What Coaches Need to Know about
Mental Health – a sharing by Mind HK
Jun 8, 2023 Thur 12:30pm – 1:30pm
Online Zoom Conference

With its fast-pace and long working hours, Hong Kong has always been a stressful place and the problem is not helped by the recent COVID-related restrictions and health scares. Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common mental health issues in Hong Kong, with 61% of Hong Kong adults currently suffer from poor mental well-being. Nevertheless, 74% of mental health sufferers do not seek any form of professional help. With these statistics, the possibility of coaches encountering clients with sub-par mental health is not negligible.
It is therefore important for coaches to recognise symptoms of possible mental health issues in their clients and know the various options and support available. To support our coaching community in this regard, HKICC has invited Mind HK to give us a briefing on the current state of mental well-being in Hong Kong, important symptoms to look out for in the clients we coach, course of action for coaches and support available, and how enrolling in the Mental Health First Aid course can help coaches be better equipped to handle such cases.
Mind HK
Mind HK (Mind Mental Health Hong Kong Limited) is a S88 registered charity (91/16471), which launched in 2017. The organisation’s vision is to ensure no one in Hong Kong has to face a mental health problem alone. Through resources, training, and outreach campaigns and programmes, their work helps to raise awareness of mental health and reduce the associated stigma, with the aim of achieving the best mental health for all in Hong Kong. With existing collaboration and research efforts, Mind HK is here to support Hong Kong in becoming a global leader and regional model for public mental health. For more on their work, vision and mission, please visit www.mind.org.hk.

to Transform Yourself and Your Coaching
Jun 28, 2023 Wed 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Venue : Wild at Art – 1/F, 4 Elgin Street, Soho, Central, Hong Kong
In-Person
To succeed in the world of coaching, we have to constantly reinvent ourselves as coaches to adapt to our clients’ evolving needs. But how do we do this? How do we see beyond our current reality to help our coachees evolve and transform?

In this interactive seminar, Henry will share his views on the state of coaching, the emerging needs and challenges of coachees, and how he infuses psychology into his coaching practice to make it transformational. In addition to tools and techniques, Henry will talk about the importance of personal evolution for coaches. He believes that coaches can only take their clients to the level of their own evolution. Using the Hero’s Journey as analogy for personal transformation, Henry will share insights on how we as coaches can use it to transform ourselves, our coaching impact and ultimately, our coachees.

We invite coaches who are interested in thought-provoking conversations ranging from the realistic to the romantic to join this session. Some of the specific areas to be covered are:
1. What does “Transformational” truly mean for coaches and coachees?
2. What’s missing in our coaching toolbox and mindset to make it more transformational?
3. The importance of a personal hero’s journey for coaches
4. The intersection of mythology and psychology: helpful models, theories, and approaches that coaches can embrace to become more transformational?
5. Interactive case study: Applying traditional and transformational approaches to see the same story from different angles
6. Q&A & discussion

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Are you ready to be a DEI coach? on 18 Aug, Fri, from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm
2023-08-18 12:30 - 13:30
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
Are you ready to be a DEI coach?
Aug 18, 2023 Fri 12:30pm – 1:30pm
Online Zoom Conference

The World Economic Forum describes DEI as a competitive advantage, and evidence suggests that organizations with strong equity and inclusion programmes are more resilient and adaptable in times of crises.

Nevertheless, DEI remains a work-in-progress and a key area for improvement at many organisations – typically left in the hands of internal experts, OD and organisational consultants.

How is this relevant to coaches and is there more we can do as coaches and mentors? And if so, what is the work we need do on ourselves and with our peers so we are fully ready?

In this session we will explore the implications for working in the DEI field as a coach and mentor. We will discuss:

What are the unique challenges for DEI in an Asia Pacific context?
What is the inner work required to be fully ready to coach around DEI ?
What aspects of DEI generate either tension or uncertainty for you, and how you conduct your work? What can you do about this?
What is the work we can do collectively as peers, to deliver a sustainable shift in DEI across the region?

