Your Event Provocateurs for the conference kick off our two days together with a powerful, fun and highly interactive session focused on the three central aspects of the conference theme.

Brad Ward

What if you could support your clients to assign a different meaning to some of the events in their story? It's possible when you dig deep into the language your clients use to describe themselves, their limiting beliefs, or their justification for remaining trapped in their story. This workshop will teach you how to partner with your client to challenge the meaning they've assigned to certain events in their past. Once the possibility of a new meaning emerges, the old meaning is cast into doubt and starts to crumble, unlocking the limits of the old meaning.

Grab something to eat and join us for some social time in between sessions. A good opportunity to chat informally with other attendees.

🌟 Reflecting Through the Seven Eyes: A Practical Introduction to Coaching Supervision

Are you ready to take your coaching practice to the next level?
Join this interactive and experiential session to explore how coaching supervision can strengthen your self-awareness, professional presence, and effectiveness as a coach.

Using Peter Hawkins’ Seven-Eyed Model, participants will reflect on a current coaching client or situation and learn how to view their work from multiple perspectives — uncovering new insights and expanding their capacity to respond with creativity and confidence.

By the end of the session, you will:
✅ Understand the power of reflective practice to enhance coaching quality.
✅ Apply the Seven-Eyed Model to your real coaching situations.
✅ Experience how supervision supports ethical, sustainable, and systemic coaching.

Whether you’re an experienced coach or new to supervision, this session offers a safe and engaging space to pause, reflect, and grow.

Come ready to explore, connect, and see your coaching through new eyes

What do you do when a client is stuck and your best coaching tools aren’t landing? In this interactive session, we'll explore real-life coaching blocks, discover why some solutions don’t work (even when they “should”), and learn a practical framework to respond more effectively. You’ll leave with new insight into how your clients (and you) default under pressure, plus a crowdsourced toolkit of powerful coaching moves.

Living in Alignment means working in a way that's congruent with your deepest values and beliefs. While many coaches are passionate about serving others, they often struggle with clarity around who they truly want to serve and how to align their business with their authentic purpose. This workshop introduces the Foundational Four Framework to help you gain a fresh perspective on yourself and your ideal clients. You'll walk away with greater clarity, faster decision-making abilities, increased confidence, and a roadmap for daily fulfillment while taking your coaching business to the next level.

Kevin Martin

Many gay men carry deep-seated shame that impacts how they relate to sex, intimacy, and identity—often in ways that remain unspoken in coaching spaces. In this session, sexual empowerment coach Kevin Martin shares his SHAMELESS Method, a trauma-informed framework designed to help coaches guide gay clients from self-judgment to authentic self-love. Participants will learn how to recognize the subtle expressions of sexual shame, facilitate conversations around desire and identity with sensitivity, and integrate body-based and mindfulness tools to foster deeper transformation. This session equips coaches to hold space for genuine healing and empowerment in their clients’ sexual and emotional lives.

Ed Bell

For more than eighty years, researchers at Harvard have studied what actually makes us happy and healthy. And they discovered that there's one thing that contributes to our happiness far more than anything else: having strong close relationships.

And yet, we — and our clients — often don't give our close relationships the importance they deserve. What's more, as gay men we're especially prone to experiencing loneliness and disconnection.

In this engaging, thought-provoking and interactive workshop, we'll explore some of the research on why strong relationships are so vital to our wellbeing, what often gets in the way of prioritizing our relationships in the way we should, and what you and your clients can do to build stronger and more meaningful relationships with those we love.

Nick Duggan

It’s harder than ever to stay centered in a world of competing priorities, upsetting world events, and seemingly constant change. But for us as coaches, staying grounded in the midst of chaos isn’t just about self-care. It’s a core aspect of supporting and partnering effectively with our clients.

This workshop will help you explore your own relationship with rest and reflection, and cultivate your ability to support your clients in finding ways to get more deeply grounded. We will explore benefits and challenges of stepping away, valuing emptiness, and practicing intentional reflection to build insight and resilience. You’ll walk away with a renewed understanding of how to get grounded, and how to help your clients do so too.

Grab a cocktail or a coffee and enjoy some fun time at the end of the day together. We'll put on music and create opportunities for conversation, coaching and non-coaching related, to help you get to know each other better.
