Welcome to the 2025 NOW Conference Coaching HQ!
Below, you will learn about the menu of pre-and-post-conference offerings.
Appointments with a Career Coach:
In 2025, we are offering over 500 1:1 career coaching appointments from over 100 career, life, executive, and ICF-certified coaches. Later this spring, NOW Conference attendees will be able to review coach bios to learn more about their experiences and specialties. Once attendees have identified a coach they’d like to work with, attendees will be able to schedule up to three 45-minute appointments to discuss one or two career challenges, goals, or skills. Should you choose to schedule more than one appointment, consider scheduling them all with the same coach (to dig deeper into your topic of discussion) or schedule each appointment with a different coach (for multiple perspectives on the same topic.)
When and how do I register?
- We do not offer 1:1 coaching on the day-of the NOW Conference. 1:1 coaching will be offered 11:00am-6:00pm PT on June 9, 10, 11, and 13.
- Registration for 1:1 career coaching appointments opens for NOW conference attendees in May. NOW attendees will receive an invitation to register!
Is coaching for me?
We say, yes! These conversations are for everyone (individual contributors, leaders, and at all stages of careers.) Coaches can help attendees process career issues like:
-
Getting unstuck
-
Gaining perspectives that support forward movement
-
Clarifying career goals and turning them into action
-
Managing career change
-
Communicating effectively about your career and skills
-
Balancing the “big career picture” with the concrete action steps needed to make it a reality
We have four Coaching HQ webinars this year that will be followed up with group coaching sessions to build upon the webinar topics and create space for practice and dialogue. Our lineup of webinars will be available later this spring. Webinars will be offered June 9, 10, 11, and 13 from 9:00-10:00am PT.
When and how do I register?
Registration for NOW conference attendees will open later this spring. Stay tuned for an invitation!
All Group Coaching sessions will be offered 10:00-11:00am on June 9, 10, 11, and 13.
Building upon the content from the Coaching HQ webinars, Group Coaching sessions are positioned to help participants process, discuss, and practice the concepts they learned. Please be sure to attend the webinars preceding the sessions, which will all be offered from 9:00-10:00am on the same days as the group coaching sessions, June 9, 10, 11, and 13.
Each group coaching session will be facilitated by a professional coach, and will include a mix of self-reflection, small group conversations, and large group dialogue - a social learning experience! Group coaches will provide prompts and insights to spark discussion, listen to understand what you are working on, and create space in the room for folx to share their perspectives and experiences.
When and how do I register?
NOW attendees will receive an invitation to register for Group Coaching later this spring.