Speaker: Mark Powell
Mark is a seasoned leadership, executive and team coach. Working as a full-time coach since 2008 (after a corporate career in banking and hospitality), he has worked with leaders across 15 countries and 50 different organisations including global corporations, NFP organisations, and government.

Mark is a global volunteer on the EMCC global DEI committee. He brings his own considerable lived experience in the DEI space along with years of professional development related to how individuals belong and how teams include. Prior to coaching, Mark succeeded in a number of different leadership challenges through his career, including 20 years in Financial Services leading newly formed business units or helping to re-generate existing businesses through innovative product initiatives. He is also a proven entrepreneur, having started 4 businesses in 3 countries.

More recently, Mark has joined the faculty of the Academy of Executive Coaching. In this capacity he develops external and internal executive and team coaches across Asia Pac.

Professional coaches provide a service to create sustainable change. We live in an incredibly busy world today. Many are constantly busy with deadlines, chores, and hundreds of issues we need to deal with. When people ask how you are – the only answer some have is “I am busy”.
With continual change, it is very easy to go down the spiral with lot of things to handle and to manage continuous pressures of work or managing expectations of self and others. This can easily lead to exhaustion of emotional strength and leading to burnout.
How resilient are you as a professional coach?
And what differences you can make if you power up your resilience?
The engaging and energising 90-minute virtual workshops are packed with practical tips drawing on the best of Sports Science, Emotional Intelligence, Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology and Biology will help you build awareness around the concept of self-resilience and explore the high road to being a resilient professional.

Key Intentions of this session are:

Build Awareness on your personal resilience
Grow capabilities to manage stress, pressure and challenges
Provide something “Practical ” that you can use in you daily lives
Apply what you have learnt to serve yourself and your clients

In this session, we will show what you can do to keep a tab on Your Resilience and use it as a powerful tool, share how the Navy Seals, athletes and executives handle pressure in challenges and how they come out of it confidently. You will learn how to handle the overload of pressure and key recovery rituals.

Venue : 2-4/F Pico Tower, 66 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong

Ten years have passed since David Clutterbuck and the late David Megginson published their seminal paper introducing the concept of Coach Maturity. Substantial research has built on this concept to throw light on how coaches evolve in the depth, quality and impact of their practice. This unique, evidence-based session by Professor Clutterbuck shares critical lessons and provides insight for managing your evolution as a coach. Amongst the topics explored are:

The four stages of coach maturity – evolving skills, identity and mind frame
Why and how mature coaches let go of much of what they learned as beginners: mastery occurs when we learn how to break the rules
How to build the quality of your reflective practice
How mature coaches use themselves and their wisdom to enhance clients’ learning
How mature coaches see systems, where immature coaches see client problems
Why it’s important to free ourselves from goal obsession
How to become a mature supervisee

Presented jointly with Transcend International, HKICC looks forward to welcoming you to this coaching event of the year for coaches on any points of your coaching journey.

Why Coaching Labs?

As coaches, we need to hone our skills constantly. However, sometimes it is hard for us to get good practice partners, or quality and practical feedback on our coaching. Coaching Lab aims to address these challenges. In this coaching playspace, participants will work in groups of three. You will get the opportunity to coach, be coached and be a coaching learning partner. As the name implies, Coaching Lab is also a space for you to play and experiment with new models or approaches on coaches in the community. You can press “redo” or “time-out” if you feel stuck or lost. Although we allow a wild mix of “chemistry” to happen in the Lab, the rule is to engage with compassion and have fun!

