ANN WhyTE AND mIChAEL CAvANAGh - PrOgreSSing COACHing in AuSTrALiA THrOugH COLLAbOrATiOn - THe STAndArdS AuSTrALiA WOrking PArTy PrOjeCT

This session will provide an overview of this groundbreaking project which has produced a Guide on Coaching for Australia.

In early 2009, Ann Whyte in her capacity as Chair of Standards Australia Committee MB9, Human Resource Management surveyed a range of stakeholders on the potential net benefit of developing a Guide on Coaching in Australia.

There was unanimous support for this initiative from coaches, coach training organisations, purchasers, universities and professional associations. There was also a recognition that the success of such an ambitious project would require collaboration from all groups, a genuine desire to make the process work and capacity to collaborate with existing initiatives underway with groups such as the ICF and APS.

This project is the first example of representation and open dialogue in what has been a highly fragmented coaching industry in Australia. Through a process of mind mapping and drafting chapters, the Working Party has developed a Guide that will be available in 2010. This Guide is an important development in coaching, both in Australia and also around the world and an example of what can be achieved in when a group of people are able to set aside individual interests and collaborate for the benefit of a greater good. Ann Whyte is Managing Director of Whyte & Coaches. Five years ago, while at the

Australian Graduate School of Management, Ann Whyte created an approach to performance coaching that links individual goals to organisational outcomes. Based on the success of this approach, Whyte & Coaches has grown to engage 30 coaches spread across Australian capital cities.

Ann herself has held executive positions in education and public companies. Her areas of expertise include; leadership, change, organisation development, policy, strategy and systems thinking. She is the current chair of the

Human Resources and Employment Committee of Standards Australian and is a past chair of Ministerial Advisory Committees on Education and Community Services. Ann holds masters degrees in education (Melbourne University) and sociology (Swinburne University).

jOSie MCLeAn - BRINGING SySTEMS THINKING TO LIFE - DEVELOPING CONNECTED LEADERSHIP

There is a profound shift required in leadership if a sustainable planet is to be realized. It is more than embracing the natural and social worlds in addition to the economic realities –solutions such as the triple bottom line already offer this. The required profound shift, places the principles that underpin sustainability, in its broadest sense, at the centre of business activity and organisational life.

A key feature of this profound shift – a paradigm shift - is the concept of connectedness. How can we teach this, or provide experiences that help people ‘see’ connectedness? Our work has taken us to experiment with bringing

‘systems thinking’ to life. This interactive session will introduce the notions of systems, complexity and paradigm shifts, and will identify how the ground rules of leadership are shifting. Josie will use groups of volunteers to illustrate a practical methodology to demonstrate connectedness.

With a background in corporate strategic planning and financial analysis, Josie founded The Partnership in 1999 and works with individual executives and teams to develop leadership capacity and to clarify and align organisational purpose. She also designs and delivers leadership programs that reflect her passion for contributing towards a sustainable planet. She is currently completing a PhD in leadership and organisational sustainability at the University of Adelaide and has previously studied leadership at Harvard University. One of the founder’s of the coaching industry within Australasia, Josie was recently recognised for her contribution to the industry with the International Coach Federation President’s Award (2009) and is a past President of ICF Australasia (2003).”

MArgie dArCy And AMAndA MACkenzie - MINDFUL LEADERSHIP: COACHING LEADERS FOR INTEGRITy, PRESENCE, CLARITy AND CONNECTION

This session will define mindful leadership and touch on research and current thinking by key leaders in the area including Senge and Scharmer. Participants will be provided with a brief experience of mindfulness and outline strategies for coaching leaders for mindful leadership. Mindful leaders integrate all parts of themselves so that they can lead more consciously, more successfully and with better outcomes. It focuses on who the leader is rather than focusing on techniques, traits and other external factors. Mindful leadership also focuses on enabling leaders to be present so that they can fully attend to their environment. The concept of mindful leadership is a response to the growing understanding that quite a different approach to leadership is needed in organisations in the 21st century.

PeTer Webb - BRAIN BEHAVIOR COACHING : HOW TO HELP ExECUTIVES MAKE GOOD DECISIONS

Decision-making is vital to personal, business and organisational success. But how do we decide? The new field of neuroeconomics (the merger of behavioral economics and neuroscience) is beginning to answer that

question. Decisional bias can now be identified with particular brain structures and related hormonal activity, which suggests an approach to behavior change in coaching more closely aligned with how the brain actually works. Brain Behavior Coaching puts these findings into coaching practice and shows how to help clients think about why and what they’re feeling, and how to outsmart the brain’s decisional flaws. This session will explore neuroeconomics and give attendees an insight into this emerging field.

