We will bring together a diverse group of four subject matter experts—a representative from Human Resources, a Change Management leader, a Health and Wellness Coach, and an Executive Coach.

Each panelist will offer a five-minute opening perspective that looks back at where we've been and forward to where we're going. They will provide insight into how their respective fields have leveraged coaching to drive organizational and personal growth. They will also share their unique viewpoints on the current landscape and future trends, consistent with the incredible impact of coaching over the last 30 years.

Following the opening remarks, a moderated Q&A session will begin with questions provided by the organizing committee before moving to a dynamic exchange with questions from the audience.