Session Format

• 20 minutes Welcoming and Introduction (in the main room):
– Henry will introduce “sticky note coaching” and you can decide whether you want to experiment with this coaching approach in
your session

• 3 x 30 minutes Coaching Practice + Feedback (in breakout rooms): Maximum of 20 minutes coaching, 10 minutes feedback. Facilitators will stay in the main room and can be called upon/invited into breakout rooms if necessary. You will be the coach, coachee, and observer in turn.
• 5 Minutes Group Debriefing: Group debriefing in the main room sharing insights and experiences and closing the learning session.

Coaching supervision is a collaborative process that enables coaches to reflect on their practice, improve their skills, and ensure they are providing the best possible service to their clients. It is an essential part of professional development for coaches and can help to enhance the overall quality of coaching. Yet, not many coaches have supervisors and few are trained as supervisors. Additionally, many coaches are unclear on the differences between mentor coaching and supervision.
What can you expect?
At this panel discussion, you will have the opportunity to hear from experienced coaching supervisors and coaches using supervisors who will share their insights and expertise on the topic. We will specifically focus on “what is supervision” “how is it different or similar to Mentor coaching” “why is it important” “how do I engage in supervision” and more. You will also have the chance to ask questions, engage in discussion, and connect with other coaches who are interested in supervision.

We believe that this event will be informative, inspiring, and valuable for coaches at all stages of their careers. We hope you will join us and take an important step towards enhancing your coaching practice through supervision.

Discover Eleven Dots for Collective Intelligence
A unique approach to make first steps into effective team coaching

Global interest in team coaching has been thriving in organizations for the last 5 years. In France, this approach has been practiced, developed and studied for 30 years with authors as Michel Moral, Florence Lamy, Alain Cardon and Vincent Lenhardt.

Collective Intelligence can be defined as the ability for a group of humans to reach their goals with maximum well-being of the members and high level of creativity to adapt to an ever-changing environment.

The question is: how to improve a group’s Collective Intelligence?
What are the practical levers one can operate to make the first steps in that direction?

That is the purpose of the Eleven Dots for Collective Intelligence approach.
It is an excellent way for a team and for a coach to make their first steps into team coaching.

Founded on the principle of a human collective considered as a living organism, 11 Dots was invented in 2014 by Florence Lamy (EMCC Global Team Coaching Award 2022,
EMCC Global Supervision Award 2018).

Consolidated by field experience, recent international research on the subject, and a unique approach inspired by the Ba Gang of Asian medicine, this model makes it possible to establish in a particularly rapid manner a holistic, systemic, and systematic diagnosis of the collective intelligence of a team.

In this session we will cover

Basics of team coaching and team diagnosis
What is Organic Collective Intelligence
Eleven Dots for Collective Intelligence: sources, organization
Example of real-world application
Open Q and A

Emmanuelle Le Strat is a professional coach based in Paris.
Emmanuelle is a certified Executive Coach, specialized in executive coaching for leaders, managers and their teams; she is also a certified professional trainer (Management/leadership, client expectations, sales…) and a graphic recorder.

All change starts with awareness. As coaches, to fulfil our role as a catalyst for developmental change, we must know how to create new awareness for our clients. There are many methods for awareness-building including reflective exercises, worksheets, questioning processes, assessment tools and feedback surveys. One method stands out as the most practical and valuable for all coaching and that is deep listening. How can we make our listening more productive to draw out new awareness in our clients? This is what we’ll be practicing and experimenting with in this session. Join us to enjoy deep, awareness-raising connections with your fellow coaches.

The tripartite meeting (or 3-way meeting) is a key part of contracting in coaching. It helps to set the scene and clarify the desired coaching outcomes and/or review progress. This type of meeting is usually used where the individual who is receiving coaching is different from the party who has contracted the coach.
So, why is the tripartite meeting important in coaching? When does it happen? Who are involved in the meeting? What is covered during the meeting and what are the expectations of different parties?
What can you expect?
At this panel discussion, you will have the opportunity to hear from experienced coaches who are specialized in business/corporate coaching, teenage coaching and team coaching to share their insights and expertise on the topic. Not only the above questions will be answered, but they will also share their tips and insights in their specialized areas. You will also have the chance to ask questions, engage in discussion, and connect with other coaches.
We believe that this event will be informative, inspiring, and valuable for coaches at all stages of their careers. We hope you will join us and take an important step towards enhancing your coaching practice.

