The 14th International Conference on Coaching Supervision will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, in Oxford, UK.

We will be continuing a hybrid approach to previous conferences, allowing presenters and attendees alike to participate either in person or online.

Last year's theme was ‘Supervision - its core and its edges', inviting presenters and attendees to examine the essence and boundaries of supervision. David Lane set the scene in our keynote session exploring how ethical dilemmas in supervision might point to the core and the edges of our practice. In the afternoon plenary Sarah Tennyson and Alison Maxwell explored the theme in relation to the concept of professionalism.

The theme for 2026 invites the community to explore further the interplay of practice, professionalism and professional identity; how they manifest and how they might affect each other. We intend this theme as a broad invitation within which we welcome proposers’ own interpretations.

Please note that in the interests of encouraging open dialogue during the event, sessions are not recorded.

The course is intended to help you understand how to work as a coach with people who are diagnosed as neurodivergent or who appear to show traits associated with neurodivergence.  

At the end of the course, you will 

• Understand the typical strengths and difficulties  associated with common neurotypes

• Understand what is important in your coaching work to meet the needs of neurodivergent individuals

• Know what wider support is available 

The course consists of 3 X 3-hour online sessions 1-2 months apart.  This will allow you to reflect on your learning, read around the topic and discuss your learning from one session to the next.  

There will be formal teaching inputs, exercises, case study material and some pre-reading.  A suggested biography will be provided for background reading while you are on the programme. 

Happiness Through Goal Setting: A Practical Guide to Reflect on and Change the Reasons Why You Pursue Your Most Important Goals in Life

An evidence-based, practical guide to reflect on the most important goals in life, this course provides a unique framework and thought-provoking exercises to modify personal and professional goals to increase happiness.

Why we pursue our most important goals in life is an important question, and the answer we give ourselves greatly influences our happiness. This course uses the goal-striving reasons framework to illustrate tow essential reasons why we should strive for our goals: for pleasure or altruistic reasons. The course also covers two reasons we should reduce in our goal-striving. These are self-esteem, and necessity. This online course will enable participants to change their reasons for pursuing goals and achieve the ultimate aim of becoming happier in life.
