technological
changes will increase the access and impact of coaching, truly
allowing us to change the world one person at a time. And that is a
beautiful thing.”
“I left the conference deep in thought around how AI and machine
learning will impact our coaching industry, our workforce, and the
global economy. Will AI replace the need for human intervention or
augment? I'm of course in the camp of "augment"...but does
"augment" contain a hidden slippery slope? I presume we'll find out in
2 years time (which is 50 years in technology time).”
“The future of coaching will require that we professionalize and
continue to provide value for our clients through the embrace of
technology, mindfulness, and advances in neuroscience.”
Jamie Ramsden, MBA, ACC
Charlotte, NC

REDEFINING THE EXPERIENCE AND
PROMISE OF EXECUTIVE COACHING
BY NATALIYA ADELSON, PH.D. & JONATHAN KIRSCHNER, PSY.D.

“The conference served as a reminder that we
live in a rapidly changing VUCA world …
exponential rate of change / technology
disruption (David Peterson's keynote) requires
that we (coaches) continuously cultivate effective
methodologies, new skill sets and expertise in
the science and mechanisms of accelerated
leadership development.”
Nataliya Adelson, Ph.D.
Princeton, NJ
7. “I learned Fixed Mindset vs. Growth Mindset, which is useful for
working with coachees who lack self-awareness around how their
‘fixed’ perceptions can be self-limiting. By adopting a more flexible
growth mindset, coachees can attract and enhance relationships.
Paul Curci
Philadelphia, PA
“I learned the significant role that Positive Emotional Attractors (PEA)
and Negative Emotional Attractors (NEA) play in our coaching work and
day-to-day interactions. PEA creates readiness for growth and NEA
constricts, protects and defends.”
David Ehrmann
Boston, MA
“A question can be an invitation, a request or a missile. What impact do
you want your questions to have?”
My other key takeaways were:
• Questions are a linguistic vehicle for curiosity.
• Every time we ask a question we are cultivating curiosity and discovery.
• Questions are like treasures hidden in broad daylight.
• A Question not asked is a door not opened
• A Question calls forth that which does not yet exist
Geetu Bharwaney

9. “The future of coaching combines the best of human-to-human
coaching along with new practices created by advances in brain science
and augmented intelligence powered by emerging technologies.”
“We need to help leaders see the magnificence of their teams and
unleash their team potential. I was reminded about the paradoxical
nature of coaching a team. On the one hand it is entirely complex
because the team is part of such a larger system. On the other hand,
coaching a team is as simple as helping a group of people learn how to
communicate with each other in new ways.”
Therese Heege, M.S., ACC
Milwaukee, WI
Mike Saporito, MBA

“The buyers of coaching are becoming more sophisticated! Be it
assessments, technology for coaching or just measuring ROI.”