Peter Webb is a Leadership Capability Coach with an applied research focus in the psychology of wisdom, helping leaders make difficult choices in business and in life. He has coached leaders across a diverse range of commercial and government enterprises, and has trained hundreds of consultants, coaches, and managers as coaches. Peter is also an Assistant Program Director for Mt Eliza Executive Education - part of Melbourne Business School, and a Facilitator for Chifley Human Capital - part of Chifley Business School. He is the author of numerous papers and articles, most recently: “Coaching for Wisdom: Enabling Wise Decisions” (2008), in: D.B. Drake, K. Gørtz, & D. Brennan (Eds.)

He is the founder of Brain Behavior Coaching, a set of coaching tools which integrates positive psychology, neuroeconomics, and complexity theory to achieve change in groups and individuals.

gAi STePHAnie rOPer - HOW TO SHIFT THE WHOLE ORGANISATION USING THE PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL ECOLOGy

This session will illustrate the use of social ecology with executive coaching to shift behaviors of a whole organisation. When faced with the task of using the OCI (Human Synergistics’ culture diagnostic) to shift the

behaviors of some 4000 people across 23 offices in 8 countries, one-on one executive coaching has its limitations. However the principles of coaching can be applied to teams and groups by including the principles of social ecology … how people learn and develop as communities as well as individually. Gai’s recent experience has proved to us that it can be done … and very economically. By taking this task on as a design challenge her team was able to draw on a much bigger and more creative pool of resources that spoke directly to the hearts and minds of the organisation’s people.

As a partner in Corporate Spirit Pty Ltd, Gai designs and delivers large-scale culture and leadership change programmes for organisations undergoing significant transformation. Her learning and expertise is grounded in organisational development – as a facilitator, change leader and executive mentor – and personal and spiritual development – as a transformational teacher, counsellor and mentor. Gai’s professional career includes television production, magazine publication, advertising, marketing and general management.

She has further study and practice in counselling and psychotherapy and developmental psychology. She holds a MAppSci (Social Ecology), a Graduate Certificate: Adult Education and is beginning a Doctorate Business Administration.

Corporate Spirit’s work is directed toward the development of agile, creative and responsible organisations utilising coaching, group work, leadership development and culture-specific systems change. They have worked extensively with Vodafone, Westpac, Aurecon, ING, Australian Hearing and the Child Support Agency.



gAyLe HArdie And MALCOLM LAzenby - LEADERSHIP PRACTICE – BEyOND THE EVERyDAy ExPERIENCE

Are you interested in exploring and strengthening meaning and purpose in your life? Are you interested in supporting others in discovering the power and effectiveness of who they really are? Do you want to build a world that is mutually sustainable to all of us?

This workshop will offer all of us with the time and opportunity to reflect on these questions through better understanding who we are as leaders, the “gifts” we bring, linking this with meaning and purpose in our lives and

exploring the resulting impact we can have at both a local and global level.

The process we will use combines a number of practices that integrate our actions, feelings and thoughts – leading to moments of “presence” and a quite mind. It been developed and refined

through our learning with the Turtle Camp Leadership Experience (in partnership with the remote indigenous community of Mapoon, West Cape york Queensland) and our work with Emotional Health levels and the

Enneagram (a personality system that reveals important dimensions of leadership styles and assists leaders in better understanding what drives and motivates them as well as the impact that they have on others).

As the Co-Founders of Global Leadership Foundation, Gayle Hardie and Malcolm Lazenby are passionate about making a positive difference to people’s lives, their businesses and communities - both local and global. They each bring, along with their enthusiasm, over 30 years of experience and recognised expertise in leadership development and transformation, Board and Executive mentoring and coaching strategic planning and implementation, leading and implementing cultural and organisational change and strengthening collaboration An important part of their work links their three principles of Self-Realisation, Collaboration and Stewardship to tangible leadership practices in community. Partnering with the remote Australian Aboriginal community of Mapoon, the 6 day Turtle Camp Leadership Experience not only provides the opportunity to contribute to a significant ecological project but also offers leaders the time to critically and thoughtfully reflect on themselves and their businesses – particularly in identifying ways to evolve their

present day leadership practice into one that addresses corporate and social responsibility and the need for an environmentally sustainable world.

gervASe PeArCe - DEALING WITH “WICKED PROBLEMS” USING TRANSDISCIPLINARy LEADERSHIP AND COACHING

Senior executives and policy makers are increasing being challenged by “wicked problems”. These are complex strategic issues such as climate change, work life balance, diversity management, and organisational change that

have no “right” solution. The almost relentless drive for solutions, often under extreme pressure form various actor groups; coupled with the desire to ‘get it right’ the first time is straining the traditional or rational approaches to problem solving, coaching and leadership.

