About us
Coaches Connect is where coaching, counselling, and therapy meet it is a peer support and group supervision session commonly over a shared meal, but also in other ways. The process is designed to be relaxed and social, empowering participants to establish strong repour with one another…
Working from a philosophical inquiry model we encourage support integrative practice of the disciplines of coaching, counseling, and therapy. Each session features a coaching-relevant presentation and to help focus table conversation each participant is given a series of question pointers that they are challenged to use as a means to both focus the dialogue as well as expand our dialogue framework.
Although business cards are encouraged this is about development over networking, so no one is allowed to exchange cards until the session ends!

Evaluating and Improving Our Coaching Skills
NSW Teachers Federation Conference Centre, 37 Reservoir Street, Surry Hills, AULeading in a hybrid world: are your coaching skills future-ready?
When your team is sometimes on screen, sometimes in the room, and sometimes across borders — coaching needs more than good intent. It needs method, presence, and a clear way to blend virtual and face-to-face coaching without losing depth.
On Wednesday 22 April 2026 (Sydney), Professor Grace McCarthy (Honorary Professor, University of Wollongong; founder of the Master of Business Coaching) will lead an engaging, research-backed workshop based on her latest book:
Successful Coaching for Leaders and Managers: How to Blend Virtual and Face-to-Face Coaching Effectively for Today’s Hybrid Workplaces.Expect practical tools and live exploration across core coaching skills:
• Observation
• Deep listening
• Powerful questioning
• Goal setting
• Feedback and reflectionGrace will also step into the organisational layer — systems thinking, coaching culture, cross-cultural leadership, and coaching across multinational organisations — plus practical guidance on how technology and GenAI can support reflection and feedback without becoming the “coach”.
