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 these dialogues. These experiential symposia 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 these events, 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 these symposia will be extremely powerful, unforgettable experiences.

Visit our website often for the latest news on upcoming Symposia, locations, dates and topics.

These are leading-edge learning events where you will be able to build an incredible network. We envision a “United Nations of Coaching” a body of divergent opinions and perspectives, alert to the ideas of others, collaborative, inclusive, respectful of differences and transparently apolitical.

To ensure intimate dialogue and meaningful networking opportunities, these are limit-capacity events with a maximum of 35 participants. Through these intimate conversations, participants will share successes and failures through real life case studies of coaching in organizations. Organizations will share their experience with executive coaches. Organizational decision makers will find that these explorations enable them to systematize and accelerate their internal processes due to these dialogues.

We can describe how the symposia work however it is something you truly have to experience in order to understand the power and impact of these events.

A Message from our Dean of Symposia:

“I have devoted considerable time at this point in my life to serving as Dean of the ICCO symposia for three primary reasons. First, I believe that this highly interactive format provides a setting for frank and insightful dialogue among coaches, the users of coaching services, and those who study coaching and provide coach training. I know of no other forum for this kind of extended conversation. Second, I believe that organizational coaching is at a crossroads. It will either soon fade away as yet another management fad, or will make an enduring contribution to organizations and their leaders as they face the challenges of 21st Century complexity, unpredictability and turbulence, and as they seek to create that sustainable world in which we all wish to live.

I believe that the ICCO symposia can play an important role in ensuring that organizational coaching does endure, does contribute and does continue to mature as a profession and interdisciplinary endeavor. Third, I believe that our increasingly “flat” world is in need of continuing, constructive and committed dialogue among women and men from different cultures, from different vantage points within organizations, and from different perspectives regarding the use of organizational coaching services. The ICCO symposia are dedicated to these dialogues-across-boundaries and for such dialogues I am willing to commit time, energy and imagination.” – William Bergquist, Ph. D.
