Supporting clients in expressing vulnerability without fear of judgment is central to confident, authentic growth. Many coaches believe they're doing this well, until they’re not.
Join us for a session featuring MCC coach Deb Kopelman. She will kick off with a live coaching demo. Together all attendees will discuss the demo, with time for self-reflection and an exploration into how to embody this competency with clients.

Time: 12:30–2:00 PM PDT
Topic: ICF Competency 4: Cultivates Trust and Safety

Deb will guide us through building long-term relationships grounded in authenticity and mutual respect. You'll explore how to:

Whether you hold an ICF credential or are an active practicing coach, the session strengthens the relational core of your coaching practice, where safety and trust unlock true transformation.
