PROFILE BREAKFAST PANEL DISCUSSION WITH ICF HK: 'COACHING CULTURES - HOW DO THEY ADD VALUE?'
In partnership with the International Coach Federation Hong Kong (ICF HK), we hosted a Breakfast Panel Discussion on: 'Coaching Cultures – How do they add value?'
The panel consisted of four Talent and HR experts (see below for bios) and was facilitated by Daniel Hutchinson, an ICF HK Board Member. Each panellist shared their experience on what has and hasn't worked when engendering a coaching culture within organisations.
Some of the key topics discussed include:
Why do organisations invest in coaching?
How do you get your business case approved?
How to practically implement and assess the impact to the bottom line?
The event was held on Thursday, 11th October 2018 at the China Club in Hong Kong. It was a fantastic turnout with more than 100 Talent and HR professionals in attendance.
