See Great Coaching in Action. Understand What Makes It Effective.

What distinguishes an effective coaching conversation? What does a skilled coach listen for, how do they respond, and what makes the difference between asking a question and asking the right question?

Join Coach U for a 90-minute live coaching demonstration that takes you beyond theory and into the practice of coaching.

Observe a real coaching conversation unfold, then explore the decisions, skills, and professional competencies that shape the interaction. Guided by experienced Coach U faculty and ICF credentialed coach, you’ll examine the coaching through the lens of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Competencies, gaining a deeper understanding of what effective coaching looks like in practice.

This is an opportunity to observe, reflect, ask questions, and sharpen your understanding of the craft of coaching.

• Live Coaching in Action: Observe a PCC-credentialed coach working with a real client on a meaningful coaching topic.

• Coach and Client Perspectives: Hear reflections that offer additional insight into the coaching experience and its impact.
• Guided Learning and Dialogue: Take part in observation, reflection, and discussion to deepen your understanding of coaching practice.
