Let's Play!
It’s summer, and with so much happening in the world, we thought we’d explore how to keep coaching a little lighter.
Please join Eileen Coskey Fracchia, CEO of the El Camino Group and IOC West Coast Roundtable Leader and Host—along with co-hosts David Bishop and Dave Shaw—for the 28th IOC West Coast Virtual Roundtable, Thursday, July 31, from 8:30–10:00 AM PT.
We’ll explore:
- How we use play with individuals—to unlock insight, shift energy, or unstick thinking
- What works with intact teams—to build trust, create clarity, or spark fresh conversations
- How experiential learning can be powerful in group settings—especially for leaders and managers building new capabilities
Together, we'll ask:
- What does playful activity unlock for our clients?
- How do we balance structure and spontaneity?
- What boundaries do we keep in mind when play meets purpose?
What to expect:
- Collaborative Breakouts: Share tools, best practices, and creative methods in small groups—followed by a community-wide exchange of insights.
- Bring a Tool: You’re invited (but not required) to bring one exercise, activity, or method that has strengthened your practice to share in breakout.
- Dynamic Dialogue: We’ll draw on the hosts’ and participants’ real-time experience—what’s working now in coaching and leadership environments.
This session brings together coaches from across sectors for a lively, practical, and future-focused conversation. Whether you bring a favorite tool or just come curious, expect inspiration, connection, and a little summer energy.
Let's explore, learn, and grow together!
If you have questions or need additional information, please email Eileen Fracchia or Tiffany Dally.
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 90-minute 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.
