Forum Highlights
ICF Philippines hosted Transforming the Future of Work through Leadership and Coaching, an online forum that shared and celebrated the transformational impact of coaching and leadership, as well as new ways of working in our ever-evolving world of work. As we experience the continuous shift in focus to diversity, psychological safety, and well-being amidst rapid digitalization, we believe that coaching is an essential and foundational way of leading and being, not just for leaders, but for all employees.
This was held online via Airmeet from July 20 (Wed) to 22 (Fri), 2022 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. The forum featured esteemed speakers in the ICF local and global community, thought-leaders in the field of HR and management from the Ateneo Center of Continuing Education and AIM School of Executive Education and Lifelong Learning, and our Prism Award Honoree and Runners-up who shared their stories on how they built successful coaching cultures in their organization.
Coaches who participated in the event also earn up to 8.5 ICF Continuing Coach Education Units.
