Imun meetups

Coaching panel includes Gideon Culman, MCC, Micol Zimmerman,ACC,  and Scott Brown, PCC 
Join us for an engaging and interactive session as we explore the Coaching Arc Journey. As coaches, we understand that every client relationship is unique, each with its own pace and nuance.  Whether you are working with clients who are starting a career journey, navigating new responsibilities, or managing staff and board teams, each coaching journey charts its own course. This is especially true when we add the layer of coaching Jewish clients and organizations! In this program, you'll hear from three Imun Coaches and their clients as they share the evolution of their coaching relationships —highlighting key moments of success, lessons learned, signs of meaningful growth, and how the Jewish thread of connection impacted the coaching journey. 

Following the panel, participate in two interactive breakout rooms designed for reflection, connection, and shared learning. You’ll have the opportunity to network with fellow coaches and consider your own coaching journeys.  We'll also take time to reflect on the evolution of our Imun Community and share plans for what lies ahead.