Dear Coaches,
We are excited to invite you to the second event in our “Beyond the GROW Model” series — a new HKICC initiative designed for coaches who want to stretch their skills, deepen their practice, and explore advanced coaching topics.
Our next speaker is Dr Clara To, a registered psychologist and coach with deep expertise in coaching, leadership assessment, and development. Join us for a dynamic 90-minute session on Wellness Coaching — a specialty area grounded in behavioral science, positive psychology, and the art of transformational change.
This is more than a niche — it’s a powerful way to help clients take charge of their energy, health, and whole-person wellbeing.
This session is ideal for new and developing coaches who are curious about:

What wellness coaching is really about – What distinguishes wellness coaching from life or executive coaching
How to integrate wellness principles into your current coaching approach
How to support sustainable change without giving advice

Whether you’re considering wellness coaching as a specialization or simply looking to broaden your coaching lens, this session will offer fresh insights and practical tools to help you grow as a coach.
With a PhD in psychology and certification from Wellcoaches, Dr To will guide you through evidence-based frameworks, mindset shifts, and interactive exercises that reflect the essence of this transformational approach.
Target audience:
Coaches of all levels who are curious about wellness coaching or looking to expand their toolkit to support clients’ holistic wellbeing.

The Hero’s Journey: Coaching Beyond the Conscious from 7:00pm to 8:30pm on 28 Aug 2025
2025-08-28 19:00 - 20:30 | Love Express, 12/F Amber Commercial Building, 70-74 Morrison Hill Road, Causeway Bay, HK, Love Express, 12/F Amber Commercial Building, 70-74 Morrison Hill Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
The Hero’s Journey:
Coaching Beyond the Conscious:
Discover how to access the unconscious patterns that
drive clients—and yourself—using the Hero’s Journey and the House of Self

Date: 28 Aug 2025 | Time: 7:00pm to 8:30pm |
Venue: Love Express, 12/F Amber Commercial Building, 70-74 Morrison Hill Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

In the next two sessions of our Coaching Beyond the GROW Model series, we invite you on an inner journey to explore the deeper layers of personal insight and transformation.
Many coaches sense that their own and their clients’ behaviours are shaped by deeper, often unconscious forces—but may feel unsure how to safely explore those layers, or wish they had tools to go there with more confidence. These sessions offer a powerful, experiential introduction to how the less rational, more hidden parts of the self can be understood, engaged, and integrated.
This is not a certification, but a provocative and interactive taster of what’s possible. The sessions draw on the timeless framework of the Hero’s Journey and the House of Self—a practical and original model developed by Henry Chamberlain, designed to make the internal world more visible, relatable, and coachable.
Facilitated by transformational coaches and psychologists Henry Chamberlain and Steve Wu, these in-person sessions will offer accessible, thought-provoking ways to explore what really drives your thoughts, choices, and coaching presence.
Note that this is a two-part in-person series, and participants are strongly encouraged to attend both sessions to gain the full value of the journey.
No prior knowledge of psychology is needed—just curiosity. You’ll leave with fresh insights, simple practices, and a glimpse of how these models could deepen your own development and enrich your future coaching work.

🎤 Facilitators: Steve Wu (Executive Coach (PCC) & I/O Psychologist)
Henry Chamberlain (Transformational Coach (PCC) & I/O Psychologist)

Steve is an Executive Coach and Occupational Psychologist known for his maturity, depth, and presence well beyond his years. With a strong foundation in psychology and advanced training in modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Steve brings a rare blend of insight, empathy, and precision to his coaching. He has worked with emerging and senior leaders across sectors and served as a lead coach in a powerful women’s leadership programme for young Lawyers in an international law firm. As senior member of the HCC Global team, Steve co-facilitates ICF-accredited coach certification and advanced coaching workshops, supporting coaches and leaders in developing grounded self-awareness and impactful presence. Clients consistently experience him as a calm and trustworthy guide—able to challenge with clarity, connect with compassion, and support transformation in a way that feels both practical and profound.

