Major milestone for women high performance coaches
The Women in High Performance Coach Showcase brought together 90 coaches, sport executives, performance directors and researchers to share learnings and collaborate.
What was the Showcase?
The one-day showcase was an opportunity for the Women in High Performance Coaching (WiHPC) project team to engage with a broad group of stakeholders, share insights from the WiHPC project and showcase the bright spots and pockets of ‘good work’ within the system.
The Purpose
It was an opportunity for NSOs and coach educators to grow their personal toolkit for driving change by learning from the experience of others. The WiHPC project team also outlined current insights so far, with proposed ‘nudges to test within the system’ that have the potential to shift the dial for women’s experiences and representation in high performance coaching.
Voices of the Women and Organisations
The voices of the women were shared through the delivery of the first archetype workshop, engaging the participants in actively reading real stories about the experiences of women coaches, and relating this to their own context. A series of archetypes who influence the HP landscape had been developed through a series of workshops and online focus groups. This activity has been developed into a workshop and toolkit for organisations to deliver. See the posters below.
14 organisations shared their activities, programs and current interventions through a poster series. The list of organisations is below. You can see the posters here: Initiatives in action | ASC
