CREATING MOMENTUM THROUGH COACHING

What creates momentum? What sustains it? And what becomes possible when people move forward together?
Join ICF North Texas for a highly interactive morning exploring how coaching can move people from insight to action, possibility to progress, and intention to impact.

Come ready to learn, connect and be inspired—and leave with a plan for what you want to put in motion next.

THREE PERSPECTIVES ON MOMENTUM

NEENA NEWBERRY, MCC

Coaching Creates Momentum

Founder & CEO of Newberry Solutions and creator of New Lens®, Neena will kick off our morning by exploring how coaching creates the conditions for momentum—helping people shift perspective, recognize possibilities and translate insight into action.

CHAD HOUSER

Momentum Creates Impact

Founder & CEO of Café Momentum and 2025 James Beard Humanitarian of the Year, Chad will share an extraordinary story of momentum in action. What began with teaching eight young men in juvenile detention how to make ice cream has grown into Café Momentum—a nationally expanding model creating opportunity and momentum for justice-involved youth.

His story challenges us to consider: What can happen when we recognize potential, take the first step and keep going?

DR. JINNEH DYSON-WILLIAMS

Mindset Fuels Momentum

Inspiration matters. But what happens next?

Jinneh will help us explore the mindset that turns possibility into progress—and guide attendees through creating a personal Momentum Map to identify where they want to go and the actions that can get them moving.

You'll leave with more than inspiration. You'll leave with a plan.
