A five-day in-person immersive, August 4–8, 2026, led by Dr. Haesun Moon and the Canadian Centre for Brief Coaching, in partnership with the University of St. Michael's College Continuing Education. Designed for managers, coaches, educators, and anyone whose work depends on great conversations.

Learning Outcomes
Across five days, you'll build the coaching skills to lead the conversations that matter most:
Master the core coaching skills — contracting, deep listening, and powerful questioning grounded in the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant (DOQ).
Lead the conversations you've been avoiding — performance, conflict, change, and grief — with skill and dignity.
Bring it together in Masterclass I, the week's capstone where you demonstrate coaching live with faculty feedback.
