  INTERNATIONAL COACHING WEEK 2025

  
  

  Lifting the Mask, Shifting the Story: Working with Master Assessments
  

  Wednesday, May 14, 2025
  12:00PM - 01:30PM CST via Zoom

  CCEs:  1.0 Core Competency, 0.5 Resource Development

  In celebration of International Coaching Week, we’re excited to offer a transformative session that invites coaches to look beneath the surface of their conversations and into the quieter narratives shaping them. This experience is an invitation to deepen your presence, expand your awareness, and reconnect with the subtle yet powerful stories that live in the background—for you and your clients.
  

  About the session:

  What if the real obstacle in your client’s way isn’t their circumstance—but a quiet, powerful story they’ve been living inside, often without realizing it?

  In this experiential session, we’ll explore the ontological coaching concept of Master Assessments—those deeply rooted beliefs we hold about ourselves, like “I’m not enough,” “I’m too much,” “I’m broken,” or even “I’m special.” These aren’t just passing thoughts. They live in the body, shape our moods, and echo in our language and predispose us to certain actions and limit other. They influence what we believe is possible, often without our conscious awareness.

  As coaches, recognizing these Master Assessments in our clients—and ourselves—is a profound step toward transformation. In this session, you'll not only learn how to listen for Master Assessments and how they show up in coaching conversations, but you’ll also be guided through a gentle, reflective process to uncover your own.

  With curiosity and compassion, we’ll explore how these narratives may influence your coaching presence and impact. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how these beliefs shape perception, a set of tools to help clients name and shift their Master Assessments, and a greater awareness of your own internal narrative and its impact on your coaching and your life.

  We invite you to come with curiosity and a willingness to explore personally and as a coach the power of unseen perspectives and the possibilities they may hold for you and your coachees.
  

  About the speaker:

  Barb Eisele is a seasoned PCC and transformational facilitator with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate reinvention, align with their purpose, and bring forward their truest selves. A mentor coach, health and wellness coach, and ontological practitioner, she brings a rare blend of skill, soulful presence, fierce love, and playful wisdom to every room she enters.

  Years ago, she discovered her own Master Assessment—the quiet backstage voice whispering, “You don’t matter.” That voice had been directing her life from the shadows, keeping her in roles that felt safe but small. That powerful discovery had her step out from behind the curtain and onto center stage. As she rewrote her inner script, she reclaimed her power, her presence, and her purpose. Today, she helps other coaches recognize and work with these hidden narratives—both in themselves and in their clients—with courage, clarity, and compassion.

  Her coaching practice is grounded in the belief that even in the face of fear, loss, or uncertainty, people can reclaim their power, purpose, and voice. From laying herself off in a moment of radical clarity, to overcoming the loss of a business and home, to navigating a health crisis, she has walked the path of reinvention with courage and grace—and now helps others do the same. Whether she is coaching mid-career women to find purpose in their work or mentoring coaches to uplevel their skills, she is known for her soulful presence, deep listening, and real-world insight, Barb creates safe, transformative spaces where coaches and clients alike can lift the mask, shift the story, and reclaim their deepest truth.

  INTERNATIONAL COACHING WEEK 2025

  
  

  Dancing with the Liquid Accordion: Coaching In, With and Through the Body!

  Thursday, May 15, 2025
  12:00PM - 01:30PM CST via Zoom

  CCEs: 1.25 Core Competency, 0.25 Resource Development

  In celebration of International Coaching Week, we’re thrilled to offer a special session that invites coaches to expand their range and reconnect with one of our most powerful tools—the body.

  Join us for an experiential exploration that honors the depth and diversity of coaching.

  About the session:

  Many coaches have either never heard of coaching in, with, and through the body, or they’ve heard of it but have little idea of what that actually means—let alone how to do it.

