Poster for the From Crisis to Opportunity event on coaching culture

Coaching Culture in Organisations

/in /by

The study carried out by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Human Capital Institute (HCI) (2014) describes that: “with a better understanding of why the coaching is so important, in terms of developing the company’s workforce as a whole, ensuring competitive advantage through its people, the organisation can lay the foundation for a culture of coaching successful and lasting. As a result, the company can convey its commitment to the continuous development of its employees, helping to retain better talent and attract better candidates.”

The session plans to present the main stages of a coaching culture in organisations, provide data from my research in the scope of the study “Coaching, leadership and the development of soft skills in Panama”, supporting the company to identify what stage its organisation is in, what are the benefits of developing a coaching culture and what is expected at each stage and take away tools that can contribute to developing coaching in organisations.

In the structuring of the session, interactive dynamics are planned to identify the participants’ perceptions of their organisations, invite them to share their learning and what they could implement to develop a coaching culture in their organisations.

Join me on October 23 for the annual ICF Panama Chapter event, October 22-24. More information and registration at: https://www.icfpanama.org/evento-2020/page

Coaching Fair – ICF Panama Chapter

/in /by

On July 3, the Coaching Fair was held with the theme “Recognising and Practicing Professional and Ethical Coaching, an excellent event with the quality of ICF Chapter Panama, with international speakers such as Damian Goldvarg and Luchy Mejía and the participation of chapter members facilitating interactive workshops.

Some of the important messages:

  • “Of increasing importance in modern, complex and highly uncertain environments, coaching is defined by the International Coach Federation (ICF) as a process of alliance with clients in which the stimulation of thinking and creativity is promoted, seeking the maximization of personal and professional potential.
  • Practiced by qualified professionals, coaching is a continuous process of active communication in which the coach recognizes and respects the client’s autonomy in relation to their personal and work life.
  • The coach understands that each client is a holistic, creative and resourceful individual.
  • Coaching is a differentiated service from therapy, mentoring, consulting and training processes.
  • The ICF is dedicated to advancing the coaching profession by establishing high ethical standards (11 competencies and a code of ethics), providing independent certification, and building a global network of accredited coaches in a variety of coaching disciplines.”

Thanks to all the participants in the Fair, to all the ICF members who conceived, worked together for several months and made it possible to carry out this great event, thanks to the sponsors who participated, to the media that supported us in spreading the word about what Professional and Ethical Coaching is, and also to the participants who co-created with me and Erica Tamagusuku the workshop “And Now… How? Co-Creation for a Challenging World”!