Drawn from over 20 years experience of leading, facilitating and coaching individuals and groups through a range of “complex wicked problems”, a framework of transdisciplinary leadership and coaching has been developed. Insights gained from case experiences including leadership strategies are discussed.

Gervase is a Senior Associate of IMIA Graduate School of Leadership. His work centres on building strategic capability within people and organisations. He commenced his career as an officer in the Royal Australian Navy holding operational and staff positions including leading the implementation of organisation wide change projects including Women at Sea and Quality Management within the operational element of the Navy.

nirAn jiAng - REVOLUTIONISING COACHING IN TIMES OF CRISIS:

Niran will facilitate a number of sessions to hold big conversations on how to revolutionise coaching in time of financial, economic, environmental and social crisis. Attendees will be challenged

to step up, to lead strategic thinking for the profession and to innovate people development for their clients and /or staff. Traditional coaching sessions may not be sufficient to support the scale and urgency required for change and transformation. How do we support organisations, small or large, to develop the capability and capacity to operate everyday in a high performance yet coaching way? How do we coach an organisation with over 30,000 people? How do we enforce coaching practice (managers as coaches) when they are constantly racing around with limited time? Such questions will be explored, and through the collective wisdom in the room, we shall brainstorm innovative solutions and shape our future together.

Niran is co-founder and a Director of the Institute of Human Excellence. She has 15 years of business and personal development experience in Australia, USA and AP having worked with Coca-Cola, Maserfoods, SC Johnson and Mars. She coaches, trains and consults executives in the area of innovation, culture transformation and leadership development.

Liz MACAnn - SUPERVISION: A CRUCIAL PART OF ExECUTIVE COACHING OR EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES?

Is supervision all it’s cracked up to be? Is it always necessary? Who makes an effective supervisor?

What value does it bring and to whom? How much should it cost? .Liz will share the evolution of supervision in the BBC to the model we use today and also compare the role of supervision for in-house executive coaches with that of supervision for

independents or external coaches. Key Learning points will include the benefits of supervision, responsibilities of the supervisor and supervisee, the difference between supervising an in-house and an independent Executive Coach and a possible model on how to blend it into coach development.

Liz Macann is the Head of the BBC’s in-house Executive, Leadership and Management Coaching Network which won the 2008 International Coach Federation award for best practise and impact.

rOSS beLL - ORGANISATIONAL ROLE ANALySIS: WORK ROLE DRAWING IN ACTION

What do you do when goal based coaching does not work? What do you do when there are topics or themes to be discussed, but the Coachee just won’t go there? What do you do when you feel you’ve tried everything to create a mindset shift, but with no success?

Organisational Role Analysis (ORA) is an emerging approach to coaching which takes a ‘role’ centred,

not individual or personality, view of the coaching encounter. Born from the tradition of psychodynamic theory and systems thinking as applied to organisations, ORA provides a set of tools and processes to assist people in

obtaining greater role clarity and effectiveness. Ross will facilitate a session where all participants will experience the concept of ‘role relatedness’ and the powerful ORA tool of ‘work role drawing’. This will be followed by a brief ORA case study for discussion, and close with his own learnings as an Executive Coach in using the ORA approach.

Ross Bell is a founding Director of Leadership Talent Australia, a specialist leadership and talent development consultancy based in Melbourne. He has 25 years of corporate experience in a wide range of professions spanning executive coaching, management consulting, leadership training and group facilitation. He also has extensive international experience which includes a Masters from Oxford University and senior management positions in global companies such as BHP Billiton. Ross has also completed post-graduate qualifications in Organisation Dynamics at RMIT where he was trained in the ORA approach

rene nATHAn - THREE GOLDEN QUESTIONS OF SELF INTEREST

In almost every transactional situation in the corporate world, people make decisions about others based on three fundamental but usually unspoken questions. These three questions apply equally at the Board and

C-suite levels and through every level below. The problem is that the questions are usually asked unconsciously, and answered equally unconsciously. This session formalises and presents the questions so that the transaction becomes apparent and, with self-awareness, the likelihood of a successful interaction is increased. Knowing what these three questions are, and applying the insights gained, provides a valuable guide to more successful outcomes in a range of interactions from securing a job, to being promoted, and to winning the support of customers and clients.