  In this highly interactive session, Croft Edwards, MCC, Ontological and Somatic Coach, will take fellow coaches on a journey to explore the why, the where/what, and the how of coaching in, with, and through the body. The culmination of the call will be a group coaching session where participants will be coached live using a practical and repeatable method that allows them to experience this approach for themselves.

  Participants will not only get to experience being coached in the body, but they can then take that experience and immediately apply it to their own coaching toolkit to add value for their clients.

  Please join us for a fun, enlightening, and profound coaching experience in your own “liquid accordion”—your body.

  About the speaker:

   Croft Edwards, MCC, has been coaching for over 25 years and is the owner of CROFT + Company, Inc., a leadership and change coaching and consulting firm based in Albuquerque, NM.

  An MCC since 2011, Croft coaches in fields as diverse as the U.S. military, manufacturing, health care, entrepreneurship, and start-ups. He coaches at all levels of organizations—from CEOs and Admirals to frontline leaders and individuals. He has been mentor coaching for over 10 years in four different ICF-certified coach training programs and mentors ICF coaches at Levels 1, 2, and 3. He has mentored over 500 individuals around the world.

  MAY CHAPTER MEETING AND SPEAKER!

  
  

  Holding the Mirror: The Power of Coaching Supervision
  

  Tuesday, May 27, 2025
  6:00PM - 8:00PM CST via Zoom

  CCEs: 1.5 Core Competency, 0.5 Resource Development

  If you joined us for our in-person book exchange back in March, you might’ve had the chance to meet Erin Randall—and, like us, been delighted to discover her passion for Coaching Supervision (among other things!). We’re thrilled to welcome Erin as our guest for the May monthly meeting, and we’d love for you to join us!
  

  About the session:

  As coaching matures, so do the practices, skills, and capabilities that we bring to our craft. Some of us specialize in non-profits, others in leadership, and others yet in coaching teams. So many of us work diligently in service of our clients, working to practice at a higher level. But what is coaching supervision, and what does it have to do with me? Coaching supervision is the continuing development of a coach and their work. It is a collaborative dialogue within a reflective space that focuses on the coach's work, the issues that arise, and the practice of being a coach or leader. As part of this session, we'll look at what coaching supervision is, why it is necessary, and how it can help all of us step closer to the coaches we want to be. Additionally, we'll examine how advances in coaching affect how we think about the stances we take as practitioners and where these fit in current coaching models and frameworks. This will be an interactive session, including a demo of coaching supervision. Please bring your questions and your curiosity. This speaker loves to interact with the audience!

  About the speaker:

  Erin Randall is a veteran organizational, agile, and coactive coach, a coaching supervisor, and holds a veritable alphabet soup of credentials. She listens for what is emerging in people and systems, helping to make change bearable, sustainable, and even enjoyable. For over ten years, she has partnered with organizations, leaders, executive teams and boards, and other coaches from around the world, including at companies such as Roche, Texas A&M University, IBM, Charles Schwab, and more.

  She is all about happy people doing great work. Erin is an active believer in servant-leadership. She is one of the cofounders of the Agile Coaching Circles, and she makes mentorship a regular part of her coaching work. Throughout the year, she actively mentors three individuals that are trying to achieve specific goals in their work.

  Erin is a certified Organizational, Relationship, and Systems coach (ORSC-C), a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), an expert agile coach (ICE-AC), is credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF-PCC), and is an accredited coaching supervisor (EMCC & ESIA). Additionally, she serves on the faculty of CRR Global, Inc., and has completed advanced training in social justice and decolonization, Embodied Leadership (Strozzi Institute), facilitation, conflict management, and visual communication. In 2025, she will complete her diploma in Organizational Leadership through Oxford University’s Said School of Business. She is always looking for skills, practices, and tools to bring forth in service of her work.

  Erin splits her time between Austin, Texas, and rural Montana. She can often be found in bookstores, on hiking trails with her dogs, or on a long-distance road trip somewhere in the American west. She’s also really, really good at Zoom.