Henry is an occupational psychologist and transformational coach with over 30 years of experience in human development. His work bridges psychology and coaching in ways that make deep change accessible and meaningful for high-functioning individuals. With a rare combination of psychological insight, intuition, and presence, Henry helps clients access both conscious and unconscious drivers of change—moving beyond behavior into transformation. He is known for his ability to name what others won’t, and to hold a space that is both compassionate and catalytic. His coaching is not about action plans or performance goals, but about helping people see the truth they are ready to see—because once that happens, change becomes inevitable. In his upcoming workshop, Henry will guide participants through his integrative House of Self model and the mythic structure of the Hero’s Journey, inviting coaches to explore the deeper territory of self and system, where transformation begins.

Coaching Beyond the Conscious:

Date: 24 Sep 2025 | Time: 7:00pm to 8:30pm |
Venue: Virtual Event (link will be sent out one day prior to event date)

Our first workshop in the Coaching Beyond the GROW Model series opened the door to the Hero’s Journey as a way to understand transformation. Now, in Part Two, we step into the House of Self to explore the voices and parts that quietly shape our choices, block progress, and guide our lives.
You can still join us, even if you missed Part One — though attending both sessions gives the most satisfying experience.
This is not a certification, but an impactful, interactive taster of what’s possible when we coach beyond the conscious. You’ll leave with fresh insights and simple practices to deepen your presence and your coaching.
Act now — be the first to join this powerful journey!

Launch of the HKICC Coaching Book Club
Date: 26 Jan 2026 | Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Venue: 3/F, World Trust Tower, 50 Stanley Street, Central, Hong Kong
We coaches are an interesting bunch.
We love learning—not only to better support and empower our clients, but also to continue our own growth toward greater mastery and maturity.
Many of us (myself included) have shelves filled with books we genuinely wanted to read when we bought them… and yet somehow never quite got around to opening. And even when we do read, the real challenge is not finishing the book, but harvesting insights we can actually apply in our coaching and our lives.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
With this in mind, HKICC is delighted to launch the HKICC Coaching Book Club—a space designed to support you in dusting off those unread books, learning together, and turning ideas into practice through shared reflection, conversation, and a good dose of laughter.
Perhaps this is something you’ve been wishing for, without quite naming it.
Our first book selection

We’ll begin with The Coaching Solopreneur by Kate Freedman.
Being a coach isn’t only about coaching well—it’s also about how we run our coaching business in a way that is sustainable, human, and aligned with our values. Whether you are a seasoned coach or newly inspired on this path, there is always room to refine how we operate as a “coaching solopreneur,” so we can spend more time doing the work that truly matters: coaching clients we care about.
Written in accessible language and a clear, practical structure, Kate Freedman shares the process that helped her not only sustain a successful coaching practice, but also stay sane while balancing work, life, family, and entrepreneurship.
What stood out most for me was the importance of laying strong foundations at the start—and the need for regular review and renewal as our practice evolves and grows.
📖 You can find the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/191585007X
How it will work
With the year-end holidays just around the corner, this is a wonderful time to pick up the book and read at your own pace.
🗓 On 28 January 2026, we’ll come together to:

Share insights and reflections
Explore selected exercises together
Close with a simple, practical action plan that can flow naturally into your New Year intentions

We hope this Book Club becomes a nourishing space for learning, connection, and thoughtful practice.
Wishing you a restful holiday season and an inspiring, rewarding start to the new year—and we very much hope to see you there. 🌱
