A live coaching demonstration is an opportunity to observe a real coaching conversation between a professional coach and a volunteer client. Unlike a workshop or lecture, the conversation is unscripted, allowing you to experience how coaching unfolds in real time.

Solution-Focused Coaching is a future-oriented coaching approach that helps people clarify what they want, build on their existing strengths and resources, and take meaningful action toward their goals. Rather than analysing problems in depth, the focus is on creating possibilities and sustainable change.

Erickson Coaching International has been a global leader in coach education for more than 40 years. Our Solution-Focused Coaching methodology is built on the belief that people are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. Coaches partner with clients to unlock their own insights rather than giving advice or providing solutions.

• Individuals navigating career or life transitions

• Professional coaches and coaches in training

• Leaders, managers, HR professionals, and anyone wanting to develop more impactful coaching conversations

• Anyone curious about professional coaching
