Description of session: Content and Outcomes
Golf is the only global sport that focuses it's attention on adults with ancillary programs for youth.

This interactive workshop will spark the beginning of a golf specific youth development system at each coaches club or facility.

Coaches will learn how to engage families with full services as a community based golf club like they would find at their local swim, soccer club etc.

Learning outcomes and points of interest include:

Understanding an holistic approach to golf coaching i.e. Competition preparation, yearly training plans, parent education and the inclusion of the four LTAD performance pillars; Mental, physical, tactical and technical in their program offerings.
Revenue generation for coaches (on average could generate triple what they currently make from youth coaching utlizing a complete pyramid of development)
Realistic Spin off revenues for the club or facility: F&B sales, Club sales, Adult lessons, new members/players and tee time sales = better quality of life for coaches
Higher frequency of younger more developed talent at each club - yielding over time, many more elite athletes.
Leveraging current club programs
Viable solutions of club rejuvenation and sustainability.

The key focus, is building a program that caters to the whole family and all families - a youth based development program is what parents are use to seeing in the other sports they play. We want golf to be one of them.

Speakers bio
I’m the Inner Leadership Coach, Psychotherapist, Speaker and Author of Whack Around The Head – Purpose Passion and Power at Work Right Now! Wanting to be a writer and actress, I bamboozled myself in my 20s into a corporate career through a desire for ‘normality and respectability’.

Several metaphorical whacks around the head later, in my 30s I embarked on higher education, following a calling, and studied psychology. I later qualified as a psychotherapist, and then as a coach and trainer.

My credentials include MA (Psychotherapy), Coach, & Certified Trainer (INLPTA), BACP Accredited & UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, Member Institute of Directors, European Mentoring & Coaching Council, Applied Psychology Association and Charter Member International Positive Psychology Association.

Today, I run my own seminar programmes, work with individuals and teams and present around the UK. And I’m passionate about helping people who want to discover and live the ‘more than’ in themselves and their life.

Indeed, some people refer to me as a Sorceress for the ability to weave what appears like magic with those with whom I work: turning lack lustre thinking and behaviours into impassioned and empowered ways of living.

How I learned that giving it away was a sure fire way to prosperity and fulfilment as a coach

Format of session
Workshop (one speaker, very interactive)

Description of session: Content and Outcomes
For years I have been bothered by the gross monetization of everything in our modern culture. Overly influenced (in my view) by American thinking there has been some widely promoted perspectives such as “If someone does not pay for something they don’t value it”, “Giving your services away devalues them.”, “Only new / beginners coaches and those who have low self esteem give away coaching”. There are more but these will do.

In this session I will take a look at how these types of perspectives block true coach expression, work against the most important tool of all good coaches compassion and why I was taught much of this my meeting one of the USA’s most successful coaches.

"Coaching Young Adults", Brad Wilmot

2011-08-19T17:27:00.000+02:00

Speakers bio
Brad Wilmot is first and foremost the proud and ecstatically happy father of Mandy's and his young Son, Jack, born in July 2007. Jack's arrival into their lives, ten years in the making, is regarded by both parents to be the most sensational, rewarding and thrilling event possible, and when asked: "What has changed in your life since having children?", Brad simply replies: "The fact that I talk about my Son all the time!"

Brad has been fortunate enough to enjoy a highly successful career in banking, IT, marketing and finance and his diverse corporate experience in these fields allow him to operate from a unique vantage point in coaching. In the early 2000’s, Brad founded Personal Journeys (Pty) Ltd, a company that specialises in the field of human sciences. The company’s services include team-building exercises, specialist training courses, executive and life coaching, research engagements, psychometric assessments and broad-based facilitation interventions. He holds a number of degrees and diplomas in commerce, marketing and finance, has several post-graduate qualifications in training and coaching to his name, and is a certified coach with the ICF.

Brad has always had a passion for people and more so for being a catalyst in assisting people to live their lives to maximum potential. He is primarily involved in coaching young adults and has almost ten years experience in this arena. Brad’s works takes him from private schools to university campuses, and then on to coaching these same clients in the corporate world once they have made the leap from tertiary education to a chosen career path. It has taken hard work, perseverance and continuous research and innovation to be in the position where he humbly works with around five hundred clients a year in a very demanding yet rewarding job.

Brad is a self-confessed addict for living life to the full, and remains ever-grateful to his wife for her continued understanding and patience! Brad and Mandy own a farm in the coastal town of Paternoster in the Western Cape, which is their true home away from home. Brad is a notably successful breeder of Golden Retrievers, or his four-legged children as Mandy calls them, and he regularly sojourns to Paternoster with his 'Golden Girls' to raise a litter of puppies or to watch them swim in the bay at sunset. Brad has had a life-long passion for Mercedes Benz and treasures a carefully chosen collection of these fabulous motor cars that constantly require new batteries due to lack of use!

It's the simple things in life that keep Brad alive, motivated and inspired: the love for his wife and son, the appreciation and special relationship with his Golden Retrievers, the adventure and enjoyment received from many different hobbies, and the pursuit of true happiness by living somewhere special and touching people's lives every day.

"How I Mastered the Man in the Mirror", Johannes Starke

2011-08-18T22:27:00.001+02:00

Speakers bio
Johannes is a high-performance coach, trained at the prestigious Coaches Training Institute, who helps his clients to achieve high and positive energy levels while maintaining superior productivity. He recently joined Collaborative Leaders, a group of executive coaches that focus on teaching collaboration to teams as well as individuals. In his one-on-one coaching practice, his clients are individuals who long for a more positive, energetic lifestyle.

Johannes transitioned into coaching when he faced a major challenge in his life. Had he not faced an illness that caused him enough suffering to explore a life changing path, he may have continued his career in process engineering. While exploring psychology, he used Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), meditation, and coaching to improve his quality of life and begin a healing journey. By incorporating these techniques into his daily life, he was able to transform the challenges of that time into an opportunity for growth.

