For our Virtual Coach Connect in August 2026, we have our Professional Development Lead, Chris D'Souza, PCC, ACTC facilitating a discussion on 'Self Care for Coaches'

As coaches, we're often focused on holding space for others. This Coach Connect is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and explore how we care for ourselves so we can continue to coach with presence, energy, and purpose.

Join fellow coaches for an open conversation on self-care—sharing reflections, challenges, and practices that help us show up at our best!

This will be an interactive session so come prepared to be engaged.

About Virtual Coach Connect:

We know New Zealand has a special topography, and as many spaces as we have coaches serving in different areas. Because of this logistical intricacy our number one priority is to connect the ICF coaching community across Aotearoa.

Each month there will be different subjects shared related to the business and art of coaching with an opportunity to discuss those subjects with people passionate about coaching.

Come along, as this is a chance to meet and connect, and create a coach community you want to be part of.

Please note, these events are not recorded and therefore no replays are available.
