On Thursday June 28th 2018, the Cyprus Human Resource Management Association (CyHRMA) organised with the support of European Mentoring & Coaching Council Cyprus, an afternoon event on the subject “Coaching for Real Impact – Insights from a Master Coach”. The event was held at Koukouvaya Bistro Bar, in Nicosia and participants were mainly HR professionals and Coaches. Presenter was Mrs Lise Lewis MBA, Chartered FCIPD, EMCC EIA Accredited Master Coach Practitioner, EMCC ESIA Accredited Coach Supervisor, former International President of EMCC (2011-2017) and now an EMCC International Special Ambassador.

During the presentation, it was discussed what coaching is, how it is applied in practice, which cases are considered as ‘coachable’ and which not. In addition, real case studies of coaching were presented, analysing the suggested approach that can be applied during a coaching session, and challenges that are faced by the coach.

The mixture of the participants profile has enabled an enhanced sharing of experiences, as well as exchanging of views on how to address specific concerns with regards to coaching. Following the completion of the presentation, the participants had the opportunity to network on a cocktail afterwards.

According to the feedback received, the event was very useful for the participants and in line with the current challenges and priorities of the sector. It is noteworthy that the topic of the event has been indicated by the members of CyHRMA (in the context of a recent survey) as the first preference for their development.