Because he started out coaching when he had not yet fully recovered from his illness, he faced another challenge of having little energy for his work. This led him to spend the next four years studying the best of high-performance living, drastically improving his energy capacity and productivity each day.

He now teaches these powerful techniques to help his clients fully connect to their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual sources of energy. He also teaches motivation, organization, and prioritization techniques to help clients make the most of their energy levels and potential.

Format of session
Lecture (one speaker, not so interactive)

Description of session: Content and Outcomes
Last year at the GCC2010, I spoke about how frequently clients who are referred to me who have had little, if any, exposure to coaching previously. Those who have heard of coaching often have a superficial or “skewed” understanding of what it really is and how it can have an impact on them both personally and professionally. As part of my Master’s degree, I have undertaken research on this topic, to try and gain a fuller understanding of why there is a public misperception about coaching.

In early 2011 I asked participants to undertake a survey based on my research. This lecture will talk through some of the outcomes and insight that this research has generated.

The lecture will end with a series of questions, designed to leave the participant to consider how they contribute to the lack of clarity within our industry.

Everyday Magic
Using the power of transformative ritual to enrich your (and your clients') life, work and relationships

Format of session
Workshop (one speaker, very interactive)

Description of session:
Content and Outcomes
I began my study of ritual (which later became the foundation of my Master’s thesis) at the same time that I first encountered coaching 15 years ago. I was intrigued, then delighted, to discover the correlations between the two, and have woven them together ever since. During our time together, you will:

learn the basic structure and ingredients of transformative ritual and how they correspond to coaching principles
discover how to create the sacred space within which "magic" can occur
how to use the power of symbols to manifest your intentions
powerful, practical ways to ground your dreams in reality
If possible, please bring a candle and a small object you’d like to imbue with a special intention and we’ll create a little magic of our own!

I am applying parts of her work in what I do. I love to see my customer´s life take quantum leaps. I guide them to become the best they can be, to get in touch with their inner potential, to connect to the super consciousness or highest intelligence that is available to all of us and to create the life that they want. I especially love working with visionaries, people who are creating the now in this moment!

Description of session: Content and Outcomes

Talking about businesses, barely 25% of the people are happy with what they do in their job. The results are: Burn out or health problems and a low loyalty to the company they work for. How do we turn this situation around? We need to change the general belief that work is just what it is, the way we look at ourselves and we need to come to the conclusion that finding a sense in what we do “makes sense”

This workshop will allow you to:
Learn how to find your calling or getting in touch with it and seeing it from a bigger perspective!
Become what you really are!
Make the first step to make this a reality!

The good news is also, that you will get to experience exercises which you can do again later to:
Get in touch with your biggest potential
Get in touch with your highest intelligence
Get in touch with the limitless possibilities field where all your dreams can come true!

Beginner's Mind

Format of session
Seminar (one speaker, quite interactive)

Description of session: Content and Outcomes
Ian Young will be talking about the concept of beginners mind and how you can apply this both in your coaching practise and life. The continuous challenge in coaching is how do we ensure we are fully present with a client and go with what is in the moment with out discounting our own experience, noticing, thoughts and feelings.

The concept of Beginners Mind can support us with this. and take our practice to the next level. Beginners mind supports coaching as a cognitive theory and an embodied sensory practice of knowing. I believe both are important to support and client fully.

Shape of the talk

Introduction
of me, my organisation and shape of the talk

What is Beginners Mind ?
How to apply and work with beginners mind.
How to integrate beginners mind in to your practice.
What is the Impact for me (the coach) them (the client) and us (the community/organisation)?

Some of the possible takeaways are
- a greater understanding of the concept
- enough knowledge to experiment with beginners mind and be able to integrate it in to their practice.
- a new perspective about what makes an effective coach

"Bringing Wholeness", Miki Yoshino

2011-08-10T22:15:00.001+02:00

Speakers bio

Miki is a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach based in Japan. Her life purpose is revealing wholeness that is already there, to the world. She has offered the joy of living freely and authentically in any kind of culture for almost five years. She has helped people who need to manage life's pressures.

She strongly believe that "wholeness is only experienced through diversity". Her first experience with diversity occurred when she was 4 years old after her family moved to western Japan from eastern Japan. After entering kindergarten, she was picked on because of her "strange" Tokyo dialect. Because of that, she has always been interested in exploring and celebrating diversity through studying French and English, volunteering for handicapped people and foreigners in Japan. Also she was strongly attracted to a diverse community and she went to a graduate school to examine that.

She found the same philosophy regarding diversity and wholeness within The Coaches Training Institute and therefore became a life and business coach. In 2009, she took part in a leadership program in Spain because she sought a diverse community. Through that program, she could meet people from 18 countries and realized her life purpose. To align with her life purpose, she started to host the "Global Conversation Circle" with people from eight countries; the U.K., Spain, Sweden, Germany, Japan, the U.S., Canada and Brazil since March 11.

Bringing Wholeness
Let's reveal the world which was already whole !

Format of session
Workshop (one speaker, very interactive)

Description of session: Content and Outcomes
This is a special version of Global Conversation Circle. Also this workshop was created from Miki's experience of the Tsunami and Earthquake on March 11 in Japan. What you will experience through this workshop as a global citizen is a reflection of a larger world. You will be aware of the importance of "staying" rather than "understanding". We stay in the present together, so we can experience and overcome misunderstanding. We can be curious about how we are different. And we can share how much we are different. It supports all of us to see myself in you and yourself in me.

After this workshop, you will pause and reflect in your heart and body, before you think and act in the usual way. Because we will walk in each other's shoes through this workshop, we can share how much we are different and how easy or difficult it is for us to understand each other. And that is why we need each other. Life itself is a treasure. We need to live fully and take responsibility for other living things as a human being. For that we need to transform ourselves.

