Description:
Join us as we kick off our 9th year together with our annual “mixer with a purpose.” This is when we reconnect and surface the topics that will shape our learning for 2026.
We’ll explore what’s emerging in our coaching work, what themes are showing up with our clients, and where we want to stretch as a community.
Celebrate another year of developing together and contribute your voice to what we create next. The conversation is richer when you’re in the room.
Upon conclusion of this meeting, participants will have identified professional development topics they’d like to explore, set learning goals for the year, and strengthened their community.
