Giving back to the community with free Coaching During Challenging Times Event on May 17

Make a difference by volunteering as a Coach, and helping find Coachees for this opportunity! 

International Coaching Week (ICW) is an annual world-wide celebration of the power and impact of professional coaching. This year ICW is May 17–23, 2021, and the theme is “Defying Challenging Times”.

As part of ICW, and to expand awareness of the profession of coaching, ICF Oregon is hosting an Experience Coaching During Challenging Times event on May 17.

Our goal is to support the public during these challenging times by offering an experience of coaching.  The desired impact is to support as many people as possible during the event to improve their resilience, provide new ways of thinking and being, and to create a positive ripple effect in the broader community.

The 90-minute event will begin with introductory remarks explaining what coaching is. Then each coachee will be paired with a coach in a private breakout room for a 45-minute laser coaching session, followed by a wrap-up in the main Zoom room with a large group debrief.

How can you help? We’re looking for 50 volunteer coaches, and 50 coachees to take part in the event. Coachees can be anyone who would like the support of a coaching session, is available for the entire event, and can access Zoom.

Date: Monday, May 17

Time: 5:00 – 6:.30 pm PST

Via: Zoom