Getting Unstuck: Turn Your Obstacles into Assets for Greater Success

Format of session
Seminar (one speaker, quite interactive)

Description of session: Content and Outcomes
Human beings tend to bump up against obstacles regularly – both those created by external circumstances as well as those manufactured in our own minds. The perspective from which the obstacle is viewed makes a tremendous difference in our ability to overcome it. Often, we regard obstacles as “bad” or negative.

Being open to the possibility that an obstacle may be an opportunity gives you the power to view the situation through a different lens and, quite possibly, to make a new and better choice.

During this presentation, participants will discover how each obstacle they encounter has a hidden asset they can use to enhance their career, business or organizational success. Participants will:

Learn how to identify the asset in an obstacle.
Understand when an obstacle may signal a new path.
Uncover how to reap the benefits of being stuck.

"From Zero to Hero", Paula Tresintus

2011-08-09T19:05:00.004+02:00

Speaker Bio

My name is Paula Tresintsis, I live in Adelaide South Australia. I am married with one child.

I have always been interested in helping people, ever since I can remember. I have worked in office jobs and found that I lost creativity doing the same thing day in day out.

In 2003, I became a Personal Trainer and worked for myself for 4 years, helping people with their fitness. While I was training these people, I found there were similar patterns in their behaviours. They had “blockages”, they would reach a certain point in the exercise session or even after a few sessions and they would give up. This is when I realised that that there is more to exercise, there is the mind, body connection.

So I started to “coach” them in my own way - this led to amazing breakthroughs with them. I found that talking to them and finding out what their goals and aspirations were put a whole different spin on the sessions. So I formalized my qualifications by becoming a qualified Life Coach which I have now done. I now have my Certificate 4 in Life Coaching. I am also qualified as a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, Deep State Re-patterning Practitioner and Performance Coach - I am still studying with The Coaching Institute in Australia, and will be completing my Diploma in May 2012.

I now am helping women with their fertility issues, particularly in Mindset. Fertile Dreams has been conceived from personal experience.

Coaching at the Quantum Level

Format of Session :- Workshop, two speakers, experiential and interactive

Description of session:- Content and Outcomes
In this experiential session we will be using Quantum Intelligence (QI) to access your knowing, passion and vision and to enable you to be fully present, in flow and aware, and to be so at will. These elements are the key to taking your coaching to this transformational level.

Quantum level Coaching is about being fully connected to all of who you are, and then connecting with your client’s full potential and bringing this into reality.

We offer a ground-breaking body of work using a unique combination of powerful techniques which can easily be integrated into your existing way of coaching. You will learn how to use transformational Quantum energy to coach and lead individuals and groups

Our inspiration is motivated by the belief that by connecting with our energy field and using the energy around us we can develop greater awareness, tap into our creativity, vision and passion, enable the realisation of our own potential and establish a connection to the potential in others. By living with this greater awareness and being connected to the world in this way we have the ability to access a heightened level, that of Quantum intelligence.

You are likely to have fun and a transformative experience in this session!

"GCC Opening Speech", Martin Richards - Visionary Organiser of the GCCs

2011-08-08T22:10:00.001+02:00

I conceived, designed and built the GCC to fulfill a Dream of global connection.

And in the doing so I have found coaches to be the most wonderful collaborators. They are willing to give of their time and expertise to make this Dream come true. I believe that this is a Dream shared by all the people who come to the GCC - the Speakers and the Participants. We have the sense that coaches can make a positive difference to the world by being exactly who we are, and supporting others to become free, to become who they are.

It seemed an almost impossible task to set myself... "I will run the next conference around the clock, around the world". I had made the promise in 2010, and we achieved it, sort of.

We certainly ran around the clock and around the world! But only eight hours a day. That was quite an achievement.

When I sat down in April and designed the schedule for the GCC2011 it had sixty two-hour sessions, and that seemed a tall order to fill.

And here we are in July - done! (almost)

The lesson I have learned is. Set huge goals, and expect miracles.

I hope you do too

Global Coach Events Calendar

2010-10-25T20:34:00.014+02:00

As a Speaker at the GCC you probably know about the beneficial synergies of having your events visible alongside other coaches' events. When people look at one GCC Coach's events they can also see your events; and can freely choose which events to join.

PRESENTING

the Global Coach Events Calendar

I have created the Global Coach Events Calendar so that you can display your coaching-related events alongside those being run by the other GCC Coaches - all year, all around the globe. You administer your events yourself. The calendar is respectfully shared by the GCC Speakers.

How do you use it?
There are two things to do, Edit and Display.

EDIT
How do you put your events on the Global Coach Events Calendar?
Once you have the password, you can log in and then add and edit your own events. In the description you can include a brief intro and a link to your website where people can sign up for example.

DISPLAY
How can people see your events in their local times?
You can add your choice of calendar to your website or blog!

The Calendar is Global - What about time zones?
That's easy. The calendar is based on London Time.

When you EDIT there is a solution that allows you to see the time in other parts of the world.
When you DISPLAY the calendar on your website or blog, you simply use the versions you need. There are "local time" versions of the calendar for Pacific, Eastern, UK, India, China and Australia.
All versions of the calendar have the same events - displayed with correct local times. See the examples below.

What does it cost?
Until 2011 this service is cost free, after that if you want to continue it will cost 100 USD for 2011. This money will be used to further support the work with the GCC.

The Power of Coaching in Education

2010-10-25T09:35:00.000+02:00

During the GCC2010 I had the honour of working with Keith Miller...

Keith Miller is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and the Director of Education Programs for the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).

Listening to the Echoes of GCC2010

2010-10-21T14:37:00.015+02:00

I have been spending a 'few hours' editing the forty or so raw recordings. I am clipping off the first few minutes of chatter as people came online, as well as the last few hurried "goodbyes" before the session gets cut off. All this is taking time... and in November the whole conference will be published on the GCC website.

