- Crossing the Strait: The First IAC Cross-Strait Exchange Conference in Asia
The IAC® continues to expand its global footprint. Last September, Hangzhou became the setting for the First IAC Cross-Strait Exchange Conference, a historic event that brought together coaches from Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore.
Under the leadership of C.J. Ng, the gathering not only shared knowledge on mindfulness and executive leadership, but also demonstrated that coaching is a universal language that connects cultures. This reflects the spirit of our association on its anniversary: building bridges of excellence in every corner of the world.
- Intentionality: The Art of Being Present with Purpose
What does it truly mean to help a client establish clear intentions? Martha Pasternack, IAC – Master Coach, explores Mastery #7, guiding us beyond simple goal setting. Intentionality is a state of presence: being “awake” to the moment.
As we support our clients in this process, we move from uncertainty toward a purposeful present, connecting directly with Mastery #4 (Processing in the Present) and Mastery #9 (Helping the Client Create and Use Supportive Systems and Structures). A masterful lesson on how clarity of vision opens a universe of possibilities.
- Coaching: Activating the Innate Language of Human Greatness
As coaches, we are tuners of consciousness. Brineska Conde, IAC – Master Coach, invites us to see coaching as the ultimate tool for activating our innate greatness.
This article reminds us that our mission transcends technique; it is about elevating human consciousness and connecting through love to evolve as a species. An essential reading to reconnect with the deeper purpose of our coaching practice.
- Conscious Leadership: Beyond the Algorithms
How do Presence (Mastery #4) and Listening (Mastery #3) integrate in an increasingly automated world?
Revisit the insights from our recent global gathering. We explored how Artificial Intelligence becomes a mirror that challenges us to elevate our consciousness and lead from our human essence—recognizing that organizations do not collapse from a lack of talent, but from the erosion of their relationships.
An essential reading for the coach of the future.
