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.

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.

He is known for his ability to name what others won’t, and to hold a space that is both compassionate and catalytic.

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.

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. 🌱

HKICC Coaching Book Club – Second meeting
From a Simple Gathering to a Powerful Learning Community
Focused book: The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier.

If you are a coach who longs for real conversation, reflective learning, and supportive community, we warmly invite you to join our next gathering hosted by Vipul Malhotra on 26th March 2026 . Here’s a note from him.
Yes, we’ll talk about the famous 7 questions—but the real magic is how it shapes a more powerful way of being. This book is a secret weapon for anyone looking to drive positive change, cultivate curiosity in their teams, and show up as a more impactful and less directive leader.
I’d love for you to join me, to unpack this together. If you have read the book, are thinking about it, or are simply curious about transforming your leadership approach, please come along! Let’s explore how to create ripples of change, starting with our very next conversation.
Come not just to read a book — but to grow your practice, expand your thinking, and connect with fellow coaches who are walking the same path.

Highlight from the first Coaching Book Club meeting:
What began as a simple book club meeting to explore The Coaching Solopreneur quickly became something much more meaningful.
Hosted by Nicholas Wai, the first HKICC Coaching Book Club brought together coaches who arrived not to impress, but to learn, reflect, and grow together. From the very start, there was a genuine openness in the room — a shared curiosity and an immediate sense of community.
Nick’s facilitation created a space that felt both safe and spacious, allowing for honest sharing, thoughtful dialogue, and respectful focus. The book itself became more than reading material; it acted as a mirror, prompting deeper reflection on essential questions:

Why do we do what we do?
What is at the heart of our coaching practice?

Participants left with far more than chapter insights. They carried:

Practical ideas for growing a sustainable coaching business
A reflective questionnaire for continued self-development
Meaningful new connections within the coaching community
Fresh perspectives that continue to resonate beyond the session

This experience reminded us that a book club can be far more than a discussion of text. When held with intention, it becomes a collaborative learning incubator — a space for professional reflection, authentic networking, and shared wisdom that turns passive reading into lived insight.
————————————————————————————————————
What Participants Shared
“A wonderful introduction to the community — with a real spirit of co-creation and collaboration.”
“Thrilling insights and deep exchanges that revealed blind spots and inspired growth in our coaching journeys.”
“Less like a book discussion and more like a shared learning space. I left with practical insights, new perspectives, and a genuine sense of connection. Come and join us next time!”

When large organizational sponsors look for external coaches to support their leadership and talent development efforts, they often look to coaching intermediaries, who maintain a pool of suitable and qualified coaches to match with the sponsors’ requirements.
In this third installment in What Makes Coaching Relationships Work in the Coaching Ecosystem series, HKICC has invited 2 panel speakers from two of the most prominent and active coaching companies in Hong Kong to explore how they create and maintain these three-way relationships to make it win-win-win for all involved.

Get insider views from coaching intermediaries on how they work with external coaches

What qualities are the sponsors looking for and how coaching intermediaries source and maintain their coaching pool to match these needs

Speakers

Dawn Isaac
COO and GM Hong Kong, Black Dog Consultants
After 12 years in multinational banking leadership, Dawn joined Black Dog Consultants in 2014 following a six-month sabbatical that deepened her focus on developing leaders and began her own journey as a professional coach. Today, as COO and GM for Hong Kong, she leads learning, facilitation and coaching across Asia Pacific—supporting people to become the kind of leaders, teammates, and humans others genuinely want to work with.

Henry Chamberlain
Founder and Managing Director, HCC Global
Henry founded HCC Global in 2011, bringing together his experience as an organisational psychologist and executive coach, and his work with senior leaders across Asia. His work sits at the intersection of coaching, behavioural science, and leadership development—supporting organisations to navigate how coaching works within complex systems, particularly where conventional approaches fall short.
HCC takes a deliberately curated approach. Coaches are selected through direct observation, often trained through its ICF-accredited Transformational Coaching programme, and supported through ongoing supervision. This enables HCC to partner closely with organisations—aligning sponsor expectations, coaching integrity, and individual growth—while building long-term, trusted relationships with its coaches.

HKICC Coaching Book Club #3
An exploration into the Coaching Mindset
Date: 7 May 2026 | Time: 6:30pm to 8:00pm | Venue: TBC

We as coaches like to think the GROW model as coaching practice 1.0.
GROW model (Whitmore et al.)
was developed in the 1980s from executive coaching practice (often credited to Graham Alexander, Alan Fine, and later popularized by Sir John Whitmore). It is a practical coaching framework to structure conversations that help coachees set goals, explore reality, generate options, and commit to actions. It’s an applied tool for performance improvement and behavior change.
GROWTH MINDSET was developed from research by renowned psychologist Carol Dweck and colleagues in the 1990s/2000s. It is about beliefs: people who see abilities as developable (growth mindset) vs. fixed traits (fixed mindset). It explains how beliefs about intelligence or talent shape motivation, learning, and response to setbacks.
In our next HKICC Coaching Book Club, Alex Fong will explore with us how Carol Dweck’s landmark work in Psychology Growth Mindset can work to support the GROW model in our coaching practice.
Bringing the two together will be a good example of how theory can inform practice and vice versa . As a scholar practitioner , Alex is in a good position to explore with us how the two can be deployed to help us turn the lens inward — to examine the quiet, often invisible beliefs that shape how we listen, how we respond, as we hold ourselves back or propel ourselves forward as coaches as we practise the GROW model.
What to Expect

Honest self-inquiry: What does your own mindset tell you about challenge, failure, and feedback? Where do you default to “fixed” thinking without noticing?
Practical application: How do your mindsets show up in real coaching conversations — with clients who are stuck, with colleagues, or with yourself?
Challenges on support : How does our own mindset affects our ability to support reflection that would lead to genuine shift, not just intellectual agreement.
Community learning: As always, the real gold comes from the perspectives around the table — coaches at different stages, bringing different stories and struggles.

Why This Session Matters for Coaches
We spend so much time helping clients shift their mindsets. But when was the last time you sat with your own?

What do you believe about your own capacity to grow?
How might expanding your own mindset unlock new presence, patience, and possibility in your coaching?

This is not about getting it right. It’s about getting curious — together.
Join Us.
Book: Mindset by Carol Dweck
(no need to have finished it — just bring your willingness to reflect)
Come ready to be challenged, supported, and seen. Whether you’ve read the book twice or just heard about it, you are warmly welcome.
Because the most important mindset to explore… is your own.
