Coaching…making the difference

Join us in International Coaching Week 2024 to celebrate coaching and how it is making a difference to social change and social leadership in the north east.

You’ll hear inspiring stories of coaching being used in different ways in our region

• growing a coaching culture in our organisation with Tyne Housing
• coaching for service improvement in South Tyneside led by coaches with lived experience of learning disability and/or autism with Your Voice Counts
• coach training for people from Black communities, an initiative to empower Black communities to achieve their full potential through coaching with The Phoenix Way North East and Cumbria
• coaching women learning from the podcast series with Julie Scanlon

You’ll also be able to take part in conversations with each storyteller to explore more deeply. We’ll ask you to choose the conversation you’d like to have nearer the time.

We’ll share more about the North East Coaching Collective and its coaches. We’ll tell the story of , last year’s free coaching offer to the sector, and the difference this free coaching made to the 13 people from small VCSE organisations and people working independently for social change who took part.

Join us to connect, share, learn

• connect – with each other – you might be new to coaching, a coach, curious about coaching, a coaching fan, sceptical about coaching
• share – hear stories and take part in conversations about how others are using coaching in different ways
• learn – about coaching, how coaching can make the difference, how to find a coach, and how you might grow a coaching culture in your organisation

We’re on a mission to grow a coaching culture in our sector in the north east. Let’s do this together.

We'll be gathering from 13:00 for coffee, biscuits and connecting ready for the main event running 13:30-16:00. Sorry we can't offer lunch this time; you're welcome to bring your lunch with you.

This event is hosted by Yes We Can with North East Coaching Collective, North East Together and Newcastle University Business School.
