Becoming a Euro-node for Integral Coaching
By DANIEL AHLERS
2015 was a busy year in many domains. One of the areas of busyness was work done by The Centre for Coaching (CFC) team to launch Integral Coaching in Switzerland. In 2014 an Associate Coaching Course (ACC) was launched in Switzerland by the Centre for Coaching, which is based at the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business (GSB). Last year, in September 2015, a second ACC was launched just outside Geneva with a full class of 23 participants spanning 3 continents. Click here to read more

Coaching across language, gender and race boundaries: Lessons from South Africa for Europe
By CRAIG O'FLAHERTY
One of the key challenges for coaching is how to coach in diverse cultural contexts where language, race and other determinants create challenges for people to connect. Since the liberation of South Africa its 14 Official languages, multiple races and complex array of cultures have provided real challenges. What are some of the lessons that coaches there have learned about the need to coach into Social Identity, and how might these insights aid European coaches as the context becomes racially richer and more complex? An experienced South African coach shares some insights.

Integral Inspiration - poem of the month
The Lightfinder
by CRAIG O'FLAHERTY
You trace the way
through deepening shadow,
finding the spaces
still touched by the glow.
I stumble forward
not sure where to step,
then I stand where you are
and light paints the ground.
You stroke the foreground
with luminous touch,
and your words are soft hands
holding my fears.
As I step through my darkness
the anxiety starts to soften
and I start to see obstacles
as foreground in my life
I’m becoming my own Lightfinder
as I search the right path.