René brings to her clients her insight into, and understanding of, the politics, strategic imperatives, commercial realities, and the diversity of relationships and issues (including Boards, peers, reports and external stakeholders) that leaders need to deal with in the ever-changing world of business. Prior to establishing her executive coaching practice in 2002, she was a successful businesswoman in publishing and consulting. In 1996 she co-founded Panviva, a software company now headquartered in the USA. She studied Social Anthropology at university with a focus on Systems Theory. This adds a rich dimension to her work as a coach and as a thought leader on a range of issues such as diversity, the politics of self-interest, and group dynamics. As a coach she deals with a range of issues such as more effective leadership, succession, managing change, building relationships, and helping people fulfil their potential



jAn Sky - DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE USING ExECUTIVE STATE IDENTIFICATION (ESI)

Jan will share the use of the tool ESI, a concept based on the model of ego state therapy, a

psycho-analytical tool which has its origins embedded in the work of Freud and Federn. ESI is a mapping tool that maps the many ‘parts’ of one’s personality. Mapping and acknowledging the different parts of an individual’s psyche,

both inhibiting and supporting factors, allows for developing and providing strategies for behavioural change. Understanding human behavior can be puzzling and many coaches are able to achieve great success for participants in understanding that behavior. However, when you add the power of understanding one’s own personal map of who they are and why they behave the way they do, results can be that much more powerful.

Jan is in the business of creating a difference to the workplace! For the past 16 years, through her company SKy training, she has specialised in the area of leadership and people development to those organisations who want to create an environment of high performing people. As well she runs a private practice as a Counsellor and Clinical Hypnotherapist.

virginiA MAnSeLL And AMAndA biCkerSTAff - CONTExTUAL COACHING SKILLS TRAINING TO ADVANCE LEADERS’ COACHING CAPABILITIES

Virginia will describe and share an Advanced Leader As Coach Program – and how within a business context, this program demonstrates a contextual coaching model which can be utilised in a practical structured coaching program. This model may also draw upon underlying frameworks to form the agenda to address the coachee’s development priorities at that point in time. The program addresses understanding the context, understanding what occurs when the coachee is under pressure, understanding and penetrating the psychodynamics and systemic patterns of behavior to enhance the practice of leadership and learning to recognize stress reactions and triggers. It also helps to understand meaning and purpose and working with transference.

Virginia is Managing Director of the Stephenson Mansell Group and is a leadership and organisational consultant, executive coach and coach facilitator. She has been a registered psychologist for 17 years, previously boasting

13 years in Human Resource Management, counselling psychology, psychotherapy and organisational consultancy.

erik de jOng And LeSLey SyMOnS - KEEPING THE COACH OUT OF COACHING

How much space does the coach take up in coaching? How much space do the coach’s process, personal “stuff”, attachments, and values take up, and does it take away from the coachee and their benefit from coaching? This session is about providing an arena for critical thinking for the coach around their own self-awareness and responsibility. For the coach to reflect on their role in the coaching process so that they can stay out of the way of the coachee and hold the space for the coachee. In turn this can enable the coachee to find their own path to their own self-awareness.

Experiential exercises will be delivered to enable a highly interactive and active self reflective process. Follow up reading list will be provided. Information and research will be taken from both the coaching and psychotherapy arena.

Erik spent 10 years in sales and marketing at Coca-Cola in Europe, USA and Australia. The combination of his own management experience and his foundation in counselling allows Erik to facilitate people to achieve high performance.

rOberT PrinAbLe, WALTer beLLin, bernAdeTTe degAbrieLe - WHAT TO DO WHEN COACHING FAILS TO DELIVER REAL CHANGE?

