Mary Hanafin T.D., Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport, today (11th October 2010) announced that Ireland will host the 17th annual European Mentoring and Coaching Council Conference which will take place in Fitzpatrick’s Hotel, Killiney, Co Dublin from the 18th to the 20th of November 2010.
Minister Hanafin said that this conference will welcome delegates from 23 Countries to Ireland, many of whom will also extend their stay to spend some time getting to know Ireland a little better. “It is a wonderful opportunity to showcase Ireland to delegates who are travelling from South Africa, Europe, Australia, America and Canada”.
Paula King, President of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) in Ireland said “increasingly we need leaders who can create a context in which they can empower their staff to make their own ‘intelligent’ decisions. Management skills of leaders now must include coaching and mentoring.” King says that the conference will welcome thought leaders, academics, authors and practitioners from the field of coaching and mentoring to Ireland to share their knowledge and expertise. “I am convinced that this conference will be the most dynamic to date and urge anyone who is interested in listening to cutting edge speakers, attending stimulating workshops delivered by the best in the industry and networking with coaches and mentors from every corner of the world to attend” .
