The Pandemic Affect/Effect: Navigating New Coaching Opportunities, Challenges and Dynamics

Please join Eileen Coskey Fracchia, IOC Strategic Advisor and Roundtable Leader, and the host committee, Candy Deemer, Cynthia Loy Darst, Jayne Dundes, and Petra Russell for our 18th West Coast Roundtable (virtual), Thursday, February 10, 2022, 8:00 am – 10:00 am PST.

Our topic is centered around The Pandemic Affect/Effect: Navigating New Coaching Opportunities, Challenges, and Dynamics. The past two years have been a time of continuous transition, comparable to moments of sailing in choppy seas or walking down a road without a known end. We Coaches have helped clients tune in to personal fears and anxieties and turn outward to help employees and colleagues grapple with their own reactions. Coaches have had to be flexible in their coaching practices: navigating through the blurred boundaries between work and home, and helping leaders develop agility as they shift from expert/achiever in a known world to catalyst/creator of a new world of work and life.

We will connect around understanding how the pandemic has had an affect/effect on our coaching practices and share our plans for 2022 and beyond.  During our conversation, we will discuss:

• What do we want to create that is new – new practices, opportunities, ways of working, or new emerging norms?
• How do/have we determined coaching competencies that need to be accelerated?
  • What competencies have WE had to accelerate?
  • What competencies have our CLIENTS had to accelerate?
• What will we happily leave behind in 2022, and what will be difficult to let go?
• How are we as coaches being more innovative and agile --- and how are we trying to help our clients become innovative and agile?

Information for pre-reading articles/thinking will be sent out to all registrants by the end of January.

If you have questions or need additional information, please email Eileen Fracchia or Tiffany Dally.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

Roundtable meetings promise:

• A marketing-free, inclusive, and peer-based learning space for coaches to learn about and share new coaching concepts and research.
• A community of coaching professionals to provide peer coaching and support for developing the “growing edge” of our respective capabilities.
• Ways to apply the resources available through the IOC to real coaching situations through case consultation and group seminars.

The format is a series of three to four 2-hour events over the course of the year. Each session includes a topic facilitated by an IOC member, discussion of practice and application with that topic, along with case consultation and peer coaching depending on the topic and needs of the group.
