Coaches’ Leadership Circle for Women |
|
Coaching and leadership are activities that are established in relationship with others. Too often, however, female coaches can become isolated from the people and resources that are needed to thrive in their positions. The purpose of this circle is to renew conversations and establish new connections and address strategies for meeting the challenges and complexities of leading as coaches.
Basketball BC is offering a unique opportunity for female coaches – a “Coaching leadership circle”.
The circle will be co-facilitated by Kathleen Burke and Allison McNeill.
Sunday, November 29, 1:00 – 3:00pm
Basketball BC Office #310 – 7155 Kingsway Burnaby, BC