I am using Audacity of course!

Words: Maestro > GCC > Freeconference

2010-10-13T14:07:00.004+02:00

Just so you know that Maestro Conference is quickly and honestly owning up to the mess on Monday when we had to move all the sessions to Freeconference.

Maestro Conference > GCC
"On behalf of the MaestroConference team I'd like to express our sincere apology for the technical issue that occurred early this morning... the timing couldn't have been worse for you ..."

And the GCC had a few words to say to Freeconference
"We moved a LOT of sessions in a BIG hurry from Maestro to Freeconference... Your service saved my reputation as a conference organiser."

Tuesday 12th
Nine sessions, back to back. What a smooth day! I have deeply enjoyed the conversations, information and inspiration from hearing coaches share their perspectives on coaching. We now have the recordings to look forward to. Recorded sessions Want a copy? Go here

Smooth Operator

2010-10-12T16:53:00.000+02:00

We have been running the GCC sessions through Freeconference today... and it's been smooooooth running all day. Like a long journey on a train, having conversations with some cool coaches about how human awareness is evolving on the planet and how we are instrumental in easing that evolution.

When we call in to Freeconference we are entertained by music... "Smooth Operator", by Sade

Yesterday - all my troubles seemed so far away

2010-10-12T09:44:00.002+02:00

After the Speakers Briefing on Sunday, on Skype, I felt quite sure that the Conference would run smoothly. All fifty professional coaches were taking care of all the details of their inspirational sessions, sending out materials, e-mailing participants, keeping track of phone numbers, and dozens of pins.

And boom!
During Monday 11th October we sent 173 people crashing into a conference line that didn't work. You can imagine their disappointment, confusion and irritation. Not to mention the expense of calling the same US number several times only to hear beep-beep-beep. Not quite what we had in mind.

And then the e-mails came!
At the same time as I was listening to the beeps, chatting on Skype with those who knew my Skypename coach.martin.richards there was an influx of e-mails asking what had happened to the Conference. Most of the e-mails were polite and constructive - lots of ideas!

The reason for the crash - in case it's of interest
The server at Maestro had crashed - and nobody there knew about it because they were asleep.
(The Conference started 3am Pacific time)

So what's next?
We have a Backup Plan (hastily asembled and implemented following an idea and support from Anthony Eldridge Rogers - thanks Ant). We moved the whole conference to Freeconference. Genius!

Every session (except two) now have the same phone number and PIN
Phone number, 1 - 219 - 509 - 8222
PIN 149233#

Exceptions
1) Wednesday How to get your clients to “Change for Good” by using this simple method, Jayne Blumenthal
Phone 1 - 270 - 696 2525

2) Thursday "Horses, Coaching and Wow..." Monique Morimoto Flaherty
Phone 1 - 270 - 400 - 2000

Inspiration and Perspiration
If success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration, we should be on to a winning combination!

Maestro? I don't think so

2010-10-11T19:34:00.000+02:00

I have no confidence in Maestro

Having put a significant amount of time and energy into moving over 1000 bookings from Eventbrite to Maestro we have experienced the lowest possible level of service.

None of the conference sessions could be run through Meastro, none.
No response to e-mails sent to their "Customer Support", none

At least they are consistent!

Here's what they claim on their website
"At MaestroConference, we are driven by a commitment to customer success and dedicated to a great customer experience. Our goal is to provide you with all the necessary resources to become a Maestro. We strive to make our service number one in every way and welcome your feedback and suggestions."

I suggest that they turn up for work!

Counting down in hours

2010-10-09T12:24:00.000+02:00

There's a calmness about today that I didn't expect. Since there's so little time to make adjustments and check vital information I was half expecting a rush of e-mails asking for PINS and support. The GCC e-mail "IN" tray is empty.

Conclusion: All the Speakers are professionals and have got everything under control.

I shall spend today in the sunshine and wait for the GCC2010 to be born on Sunday afternoon.

Almost Sunday 10-10-10

2010-10-07T21:06:00.000+02:00

One of the key reasons for the GCC2010 starting this Sunday is the prettiness of the date. It's a date that works in all the participating countries, some of which write the date with the month at the start, others with the month in the middle.

10-10-10 has also inspired others

and

GCC2011
And guess what the starting date is for next year?
Yes, you guessed it 11-11-11, and it's a Friday.

18 pages of PINS and names

2010-10-04T14:52:00.000+02:00

No wonder my head has been in a spin for the past couple of weeks. I just printed out the list of GCC sessions, with the PIN codes for each of the named Speakers and Hosts. It turned out to be 18 pages long.

What's the learning here? Obviously when there's two or three people involved in each session, and there's 50 sessions that adds upto a lot of people to keep track of. And most, if not all, of that information is gathered in one place - my head. Thank goodness for fast printers! And I realise that I need to spread that info to the others in the GCC Team. The success of this conference depends on me keeping healthy for the next two weeks.

So - a fat e-mail will be sent to the GCC Team, NOW

Speakers + Hosts = GCC

2010-10-03T15:07:00.001+02:00

I'm adding a Host to each of the 50 GCC sessions

Martin Richards

Collaboration at the highest level.
Many of this year's Speakers have volunteered to Host, ie introduce another Speaker, hold the Q&A session, move the participants into small groups and generally serve the Speaker during their session.

Fast and Efficient
It took three months to organise the Speakers - and has taken three weeks to organise the Hosts. Mostly thanks to Dorothy Eckes for holding the Excel sheet of Speakers and Hosts.

Dorothy Eckes

And a mention too for Anthony Eldridge Rogers for spotting the errrrrrorrs.

Anthony Eldridge Rogers

and of course, Soleira Green, for positive feedback (just when I need it).

Soleira Green

The above people are the GCC Team who have created this year's conference.
Nearly there... draft schedule with Hosts is on GCC website.

