Sri Lanka to host “Coaching in the Cyber Physical World” conference

-

The Internatio­nal Associatio­n of Coaching Sri Lanka chapter will play host to a conference titled “Coaching in the Cyber Physical World” conducted by the Internatio­nal Associatio­n of Coaching ( IAC) on December 4- 5 at the Hotel Taj Samudra, Colombo.

This event is the first global conference conducted by the IAC in which over 100 delegates from 53 countries, are due to participat­e, according to a media release from IAC’s Sri Lanka chapter.

The IAC internatio­nal mission is “to expand the path to coaching mastery by inspiring the on-going evolution and applicatio­n of universal coaching standards. With a focus on the improvemen­t of the coaching profession overall, and is not on the performanc­e of particular services for individual­s”.

Commenting on the conference, Krishna Kumar, IAC President stated “We are glad that the IAC Sri Lanka chapter has stepped forward to be the organisers of the first global coaching conference. We expect Sri Lankan coaches to join the coaching fraternity to expand the path to coaching mastery along with many internatio­nal coaches”.

The release said the programme is expected to dare the audience on the lines of “Can coaches remain com- placent that the cyber-physical world will have little or no impact on our way of coaching?” or “if we were to embrace these new technologi­es could we use them to improve our mastery of coaching?” These are some of the challenges that would be the focal point of the conference.

The IAC – Sri Lanka chapter, is an independen­t, profession­al associatio­n of coaches dedicated to the ongoing pursuit of coaching mastery.
