The CEO Seat

The CEO Seat

When

November 5, 2026
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Event Type

A free October–November business-building room for ICF GA members plus open-enrollment, sponsored by Ann Farrell, Founder & CEO of InPowered Coaching Institute®

What it is: 
The Annual Biggest Wave of organizational business placement is here. The CEO Seat gives chapter members a place to bring the organizational opportunities they are working on right now, learn two practical business-building strategies each month, and get peer and mentor input on landing work directly with organizations.

It builds on the two rounds of the From Coach to CEO! workshop series Ann delivered for the chapter earlier this year. It is designed so members can turn this season’s conversations into engagements.

Who it’s for:
Chapter coaches seeking organizational coaching work this fall. Past workshop participants and first-time attendees are equally welcome.

Schedule and format:
Four live virtual sessions, Thursdays 12 PM – 1 PM

Pricing: Included with ICFGA membership; complimentary for guests

Register:
Session 3 11/5 Register Here
Session 4 11/19 Register Here

Each session follows the same flow:
Welcome & Business Building Tip (15 min). One focused, practical strategy to land / expand work directly with organizations.

CEO Help Seats (35 min). One or two members bring a live organizational opportunity. The presenter frames the situation, then peers share their own relevant experience rather than advice. Ann closes each help seat with her mentor.

Looking Ahead (10 min). Key takeaways and next

Help seat requests are submitted in advance through a short three-question form: the organization and buyer description (no names, please), where the opportunity stands, and where the member is stuck. Help seats are confidential and are not recorded. The Business Building Tip is recorded and shared with registered members.

What members receive:
Four live sessions of practical business-building strategy at no cost
A chance to put a real organizational opportunity in the CEO Seat and leave with clear next steps
Peer learning from chapter colleagues navigating the same season