On a more personal note

2010-09-28T10:25:00.000+02:00

As we get closer to this massive virtual conference I notice that I am becoming more focused on logistics, numbers and facts; answering questions, solving problems and generally dealing with the "nitty gritty" of co-ordinating a thousand participants. We must be nearly "there".

At the same time...
I am swimming in JOY at watching the GCC grow and begin to make its impact the world. People from around the world are sending me e-mails with thanks, appreciation, encouragement and also admiration. Yes, I / we have created something wonderful that speaks to many hundreds of people (mainly coaches), and I am happy to share that joyful creation with so many amazing coaches. Just look at you! Look at us. Is this what I wanted to create? Yes. And thanks for doing that with me.

passed the THOUSAND target

2010-09-27T18:17:00.000+02:00

It's always a joy (= dopamine buzz) when you achieve or exceed a goal.

KEYNOTE SPEECH with Shelle Rose Charvet

2010-09-20T10:11:00.000+02:00

I usually dislike competitions, and I seem to be fascinated by numbers especially when they get closer to a goal. The target for the number of participants at the GCC 2010 is a thousand, and today there are 885 tickets booked. We have widened the rooms to make space for 40-50 people at the time, and have a total of 2330 places available. We don't aim to fill the spaces, we aim to fill the participants with experience, energy, and enthusiasm for what coaches and coaching can do for the world.

Most booked session (so far)

KEYNOTE SPEECH with Shelle Rose Charvet
Every person is different. The coaching world has developed many approaches, but at the heart of every methodology is the aim of helping people reach their full potential. International speaker, author and coach, Shelle Rose Charvet opens the 2010 Global Coach Conference with her insights into how to create positive changes through language.

Three Weeks to Go - Moving to Maestro

2010-09-18T12:41:00.001+02:00

We are moving into the last phase now, and moving to Maestro

There's just three weeks to go and we this weekend we are moving all the Speakers to the Maestro Conference system, and then on 2nd October we shall move the Participants there too. This will give everyone a unique PIN code. The Speakers get a special PIN code, so that we can readily identify them in the Main Conference Room. The Participants will get their unique PIN codes so when can see when they arrive and when they have a question to ask, in the Conductor's Panel. See below.

This is what the Maestro Conference Conductor's Panel looks like.
You can see that the Presenters and Assistants have different colours to the other people on the call, that's what makes it easier to identify them. The hands to the right of the names are used to show who needs help, wants to ask a question, or give their opinion. Maestro is an exciting development in teleconferencing, and we are exploring its potential at the GCC.

By the way 823 tickets have now been booked, and that's only 48% of the conference capacity.
There are 917 tickets waiting for you and your friends at www.globalcoachconferencecom.eventbrite.com

Missed the train?

2010-09-17T08:11:00.001+02:00

We are not adding any more speakers to the GCC 2010. It was decided (for selfish reasons of avoiding a work overload) in August; that on 10th September we would allow only minor additions and corrections to the GGC 2010 Schedule.

But if you didn't get the news in time, if you thought too long about whether or not you should speak, or couldn't make your mind up what you would speak about... If you missed the deadline, remember this

It is now possible to add your name to the growing list of speakers for GCC 2011. The conference starts on 11-11-11

All we ask is that you deliver a heartfelt, clear description of how you see coaching being used in your community, for the benefit of people and organisations.

You can give a lecture, run a workshop or lead an open panel discussion. There should preferably be plenty of interaction between you and the audience, before, during and after the conference session.

Sessions can be 1 - 4 hours long; can stand alone or be part of a series during the conference week, you can attract people to existing books, courses and other services as long as you are generous during the conference.

By the way 743 tickets have now been booked, and the size of many sessions has been doubled to 40 places. The figures are now 74% of target and 43% of the available tickets.

Shaking and Moving the World

2010-09-16T07:39:00.002+02:00

It's an earthquake!

Maestro Training Call

2010-09-15T21:15:00.001+02:00

It was a learning call rather than a training call!

Lessons Learned
There were quite a few

The Speakers need clear instructions on how to get on to the call.
The Participants need clear instructions on how to get on to the call, and how to "mute" their phone, ask for help etc.
Not every Speaker needs the flexibility that Meastro offers
Skype is a useful backup for communication between the Host and the Speaker and can be used for urgent messages between them
The participant dashboard would have been helpful (and should have worked)
Calling in by Skype is OK, and it sometimes doesn't work. Best that the Speaker call in on a landline.
It's useful to start with an open line (standard conference call) and ask Participants to "mute" from their phone, and use their keypad to "press 5" to ask for help
Repeating "press 5" for help is necessary at the start of the call (also say in the instructions that it might take a few seconds for the Host to get to them)
Breakouts groups are fun and generate lots of energy (chaos too, for a while)
Small groups of 4-5 are better than pairs, since some people may get a silent / missing partner
... anything else YOU want to add? Mail us!

Audio and Animation

2010-09-15T14:08:00.001+02:00

I was asked to provide an audio presentation of the GCC in 30 seconds, for airing on a local radio station in the US. Having never done this kind of thing before, I practiced for two hours and delivered a very professional "sound bite".

Here, for fun, are my practice recordings

Promo #2
Promo #3
Promo #4

Then I finally came to terms with Movie Maker, and added animated text to the audio clips.

A kink in the curve, to 35% available, 50% target

2010-09-13T16:46:00.002+02:00

Is there a word for this kind of LEAP ???

After some promotional efforts over the weekend the graph showing the number of tickets booked took an unusually large weekend leap, to 35% available, 50% target. In real terms that's 501 seats filled by an enthusiastic audience in participation of the experience and excitement generated by over forty of the world's most powerful coaches.

Wow! What a productive weekend

2010-09-13T08:14:00.000+02:00

You might think - from reading the recent posts - that I do nothing but stare at the GCC bookings site, waiting for people to choose sessions that they want to listen to. Tickets, tickets, tickets... and you'd be half right. I only spend half of my time looking at ticket bookings.

