Coaching aims to maximize clients’ potential, but what is possible when the coach serves the whole system’s potential? As a coach, how can we have an extended vision and see our interconnectedness with the whole system while doing coaching with an individual or collective client? How can we activate our sensibility with regard to what the whole system needs?
In my perspective, professional coaches have the responsibility to model inclusive leadership by nurturing sensibility to the needs of others, themselves, and the whole system at the same time. On the one hand, I see the competency of being pragmatic, present in the reality of the client, as useful; on the other hand, I see the competency of being sensitive to interconnectedness and the needs of the system that the client is part of.
I invite coaches and leaders to consider nurturing their sensitivity when acting as a coach or as a leader. The objective of this invitation is to increase the awareness of professional coaches and leaders towards inclusive leadership and to consider system thinking as part of their services.
By the end of the presentation, the participants will connect with the following results:

Leadership is about making good decisions, doing the right thing and taking people with you. Not an easy task and that is why more and more leaders are turning to coaching to support their thinking.
In this interactive session we will revisit the ICF Code of Ethics and consider how they support us as Leadership Coaches. We will consider the ethics and challenges of leadership and how these are expressed in our leadership coaching conversations.
We will seek to consider building blocks that set up the environment to support transformational dialogue and result in purpose-driven decisions and bold actions?
