The Power of Coaching for Social Change

We have an exciting line up of guest speakers joining us, you can expect inspiration, practical value, and meaningful connection.

Coaching is often associated with business and performance, yet its impact increasingly extends into communities and social systems. This session explores how coaching is being used as a catalyst for inclusion, empowerment, and social transformation.

We will examine how coaches are applying their skills across areas such as education, youth work, mental health, and social enterprise, supporting individuals and communities to develop agency, confidence, and resilience. The discussion considers what effective coaching looks like in social contexts, including the ethical, relational, and practical challenges that arise.

Participants will reflect on how coaching can contribute to wider social change, addressing issues of voice, power, and access, while remaining sustainable and responsible in its application.

Designed for coaches and anyone interested in the broader societal role of coaching, this session offers insight into how coaching continues to evolve beyond traditional settings, shaping communities as well as individuals.