During the other half of my time I make other things... this weekend I made bottles of rhubarb drink (non alcoholic) from 3kg rhubarb sticks...

to 3 litre bottles of smashing "summer in a bottle" rhubarb drink - for the whole family.

Oh, and by the way, ticket bookings for the Global Coach Conference are now 34% of available, 49% of target, and we have one month to go.

30% or 43% which figure is most correct?

2010-09-12T17:53:00.000+02:00

I am a little confused again, and I'm confusing too, I expect.

Shall I use Celcius or Farenheit ?

Which time zone, GMT or PST?

I want to be honest about how to show the progress of the GCC ticket bookings.

I have two ways:

1) The first one is based on the number of available tickets, which I am sure you have noticed have been increased from time to time to accommodate the numbers of people rushing to certain more popular sessions. Shelle Rose Charvet, Kathy Loh, Terry Levine, Sandy Weiner, Marlena Field, Joanna Brill and Manisha Dahad, and Mikael Esslius being the most popular so far.

2) The second one is based on the original GCC target of 1000 participants (= tickets). And in my mind a target is simply that... something to aim for. Reaching it, not reaching it, or even exceeding it are equally OK. The target gave us something concrete to set our minds on when we designed the GCC.

So, in fairness, I'll use both

The current ticket bookings are at 30% available / 43% target.
How's that?

Connections made as the schedule is finalised

2010-09-12T09:56:00.003+02:00

Schedule finalised - I think
As far as I know, all the last changes and additions to the schedule are now in place after a review of all the relevant information: session titles, names of speakers, local times, descriptions, web addresses, e-mail addresses and so forth and fifth and sixth. A few errors have been detected (mine), corrections and apologies are ongoing.

Statistics is fun - really
All the above info was first published on the GCC website using Dreamweaver. Then the same info was republished on the Eventbrite booking site, where tickets can be booked and monitored. The Eventbrite site offers some great tools for creating widgets and buttons, as well as lists and charts of statistics.

See below for two examples

1) How the sales have progressed over time
I notice that ticket bookings peaked last weekend when I posted all the sessions, one-by-one, on Facebook. I like Facebook!

2) Who's attending which session, and where they live.
There's a lot of people from the USA and Europe.
The GCC want to reach Asia, Africa and Australia too. It's a global event!

Connections and Networking

With the information at hand about the Speakers and Participants, most of whom are coaches, the GCC was this weekend able to assist in connecting Speakers with their Participants (so that they could get to know each other, share materials and prepare for the session); and connect all the Participants who are going to attend the same session (so that they can get to know each other and create alliances even now).

The Speakers are still in the early stages of informing their networks about their session at the GCC, and Participants are being encouraged to spread the word within their respective networks too. I guess that the many coach networks and forums will be flooded with calls and notices this month.

Note
The time difference USA - Australia is about the same as Europe - USA, but in the other direction, on a different day.

Happy Birthday GCC

2010-09-09T09:26:00.002+02:00

After nine month's labour the GCC was born on 9th September 2009.

Congratulations on your first birthday GCC

A strange fixation on numbers, 29% booked

2010-09-07T18:29:00.001+02:00

After adding some more sessions... 358 tickets booked, 912 remaining, that's 29%.

I think after this weekend I will take a closer look at WHO is coming to the GCC rather than how many. Part of my plan to connect people includes connecting the Participants with the Speakers and connecting the Participants with other Participants. So I am going to create a webpage with contact info, and let the Participants and Speakers know about it.

20% tickets booked!

2010-09-05T21:13:00.001+02:00

Just a quick check before bedtime!
As ever I can't keep my eyes off the progress of ticket bookings for the GCC, so even though it's late here in Sweden - 9pm - I just took a quick look.... and saw that 20% of the tickets have now been booked. From 14% this afternoon, to 20% this evening.

Simone - a major player
The most tickets booked - a whopping 31 tickets - is by "Simone". Well done Simone, you plan to listen to 31 sessions in 5 days! That's more than I plan to listen to. I doubt that your record will be broken, but if it is, I will let the readers know.

And now, BED

One month to go and 14% of the 1000 tickets are booked

2010-09-05T16:13:00.000+02:00

Not that the GCC is about quantity, it's about quality. The people who have volunteered their time and energy to make the GCC an amazing playground of possibilities are well-known in their own spheres of influence. They have experience, education, skills and enthusiasm and they are sharing with the world to make it a better place to live in.

Easy. Huge generosity. And the impact will resonate around the globe, for months after the conference in October.

As I sit and watch the bookings figures climb a few percent every few days I expect them to reach 90% before the end of September.

Some of the sessions are already fully booked and we are working on increasing the number of free places.

Interactivity and Connection
We are also fulfilling our aim to make the GCC 2010 more interactive so that the audience can speak to each other. Closer to the conference date we will open a Contacts Board so that everyone can see who's coming to the conference, and read a little about them. Who knows, perhaps we will have connected people even before the conference starts. That would be nice.

The GCC Schedule (as of 2010-08-27)

2010-08-27T18:07:00.009+02:00

For local times, detailed information and bookings, go to the GCC website

The schedule is updated on a weekly basis, usually new speakers are added, bios and session descriptions are tweaked and new times are made available. As the GCC expands to go around the clock there will more space for more speakers, and so more updates.

Be sure to check back before the conference, maybe the session you are most interested in has a new time, or day

Global Coach Conference Speakers Debriefing

The GCC is going 24 -7,all day, all week

2010-08-25T23:25:00.001+02:00

We are looking for ways to expand the space that the GCC can hold.

The proposed schedule for the GCC was originally planned as the week of 10th - 17th October 2010, and times were 8am to 8pm London Time GMT. The focus was to be Monday to Friday, 10 sessions a day. Enough? No, not enough. The 50 sessions with 1000 tickets filled up quickly and we saw that we need to make more space for more people. So we are looking for ways to make it possible to run the Global Coach Conference 24 - 7, all day, all week.

