The Future of Coaching Conference (organized by Coachville)
by Marije Miller

May 2003- Four days of immersing yourself in such a positive, high- energy environment with hundreds of likeminded individuals. What a great experience! I had the honor of acting as the Local Event Manager for the first day of the conference. No, not for just one, nor two, but three separate events!  I guess, when Coachville does something, they do it big!

The first day I joined the Masterful Coaching conference, where Dave Buck (DaveBuck.com) and Tom Stone (Web) spoke about the Core Dynamics, while giving us a taste of how powerful this kind of coaching is. Learning about these dynamics made me decide to join the Core Dynamics Intensive conference in New York. (which I attended in September'03.)
 
The second, third and fourth day of the conference were amazing as well: with a new speaker every half hour or so, talking about electronical gadgets, software, insurance, proficiencies, marketing, coaching programs.... At the end of the fourth day I was so energized, yet so filled with great ideas on so many different subjects that I reached overload! Luckily, my husband came to pick me up and whisk me away to sunny Hawaii, where I had a week to unwind and let things settle...
 
Besides learning about the most amazing and (sometimes very) futuristic coaching music, meeting so many incredible people really was the best part of the whole FOC experience.

In this picture you see my Dutch friend, Mooniek Seebregts (www.freeandaware.com), who is an Integrative Coach; and a wonderful Australian Business and Life Coach, Des Walsch (www.3circlesuccess.com). Des is a very wise, yet humble man, whom I became to respect deeply. Can't wait to attend the conference again, next year! "
