Join the co-founders of the global Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA), Eve Turner, Dr Alison Whybrow and Dr Josie McLean, to discuss how coaching is evolving within the context of large social and environmental issues we are confronting. You will hear how the CCA is developing – it is now over 1000 members in just 12 months of existence. Further, you will learn what the CCA community is learning about how to raise awareness about these confronting issues (climate and environment) without closing the conversation down. Eve, Alison and Josie will share some of the major themes that emerged out of the CCA’s 3rd 24 hour global conversation, “What’s mine to do?’ that was held on 4 March 2021.

Presenters – Josie McLean, Eve Turner, Alison Whybrow