Phew!

First week's bookings 3%

2010-08-19T08:30:00.000+02:00

Out of curiosity, I had a quick look at the number of tickets booked today. I was going to wait until Friday, but I really couldn't wait. And three percent of the tickets are already booked. At this rate we might run out of tickets!

The right number of people
Ideally each session should have the right number of people. And what's right for each session differs depending on what the speaker intends to do with their audience. Some sessions are more interactive - where the audience become participants and talk with each other. Other sessions are more like lectures - where the audience have time to hear and reflect on what the speaker is saying.

We set a limit of fifty people per session, yet in some cases five would be just right. In others five hundred would also be possible.

We shall wait and see how many people are interested, then contact the speaker and design the best way of using their session. It's all about being flexible and allowing yourself to learn!

Look forward to seeing your name on the list of participants too.

First day's bookings 1%

2010-08-16T10:05:00.002+02:00

Here's a huge thanks to EventBrite for giving me the platform that I need to co-ordinate the sales of 1500 tickets (50 tickets for each of 30 sessions -just to begin with). The platform also makes it possible for me to receive payments and donations of money, in the best possible way.

And the first day saw 1% of the tickets booked!.

It was enormously rewarding for me to see the bookings - and confirmation of payments and donations - pop up in my e-mail in-tray.

GCC bookings now open

2010-08-15T18:36:00.000+02:00

Finally, after two weeks of juggling with time and space, people and topics!

I am delighted to announce that you can book your places at the GCC.

Each session has its own ticket so go get them at www.globalcoachconference.com

At last I can do what I came here for...

2010-08-13T11:21:00.000+02:00

The text, in Swedish, says "At last I can do what I came here for..." Thanks Lille Skutt

Sweden is the centre of the coaching world

2010-08-12T18:12:00.000+02:00

PRESS RELEASE GLOBAL COACH CONFERENCE 2010

Suddenly and for no other reason than one person took the initiative, the small town of Utby in Sweden will be the centre of attention for the coaching world for a week in October.

UK born, CoActive Coach Martin Richards is organising the second series of telephone sessions of the Global Coach Conference , the largest virtual coach conference of 2010 with speakers from China, Australia, India, Trinidad, South Africa, Europe, the UK, and of course the USA.

"It started with a desire to speak with like-minded people, about their perspectives on how coaching serves the world," said Martin. Last year on 090909 the phone conference attracted over a hundred participants, and lasted a continuous 25 hours, with Martin as the host for every session. "It was a one-man telephone marathon," said Martin, "and gave me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation of the benefits that coaching brings." The connections between people made before and during the conference have resulted in long-lasting collaborations, a sign of coaches common need to connect and collaborate.

This year over 20 speakers are freely giving over 30 sessions under the heading "7 Days to Change the World", covering many aspects of professional and private life. During and after the conference people will continue to connect and collaborate to bring their skills to the service of others.

The whole conference will be run from a small office at the temporary center of the global coaching world, Utby, Sweden.

Invitation and Agreement

2010-07-04T16:55:00.001+02:00

I felt the need to update the "Invitation to Speak at the GCC 2010"

This update includes:

description of the GCC Conference Lines
invitation to the GCC Theme Teams
the Use of Recording Agreement that we need to confirm the GCC use of the recording of the session.

Preparations Completion Date

2010-06-29T15:03:00.000+02:00

With the steady stream of speakers, leaders and guests coming to the GCC we feel the need to set a date for completing the preparations, and that is 31st July. By then we shall have a complete and amazing schedule of speakers and activiites.

There are still slots for speakers, and they are running out fast, (the slots not the speakers). So if you feel the call to "Change the World in 7 days", contact us to say why you should speak at the GCC, and when your session can fit into out busy schedule.

As Winston Churchill said, on a darker and more chilling occasion
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

the Capacity to Hold Paradoxes

2010-06-29T09:15:00.000+02:00

Working with Monique Morimoto Flaherty, JR Miller and Amechi Udo there's a strength from the tetrateam that surprises and delights me.

"I like the balance - yin-yang and the capacity to hold paradoxes. The conference has the capacity to be unique and engaging, thought provoking and a learning accelerator." - Monique Morimoto Flaherty

The Flaming Badge

2010-06-22T15:38:00.001+02:00

Proudly wear the flaming badge, I do.

Send me your postal address and I will mail you a flaming badge (or two)

Sometimes the craziest ideas catch on. For my own satisfaction I created a badge for the GCC through FAT and they sent me a bag of flaming badges. Now I want to send these small flames on their journies around the world.

What great fires may be started with these Flames of Passion?

Speaker from India (and Sweden)

2010-06-17T19:39:00.001+02:00

I am delighted to add Ramnath Narayanswamy as a speaker at the GCC. He is a Professor in the areas of Economics and Social Sciences at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore. His areas of interest include Business and Society, Economic Reforms in Transition Economies, Spirituality and Self Development, Entrepreneurship in the Creative Sector, Outsourcing, and Creativity and Innovation. During the fall of 2009, he is a visiting professor at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg.

Unbundling Creative Potential
Creativity = the indisputably, the singular natural resource
Listen to how to unbundle creative potential. It's amazing.

Kathy Loh

2010-06-13T19:47:00.000+02:00

Pleased to say that Kathy Loh will be speaking at the GCC. Have a look at her blogg and get inspired to allow changes to come into your life.

Toastmasters

2010-06-12T22:24:00.001+02:00

As a member of the Gothenburg Toastmasters for the past few years I have experienced how the local groups support the development of the members as Public Speakers and Leaders through the use of performance guides and constructive feedback. I like the language they use "Become the Speaker & Leader you want to be"

Toastmasters

It occured to me that Toastmasters could contribute to the GCC in many ways. So, now I am discussing this with my local teams.

