Conference conversations could include topics such as:

  1. The evolving landscape of coach credentialing and program accreditation around the world:
    • What is happening with other credentialing and coaching bodies in the world – Who are the players, and what are the differences?
    • What is the impact of increasingly varied credentialing bodies and approaches for the profession? For coaching schools?
    • What can we learn from others who operate under a different system?
    • What is happening with ICF’s changes in membership and credentialing, and what is the impact on how we prepare students?
    • What do the new ICF designations of “RTP” and “REP” mean, and how might they impact my program?
    • How do these changes affect the bigger coaching market and conversations?
  2. How do we position ourselves as a school of quality and rigor and still be affordable in these economic times?
  3. Hot topics in coach development, such as Supervision, Mentor Coaching, and teaching Ethics: What are the questions and controversies? What best practices can we identify?
  4. Peeking around the corner: What trends can we identify that may impact coaching?
  5. How does my membership in ACTO support all this? What does it give me that I can’t get on my own? (not a member yet? please click here to find out more)
