#1: The Value Question
From promise to measurable value: a conversation on what coaching is actually delivering in Africa.
From promise to measurable value: a conversation on what coaching is actually delivering in Africa.
Coaching in Africa has matured. The early debate was about understanding and relevance. Over time, as institutions invested more heavily in leadership development, a harder question emerged: after so much capacity building, where is the capacity?
This session moves beyond inspiration into credible, practice-based insight. Three perspectives: professional coaching standards, institutional leadership expectations, and strategy and finance, come together to explore one question: if coaching is working, what value is it creating, and how can that value be seen, felt and measured?
Moderated by Esther Lehmann-Sow (Executive and Systemic Team Coach), with Dumi Magadlela (Leading Global Coach Practitioner and ICF Africa President), Philip Andrew Wabulya (Executive Director Risk and Strategy, Bank of Uganda), Takudzwa Musonza (Chartered Accountant, Investment and Strategy) and Ranjit Bedi (Executive, Team and Organisational Coach).
For institutions, HR leaders and anyone responsible for leadership investment decisions, this is the conversation that has been missing.
#2: Collaboration: The Growth Engine for African Coaching
The power of collaboration in African coaching: what becomes possible when we start building an ecosystem together?
The power of collaboration in African coaching: what becomes possible when we start building an ecosystem together?
African coaching has grown through individual excellence. The next level of growth requires something harder: coaches, institutions, and ecosystems working in deliberate partnership across borders, disciplines, and generations.
This session brings together six voices from across the Coach Africa ecosystem to explore what collaboration actually looks like in practice. Not as an ideal, but as a working strategy for building a coaching profession that is credible, connected, and capable of the impact Africa needs.
With Eileen Walusimbi Oloya (Director, Coach Africa Academy), Nankhonde Kasonde-Van den Broek (Founder, Zanga Metrics), G. Sairamesh (Founder, Coach4Excellence), Hugben Byarugaba (Member, Coach Africa Board), Toniah Khumalo (Expert Consciousness Leadership Coach, PCC) and Caroline Egesa (Certified Empowerment Coach).
For coaches and aspiring coaches who want to build something that lasts beyond their own practice, this session is for you.
#3: Your Legacy Is Not Behind You
What senior leaders build next.
Flora Mutahi (Founder and CEO, Melvin Marsh International) built Kenya's first flavoured tea brand from nothing. Thirty years later, she built something else, a programme for other entrepreneurs, built entirely from what she knows. Danny den Hartog (Founder, Coach Africa for Entrepreneurs) talks with Flora about that transition. In a special recorded session, Dr. Modupe Taylor Pearce, CEO of BCA Leadership, speaks to how senior executives stay relevant after their role and what they can do with everything they know.
For senior leaders sitting with questions they have not yet said out loud: how do I stay relevant after my role? What do I do with everything I know?
