In 2003 Morgan-Clarke undertook a study called ‘Does Coaching Work’? and they presented their findings to senior HR people from a selection of the UK’s most well known companies at a breakfast meeting hosted at Anton Mosimann’s.

Those who attended gave excellent feedback about the positive effect it has had on their own Coaching Strategy and how beneficial they found it to network with like minded people and share ideas with their peers.

Following this event Morgan-Clarke were inundated with requests for a similar event and have been striving to find a subject that will provide insight, invite debate and encourage discussion and ‘Coaching Hot Topics’ will do exactly that!

Morgan-Clarke have invited Pauline Willis to deliver a presentation aimed to demystifying the minefield of coaching qualifications, shedding light on the conundrum of coach selection and offer an interactive session covering credibility, chemistry and fit.

The event will allow participants to air views, ask questions and then network and mingle over wine and canapes with excellent company.

This leading edge Executive Coaching Seminar is only open to a limited audience of 40 delegates and will take place at the London Underwriting Centre on Monday 20th September 2004 between 16.00 -19.45
