Reflection on the evolution of coaching in Hong Kong, taking a multicultural perspective.
As we are approaching the end of 2022, it is a good time to reflect and gain perspectives of where we are at especially in our coaching journey.

I am so pleased to moderate a dedicated and passionate panel of professional coaches for an evening of authentic and engaging dialogue on “The Evolution of Coaching”! We will be taking our unique cultural lens yet as practitioners in Hong Kong for some time to really share how each of us perceives the evolving landscape of coaching.
You are cordially invited to join us in our upcoming ICF HK event on 5th December 2022, Monday for this interesting topic.
