5th International Executive Coaching Symposium | IESE Business School

Ages of Life and Career Stages

5th International Executive Coaching Symposium
Online, Nov 4, 2020

The 5th INTERNATIONAL EXECUTIVE COACHING SYMPOSIUM, organised by IESE Business School, was held on November 4, 2020. Exceptionally, it was held online.

The topic is Ages of Life and Career Stages. Our key note speakers will help us better understand and cope with the different phases of life that we pass through. We’ll reflect on important questions like how coaching can contribute to navigate these different ages of life and what we need to un-learn so that we can truly enjoy every stage of our careers, sharing them, as we do, with a mix of senior colleagues, millennials and rising stars.

As in previous editions, the symposium aims to contribute to the ongoing development of coaching with the latest research and hands-on practical information from the business world. It will be attended by senior executive coaches, academics and HR professionals from all over the world and provide us with new perspectives to enrich our professional practice and experience.

Last year’s symposium on Nurturing Purpose attracted 170 participants from over 30 countries who gave very positive feedback. We very much look forward to sharing a similarly rewarding experience with you this year!

• Workshops and meetings with other institutions. The coaching unit organizes a series of workshops and international meetings through close collaboration with other institutions.
