About the Gathering
The first Global Gathering brought our community together a decade ago. A lot has changed since. Our students have built practices, earned credentials, and shaped what coaching looks like in their corners of the world. This October, we come back together for three days of teaching, practice, and connection.
Who you'll learn from
Each session is built around the work of growing as a coach and growing a coaching practice.

Click: The Importance of Chemistry in Coaching
Drawing on her doctoral research, Janice shows that what coaches call good chemistry is within their control. It is an observable, influenceable phenomenon rather than luck or personality fit.

Wired: Your Brain on Goals
Edward brings the brain itself into the room, walking through what real-time brainwave activity reveals about focus, regulation, and resilience, and what coaches can do with that information.
Founder, Crosstown · Author, Hard Reset
Hard Reset: Calm Is a State. Reliability Is a Skill.
Danny reframes reliability as the practiced capacity to recover deliberate action under pressure, and demonstrates a live ICF-aligned sequence for getting there.

Metaphors: The Invitation Tool
Eric covers the science behind why metaphors work, three ways they function as an invitation inside a session, and how to generate and apply them in practice.
Coaches at every stage of practice. From the first paying client to an established business. If you've trained with CTEDU, this gathering is built for you.
Keynote talks from CTEDU faculty and guest speakers. Breakout workshops to sharpen specific coaching skills. Sessions focused on building and growing a coaching practice. Time to connect with the people you've trained alongside. Optional pre- and post-event experiences in Denver.
Every time I'm in a room full of coaches, I leave more inspired, more motivated, and more convinced that this work is how we change the world: one conversation at a time.
