Ken Giglio will participate in a panel discussion at the 2026 EMCC Global Annual Conference, in partnership with EMCC Adria region. The question they will explore with participant coaches, mentors, and supervisors is "Who Holds the Space for Leaders When the Stakes Are Highest?"...
Connecting in person with professional peers from around the world, those I’ve known for years and those I will meet for the first time, is the most compelling reason I attend physical conferences. (There's also something irreplaceable about leaving my own context behind — new countries, new cultures, and the disorientation that only distance provides. This year, for me, that means Zagreb, Croatia, for EMCC Global 2026.)...
For leaders, genuine growth starts with noticing—turning attention inward to observe what is present. Self-observation opens the door to reflection, and reflection creates the conditions for meaningful change. Far from being only theoretical, these pathways are grounded in the biology of the body and the cognitive systems of the mind....
Next week’s Supervision—Shaping the Future webinar is a valuable opportunity for executive coaches to deepen their understanding of the importance of supervision in practice and to highlight the excellent work being carried out by the EMCC Global Supervision Centre for Excellence. ...
Mindful Leaders navigate whitewater by facing the reality the rocks and swirling water of our current world are real (true situations). They keep calm and maintain their balance in the boat. They do not soften or sugarcoat the things they are seeing and experiencing by imagining things are different than they are. Instead, they acknowledge and communicate to others the dangers, risks, and opportunities of being in permanent whitewater....
As the coaching field grows, so does the need for mindful reflective practice, aka supervision. Leaders are not reflecting enough, especially during these trying times. They are not learning at the pace they need to so they can keep up with the changes in the business environment. It is our job as coaches to model a reflective approach. The emerging research shows coaches who attend to their well-being, continuously develop their competence and capacity, and focus on quality control are the coaches most fit for purpose....
To be an effective group coach, it’s critical to know the format you are working with before starting. In my years running a global coaching business, I’ve found when I ask coaches if they’ve done group coaching most say “yes.” When I ask them to describe the details of how they do group coaching, their process and approach, training, and core capabilities, I get a mixed bag of answers....
Why focus on leading with compassion now? Because the degree of suffering in the world is reaching a crescendo. At the individual level we have crises of addiction, mental health, and loneliness. Employee engagement is at an 11-year low. Communities and countries are breaking apart because of toxic divisions, and the global refugee population, almost half children, has doubled in the past 10 years. Entire towns are washed away, and neighborhoods are burned to ash from natural disasters, with many lives lost (May Los Angeles find relief and recover soon). And,...
In the session, Ken Giglio and Erek Ostrowski will explore what it takes for a coach to run a coaching group successfully including the setup, group management, coach skills/competencies, and strategies for mutual and vicarious learning....