Every human being has what we call an adapted identity. The overt part of that adapted identity is (among other things) what we get paid for. The hidden part of that adapted identity holds (among other things) the vulnerabilities and weaknesses we would rather not display. Each positive trait of the identity has a hidden counterpart, so by reinforcing and polishing the strengths, we are also reinforcing the hidden vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

Any sustainable change requires work at a deeper level than simply reinforcing the adapted identity, no matter how powerful or beautiful or acceptable that may be. Our concept of the Treadmills of the Mind provides an insightful model which de-psychologises the drivers of identity, and enhances coaching by adding the depth needed to elicit sustainable (step) change. Instead of coaching to play the game better you’re coaching to play a better game – like moving from checkers to chess.

Robert’s original work in corporate development – tailoring corporate strategy to the personal style of those individuals who must implement it led

to the need for an objective instrument that could directly link self-management practices to corporate development outcomes.

Robert founded Core Dimensions as an opportunity

to pass on his knowledge and experience in a form easily accessible to any coach, facilitator or learning & development professional through the Q12 instrument.

His consultancy style is engaging and effective – his unique skills have taken him to more than 100 companies in 23 countries, involving over 25,000 people in the processes of personal and corporate success.

Walter, is a Director of Core Dimensions and international consultant who regularly consults to the senior management teams of public and private sector organisations in the areas of corporate development,

leading organisational change (specialising in organisational cultural change), leadership development, team building, communication skills, strategic business planning and vision setting. In addition to his work in Australia and the USA, Walter has consulted throughout Asia and Europe.

As a Director of Core Dimensions, Bernadette provides holistic coaching and change management services that encompass the ‘whole person’. Bernadette’s work unlocks both human and organisational potential,

enabling her clients to improve the quality of working and personal life simultaneously, thus enhancing personal satisfaction and organisational effectiveness.

After a successful career in the Royal Australian Navy, Bernadette came to business consultancy with a primary interest in people management. As the NSW Practice Manager she successfully led, managed and developed consulting teams, and delivered assignments that involved organisational change and transition, personnel management, program and project management, and complex IT implementations in Australia and the UK.

gAvin dAgLey - HR PROFESSIONALS’ INSIGHTS INTO HIGH-QUALITy DELIVERy: THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ExCEPTIONAL COACHES AND THEIR WORKS

In this session, Gavin reveals the results of research into Human resources (HR) professionals

responsible for purchasing executive coaching services. In this study, twenty experienced executive coaching purchasers completed 90-minute structured interviews based around a 40-item questionnaire regarding

their experiences of locating and working with exceptional coaches. Descriptions of executive-coachees’ experiences grouped around themes of engagement, deeper conversations, insight and responsibility, and positive growth. The exceptional coaching capabilities that facilitated these experiences were: credibility, empathy and respect, holding the professional self, diagnostic skill and insight, approach flexibility and range, working to the business context, a philosophy of personal responsibility, and skilful challenging. The themes resolved into a process model of exceptional executive coaching that incorporated environmental, executive, and task characteristics as other influential factors. Despite the remedial implications of the purchasers defining outcomes in terms of behavior change, executives seemed to experience executive coaching as positive and, at times, transformational. The work of exceptional coaches may be at its most distinctive when the required behavior change is particularly demanding, and when sustainable outcomes are based on transformational change.

Gavin is a psychologist, coaching practitioner and researcher, and is Director of a Melbourne executive coaching practice. He completed his Masters studying cognitive performance in fatigue conditions, and his Ph.D. studying career transitions in elite sport. He leads the current AHRI-sponsored research program investigating the characteristics of exceptional executive coaching. The lead-in research, into the outcomes of executive coaching and the factors that produce such outcomes, was published in the business and academic press, and has been presented to the APS, Melbourne Business School and the AHRI national conference. Prior to his return to study in 1995, Gavin was senior financial executive and has held such roles in the retail, wholesale, manufacturing, construction, and service sectors.

TriSHA Avery - ExISTENTIAL COACHING – COACHING WITH A NON- DOGMATIC APPROACH CONNECTING FEELING AND EMOTION

As Part of her Masters Research,Trisha developed her own Existential coaching approach based on the philosophical study and thought, of amongst others, Heidegger, Kierkegaard and Frankl. This approach

lends itself to Coaching as a non-dogmatic methodology, allowing for subjective analysis through experience, meaning and making sense of the world that we live in.

Always embedded in the Existential Coaching protocols and content is the belief that as humans, we are constantly in change, as is the world around us. The existential coachee, is given the support to find their own meaning, create their own concepts and goals and create a space that feels comfortable and safe. An existential approach connects with all aspects of phenomenological experience, feeling and emotion.