Stating the Obvious

2010-06-09T16:31:00.001+02:00

How easy it is to assume that everyone is a mind-reader, and can read my mind.

I presumed that everyone knew that the GCC was a phone conference, and omitted to write anything about that on the GCC website. Silly me. And thanks to the people who have pointed it out to me!

Now added to the website.

Bob Janes

2010-06-06T22:52:00.000+02:00

Delighted to confirm that Bob Janes will be talking about the Social Panorama Model at the GCC

TEDx and GCC

2010-06-04T22:40:00.011+02:00

If you know about TED, then you know it's an impressive source of inspirational speeches delivered by professionals.

Now there's TEDx - local productions in the TED spirit.

I met the two guys, Carl Ternstedt and Axel Lindqvist, who ran TEDx in Gothenburg in 2010 and we came up with the idea of running the GCC 2011 as an audio-visual experience. That's an upgrade that I can happily get involved with. This is going to need a healthy budget, so there's all the more reason to "moneterize" GCC 2010. I will have to get my thinking cap on.

Carl and Alex brought me up to date on how the phone audio could be broadcast through the Internet and could be listened to live on any PC / Mac. Thanks guys, my head's still spinning.

Updated the GCC Website

About time!

Well OK. I promised that the recordings from GCC 2009 would be available until the end of 2009, and so they were. Now I am recycling them into an interesting package for promoting the contibutors and the GCC 2010.

It's all at Global Coach Conference

the Facilitator

2010-06-02T15:53:00.001+02:00

... and when I asked the world for the fourth vertex for the tetrahedron ... Dorothy Eckes popped up, literally.

Thanks Dorothy for volunteering to facilitate meetings for coaches around different themes.

The Audio Technician

2010-06-02T15:50:00.001+02:00

Exactly when I needed it, MJ volunteered to take care of the audio ...

"My old training was as a sound engineer and producer, so I know all about getting the best out of audio.

The offer is this, let me clean and compress the audio from 2009 and convert it into high quality, low size files such as wma.

I'm sure there are many coaches that would be willing to contribute free information products to this cause.

We can create a bundle and sell it on at a highly reduced rate along with premium features for the GCC 2010 conference.

This would enable some cash back to the organizers and contributors to GCC 2009 and offer a great pushing point for the GCC 2010 conference."

The Interviewer

2010-06-02T10:28:00.003+02:00

John Nixon has agreed to be the Interviewer for GCC2010. We don't know what that means in detail yet, but I am looking forward to some interesting questions from John as he probes the "Whys and Wherefores" of the GCC.

Thanks John

Wise words from J R Miller!

I am well able to think up a workload that could break me. So I am - following such wise words by sending out e-mails asking for support in all the things that need to be done.

So, who will turn up first I wonder?

Making the GCC self-sufficient

2010-05-24T20:26:00.003+02:00

Dancing in the Moment
I have just been dancing in the moment with J R Miller and Monique Morimoto Flaherty from Coaching4Value. They bring together a sense of Spirit and a sense of Business. Blending those with my Creativity and Vision I think we are on to a winning combination!

How did this happen? Thanks to a brief contact on FaceBook, Monique and I started a conversation about the GCC, and she saw the undeveloped potential of GCC 2009, and the huge potential for GCC 2010. So we Skyped!

Making the GCC self-sufficient
We are looking for and finding ways of making the GCC self-sufficient. And we are doing it in a co-active way with the many speakers from 2009. At this time I am not sure what this might lead to, and I want the idea of self-sufficiency to develop from the needs and interests of those involved. A Skype meeting is in the offing.

DVDs

One idea that has come up that would add value to the GCC and make it more self-sufficient is to use the material that comes out of the GCC 2010 to create DVDs for people who were unable to attend all the sessions. The DVD would be a nice way for the many contributors to share what they have done, show others what is going on around the world and attract more attention to the GCC and the many contributor projects.

All that's needs is the raw audio/visuals; and a lot of time editing.

Financial support and "Charge free"

2010-02-12T09:33:00.002+01:00

It's a complex and contradictory world in which we live, and so is the GCC.

Firstly, I don't feel comfortable charging people to listen in to sessions that are being freely given by the GCC speakers. The basic idea of the GCC is that we all have needs beyond money, and the GCC would be a way of meeting those needs, for inspiration, encouragement, connection, belongingness, being part of something bigger. It's not a new idea.

Secondly, the GCC takes time and money to set up and run. Not least time and money consuming are the website, blog and hundreds of phonecallas and e-mails, conference lines and a dozen other things. All of which are given freely. And they cost money.

So, what I am considering is

The sessions will be free to listen to live, i.e. during the conference.
The raw recordings can be downloaded for a limited time after the conference.
The edited recordings will be sold, as downloads, after the conference, by the session leaders; and/or by GCC, according to whatever we agree upon.
It will be possible to support the GCC through donations, electronically via the web

How about that? Does that sound sufficiently complex? And still honest, open and true?

Enhancing the GCC for 2010

2010-01-15T08:18:00.000+01:00

Together with colleagues around the world I have been discussing ways to enrich "the GCC experience".

By that I mean we are learning from the experience we had during the 090909 conference, and are planning to make the things that were not good enough better. Some of the ideas that have come up are:

Interactivity

We want more interactivity - ie the participants and speakers want to interact with each other. At the moment it's all a bit one way.
Before, during and after (the conference)

For some people the anticipation (= prior information) is an important part of the experience, others mostly enjoy being in the moment, and get the most out of being on the phone, listening and speaking; and others want ways of following up (= connections and discussions) after the conference.
Recordings

People who couldn't attend, or who found out later, want to listen to recordings of the sessions. These could be packaged and presented in better ways.
Support

Almost everyone wants the GCC to continue, and want to support financially. Ways for this to be achieved are many

So, in the next weeks and months you will see these ideas become real.
