ICF CoachFest “Inspire & Empower” – A Unique Experience of Professional Development and Authentic Connection

Gallup’s “State of the Global Workplace 2024” report shows that only 23% of employees are actively engaged at work, while 15% are actively disengaged, highlighting the critical need for effective leadership in organizations.

Studies emphasize that manager involvement is essential to increasing team engagement, with 70% of the variance being directly influenced by the quality of management. A successful leader not only builds positive relationships with employees but also helps them find meaning and satisfaction in their work.

In Romania, the coaching industry is booming, according to ICF Global, with expected growth over the next 12 months. This demonstrates the importance of training employees, leaders, and managers through specialized coaching, at a time when companies are seeking effective solutions to increase employee engagement and support their well-being and professional growth.

In this context, ICF Romania is organizing the “Inspire & Empower” CoachFest, a celebration dedicated to professional coaching, a unique event exploring the latest trends in coaching, team development, and leadership. This half-day event is part of an exclusive series taking place in November in Bucharest, Cluj, and Iași, providing an ideal opportunity for learning and connection.
