Coaching draws on many schools of thought, and the profession of coaching has developed considerably over the 10 years since the Association for Coaching was set up.

This Conference will look at recent developments in some of the fields that have influenced coaching in the past, and introduce some new areas of theory and practice which may influence the development of coaching in the years to come.

An exciting range of academic and practitioner speakers will lead keynote sessions, masterclasses and workshops.
