EBC Jams at CraigsList Foundation Boot Camp

There was a coaching jam session in Berkeley in June and EBC was in the house! What’s a coaching jam session? In this case, 100 coaches converged on the same location on the same day and gave free coaching sessions to 500 people! As a partner supporting the CraigsList Foundation Boot Camp, The Coaches Training Institute (CTI, www.thecoaches.com) offered free coaching sessions to boot camp attendees with graduates of the CTI co-active coach training program.

The boot camp is best described as a place where emerging and established community leaders gather together to change the world.  It’s an intensive one day event where people learn how to bring their ideas for stronger communities into reality.  Coaches were brought into the mix to evoke the creativity and insight innately possessed by the attendees.  To learn more about the boot camp, check www.craigslistfoundation.org.

A handful of East Bay Coaches participated in the event, and a couple have the following to share:

It was delightful to be in a roomful of 50 coaches and know that so many people were open to giving coaching a try for the first time. Their work is so passionate for them! I followed up with most of my clients, and might have one ongoing client.  –Nancy Montier

The buzz of energy in a room of 50 working coaches was amazing!  It’s as though you could palpably feel the movement that was taking place for clients. I was humbled by the experience of spending time in sessions with members of our next generation – young adults who care passionately for this world and are taking ownership for their role in creating a better future. I would sign-up again in a heartbeat.  – Veronica Wolfe
