Kolkata has witnessed a significant milestone in the realm of professional and personal development. A premier global organization representing a vast network of over 60,000 coaches worldwide successfully hosted its ICF Accredited School Art To Lead – Coachezzy’s Coaching Conclave 2025 in the city. This landmark event marks a major stride for the coaching community in Eastern India, shifting focus towards the profound impact of transforming individual lives.
Beyond Celebrities: A Conclave Focused on Personal Change
The conclave presented a powerful narrative: that the quiet, consistent work of changing lives one person at a time can be as impactful as the buzz generated by high-profile celebrity visits. It moved beyond theory into a series of thought-provoking panel discussions designed to explore the depth and breadth of modern coaching practices. The event served as a vibrant platform for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and collective visioning for the future of the profession in the region.
Exploring the Social Fabric: Coaching for NGOs, Women, and Elderly
A core segment of the conclave was dedicated to examining the expansive social impact of coaching. Esteemed speakers brought diverse perspectives to the forefront. Dr. Madhupa Bakshi, Dr. Suchandra Rudra, and Dr. Ratna Sinha led crucial discussions on the practical applications of coaching methodologies within non-governmental organizations, for the empowerment of women, and in enhancing the lives of the elderly. This focus underscored coaching's role not just in corporate corridors but as a tool for broader societal benefit and inclusive growth.
Alumni Leadership and a Collective Vision for the Future
The event was skillfully woven together by alumni-turned-facilitators Paromita Ghosh from Singapore and Suprita Sinha from Bangalore. Their involvement highlighted a successful cycle of learning and leadership within the coaching ecosystem. Participants at the conclave collectively envisioned a future where coaching evolves into a fundamental catalyst, driving transformation across personal, professional, and societal domains. The energy in Kolkata pointed towards an exciting new chapter where coaching principles become deeply integrated into India's journey of growth and self-discovery.
The successful hosting of this conclave by the global coaching body firmly places Eastern India, with Kolkata at its helm, on the map as a burgeoning hub for transformative coaching practices. It signals a growing awareness and acceptance of coaching as a vital discipline for the 21st century.
