, we just announced our newest course - Interfluence in Action - launching soon 🎉

Facilitated by Haesun Moon, Interfluence in Action explores the interfluential nature of coaching—how every conversation becomes a co-creative process of shaping meaning, purpose, and progress.

This course bridges the research-to-practice gap, offering tools to both measure and master the craft of coaching conversations. 🫱🏼🫲🏽

You'll learn:

-> How to use communication as a science & art form to create intentional & impactful coaching conversations through the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant (DOQ) framework.
-> The hidden rules of dialogue - including why we say what we say & how that impacts coaching conversations.
-> How meaning is created in conversation, which allows coaches to listen deeply, form better responses & co-create meaningful change with clients.
-> Practical tools & skills you can implement immediately in your next coaching conversation.

Pre-registration for this course is now open! When you pre-register, you'll be the first to know about course updates and exclusive pricing 🙌🏻

The IOC is excited to announce that we are continuing our support of the Sustainability Coaching Coalition - the evolution of the former JGSG-Joint Global Statement Group on Climate Change - a group of global professional bodies in the areas of coaching, coaching psychology, mentoring and supervision who are collaborating for a sustainable and regenerative future.

The group holds a position of radical hope in cultivating optimism and inviting action to drive systemic sustainability.

The Sustainability Coaching Coalition enters this next phase of existence with a renewed sense of purpose. And to help fulfill this purpose, the SCC is planning a series of webinars and roundtable discussions to share about the newly expanded focus, educate on how to engage in sustainability coaching, and encourage people to embrace the opportunity to help create a more sustainable, regenerative world.

Want to coach teams to thrive as self-organising systems? Start with the bigger picture. 🖼

In this evidence-based session with Ro Gorell, we’ll explore the critical role of the coach in helping teams navigate the challenges of self-organisation. As coaches, we often focus on trust and psychological safety—but self-organisation depends on systemic alignment: roles, processes, and organisational culture.

Join us to uncover:
-> Why teams struggle with self-organisation and how to spot the systemic barriers.
-> The role of the coach as a facilitator of systemic change—connecting teams to the organisation around them.
-> Tools and strategies to help teams co-create clarity, build trust, and align processes.

What you’ll gain: A deeper understanding of your role as a coach in fostering team-level and systemic change. Walk away with actionable tools you can apply to help teams move from stuck to self-organised. 👏🏻

We all know how to listen, right? Make eye contact, wait your turn to speak, offer summaries to clarify what you have heard, and ask relevant questions. Although these are helpful, listening is far more than these traditional approaches.

In this on Wednesday, May 7th @ 12:00pm EST, Psychologist and Researcher, Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener and IOC Founder, Carol Kauffman, will discuss a fresh take on listening.

(Hint: It begins with the idea that listeners have intentions, some of which are pro-social, some anti-social, and some self-focused. These intentions, in turn, guide a listener's attention and noticing).
