Coaches should never view themselves as having arrived at some mastery of skills or knowledge. The ability to coach is a skill and when not practiced or exercised, it becomes weak and ineffective. Research coaching conferences that are scheduled in the upcoming year. Pick 1 that you find interesting and tell the class about it. Include the name of the conference, the location, the dates, and a website for more information. Then, write a summary of what the conference offers and what particular sessions you might attend.
