“In a turbulent world that’s facing social, political and financial crises, ICF coaches are passionate about making a difference and spreading community, care, love and respect”, said Isabelle Maes, ICF’s Senior Regional Service Centre Manager for EMEA. "ICF on Tour is the result of more than 7,000 coaches choosing to join forces across national, cultural and linguistic boundaries and raise awareness of professional coaching."

ICF on Tour will include a variety of virtual and in-person events highlighting four key themes :

• Building organizational coaching cultures

• Executive leadership and Entrepreneurial Coaching

• The science of why and how coaching works

• The power and impact of coaching

ICF on Tour will kick off September 21, 2015, in Brussels, Belgium, with a daylong event featuring keynote presenters Caitlin Walker, the founding director of Training Attention, developer of Systemic Modeling and author of From Contempt to Curiosity, and Jean-François Noubel, founder of the Collective Intelligence Research Institute.
