Two major themes have been surfacing within the world of coaching during the last couple of years. One of those themes is neurodivergence and the desire for coaching to be an neuro-friendly space.

The other theme is the emergence of AI in everything we do in the digital world around coaching, from administration to marketing, from client communication to coach assessment and development. AI is becoming increasingly hard to ignore if you’re active in the world of coaching.

Our online conference this year focuses on these two themes as we set out to support you in considering what both topics mean for you in your coaching. If you’re actively coaching, neurodivergence is going to be showing up in the coaching room, whether you have an awareness of it or not. And when it comes to AI, even if you’re not intending to use it in any part of your coaching, it’s important to understand how your coachee’s might be engaging with this powerful tool and what that means for you as a coach.

Join us in October, for what promises to be a day of discovery, an opportunity to develop your understanding and a chance to ask questions of experts in each field.