The Workshop will: Allow participants to engage with real case studies to develop their skill in working with the subject matter, develop their understanding of how to hold a client in a phenomenological space, build confidence to discuss an existential approach with an organization and provide a new valuable skill to add to their coaching offer. The workshop will include exercises and case studies.

Trisha is the principal of Business Performace Coaching Australia specialising in strategic behavior change, leadership development, executive and team coaching and coach training. She specialises in transformational change and provides strategic advice for organisations in business behavior and the development of leaders and leadership. She has a Masters in Psychotherapy and Counselling and is currently doing her PhD researching Executive coaching – training and practice. Trisha sits on the coaching panel for the ANZ Bank and the coaching and mentoring panel for the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

eLLy MerediTH - PROFESSIONAL STATUS – DO WE REALLy NEED IT?

Coaching, as a relatively new occupation, has grown dramatically since the 1980s. It has attracted people from other occupations such as management consultants and psychologists, as well as new to industry practitioners, such

as semi-retired executives who have either added coaching to their service offerings. However, coaching remains a fragmented and unregulated occupation, with no formal qualifications or experience required, to practice, or use the term ‘coach’. This presentation explores the strategic actions of various stakeholder groups to seek professional status of the coaching occupation. It offers insights and critical unanswered questions for those seeking to see coaching recognised as a profession. It also raises the question of; “what professional status means in the 21st century?”.

Elly’s experience includes senior roles in HR, marketing and sales. She currently works with leaders and managers facilitating organisational reviews and change, in a number of industry sectors, including finance, FMCG, professional services and manufacturing. She is currently engaged in a PhD at the University of Sydney, exploring the emerging nature of professions and occupations.

The transpersonal recognizes and works with our yearning, ingrained in the human psyche, for something beyond the personal, beyond the material and the everyday. In recent years people especially in Western culture are waking up to the transpersonal within themselves through the emerging need to find meaning and purpose in all aspects of their lives. This was less urgent when we were more focused lower down the Maslow hierarchy (on the survival, on belonging and material success), and when religion was the preserve of the spiritual. Affluence, global communication and the secularisation of society have now brought the transpersonal onto many people’s agenda, both personally and at work.

When coaches are familiar with the transpersonal dimension in themselves and the methods of addressing it in others, their capacity to help others is greatly enhanced.

Even the most pragmatic of coaching interventions, such as daily task performance, is enhanced if the coach holds a transpersonal perspective. Coaching tends to be viewed in the business world as an action-oriented way of addressing problems. Trying to fix things can be a dispiriting and energy draining approach for people. Put simply, if we focus on problems, then we will get more of them. If we look for where the positive energy is, the vitality, the spirit, and explore and build on it, then this is what will grow within an individual or within a company.

Transpersonal coaching is an empowering process which helps clients discover the power and effectiveness of who they really are. This core, source of our deepest values and qualities, is a source of real strength, creativity and actualisation. Operating from this core enables clients to connect with their staff, the vision of the organisation and the global context fully and effectively.

ABOuT ThIS WOrKShOP

John and Niran will start the course by briefly running over the history and evolution of transpersonal psychology and its inevitable expression within coaching as coaching matures. They will then use a series of group exercises to illustrate and provide an experience of the most frequently used transpersonal models in coaching. Included are demonstrations of individual coaching using one or more transpersonal techniques. The workshop will conclude by introducing the next level of coaching beyond the transpersonal known as Integral. While closely related, it explores in more depth the stages of human evolution from an individual and a collective perspective.

The workshop is experiential and filled with conversation and dialogue to create deep learning and is limited to 25 participants

Each year, we try and give attendees an experience into the unique history of Sydney and this year we have chosen to have our summit literally on the water at Pier One, Walsh Bay.

As we know from coaching, space is important and abundant natural light with a connection to the harbour will give an added connectedness to the environment around you.

Nestled alongside the Sydney Harbour Bridge and offering panoramic Sydney Harbour views, The Sebel Pier One Sydney Hotel is built on, and over, the water.

The Sebel Pier One unique Federation-style Sydney accommodation blends heritage with contemporary chic. One of the very few Sydney hotels set in the heart of The Rocks, this boutique hotel allows easy access to Sydney’s historic dining and entertainment precinct as well as Sydney CBD and Financial District.

The Sebel Pier One Sydney Hotel follows a nautical theme and feature much of the original timber and ironwork that once were the centrepieces of the working Pier One Wharf, offset by the latest in contemporary interior design and facilities.
