Flowing into Fall and Q4 2024

Happy Fall to each of you! Attending the Flow Boldly Conference in Cincinnati was incredible. Meeting with other like-minded coaches and colleagues in person filled my joy cup. Key takeaways included the fulfillment of networking with coaches from the Midwest region, abundant energy, and learning within every conversation. The breakouts and main stage sessions were full of new ideas to utilize in my practice. Attending all MCDC Conferences is a must for my coaching skills, networking, and business growth.

The 2026 Midwest Coaches Development Conference will be held in Des Moines! We are proud and thrilled to be the upcoming host city. Please reach out to anyone on the board if you are interested in helping plan and volunteer for the committees. It will take many hands, and we have the team to do it! Save the Date: September 23-26, 2026, at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott.
