In this session, we have the pleasure of welcoming Dr Josie McLean, Rashmi Shetty, and Claire d’Aboville. They will help us weave together the core insights and emergent themes from the “12×12 – Coaching for a Regenerative World” project.

Claire, who convened the CCA 12×12 series, will share an overview of the learning from the research she conducted with Francesca Smith (CCA Brasil) and Padraic O’Donnell (CCA USA).

She will be joined by Josie and Rashmi, two of the coaches featured in the study, who both integrate regenerative practices into their work. Together they will explore the on-going need for regenerative coaching as we navigate the complexities of our changing climates and ecosystems. We’ll hear Josie (Australia) and Rashmi (India) share about their personal experiences.

You will be invited to ask them questions about their motivations, challenges and approaches.

To enable a deeper conversation, we invite you to watch Josie’s and Rashmi’s interviews conducted for this project before joining the session.
However, if you have not watched them, you will still benefit from the session.

The session will be hosted by the CCA Australia and New Zealand community and moderated by Julie Goodhart, one of its members.

What if the real obstacle to organisational transformation is not a lack of information or strategy — but the “invisible architectures” within: cognitive biases, emotional climates, informal alliances, unspoken fears, collective fatigue, implicit power, unprocessed grief, identity tensions…

All of these are “systemic shadows” that no business plan can address? And in these are the real space to recover energy for transformation.
Systemic coaching is precisely the tool we need to unlock real regenerative change?

Stéphane Riot is one of 12 pioneering coaches identified across the world by the CCA for the 12×12 — Coaching for a Regenerative World project, and the representative of France. For over 20 years, he has accompanied leaders and organisations through an approach he calls that of an alchemist — combining the reinvention of business models with deep inner transformation.

“It’s not enough to change the system from outside. We have to address and (transmute) the inner shadows of leaders and their organizations.”

— Stéphane Riot, interview 12×12

IN THIS SESSION, WE WILL EXPLORE:

• Key concepts of systemic thinking — inspired by the Capra Course and applied to regenerative coaching: how to work with invisible organisational architectures, shadow work and systemic awareness to support real transformation
• Breakout group work — explore and embody these approaches in your own coaching practice
• Plenary sharing — harvesting emergences and co-reflecting with coaches from around the world

Jing Ye is one of the 12 pioneers who participated in the “Coaching for a Regenerative World- The 12×12 Research project” led by CCA members Fran Smith (CCA Brazil), Claire d’Aboville (GCP), Padraic O’Donnell (CCA USA) and Kat Haber (CCA USA).

We are delighted to invite you to a special webinar featuring a pioneering coach working at the intersection of sustainability, coaching, and ecological awareness in China. Drawing from over a decade of experience supporting individuals, organizations, and communities in the sustainability field, this session offers a unique opportunity to explore how coaching can expand our perspective—from the individual to the interconnected living systems we are part of. As highlighted in her journey, this work is not only about impact, but about “making our world larger” through deeper connection and awareness .

In this interactive session, participants will be gently invited to reconnect with nature through a reflective check-in, bringing a natural element into the shared space. The workshop will introduce key concepts such as “a wider sense of self” from Active Hope and the idea of the inner living system —the “Gaia within us”- offering a powerful lens to understand ourselves as part of a larger ecological whole. 

Through a live coaching demonstration and group exercises, participants will experience perspective-shifting in real time. This approach reflects a core insight from ecological coaching: that transformation begins not only with knowledge, but with how we relate – to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

Whether you are a coach, a sustainability practitioner, or simply someone curious about new ways of seeing and being, this session offers both practical tools and a meaningful space for reflection. We will close with a Q&A, inviting participants to explore how these ideas can be integrated into their own work and lives.

In collaboration with the ‘coaching in and with Nature Pod, this powerful embodied experience takes participants on an 4.6km walk through 4.6 billion years of Earth history – exploring the place of the human in the more-than-human world.

Join us in a transformational journey bringing the rational and somatic together. It is an invitation to view the world differently, encouraging positive action and advocacy for a regenerative earth and helps put into context humanity’s rich heritage. This experience gives an insight into the interconnectedness of all life and a sense of timefulness through an immersive walk in nature

We are walking 4.6km in the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens in Scotland, where the diverse plants, trees and water features give their gifts and expression to understand Earth’s story. There will also be mindfulness and nature practices throughout the walk to connect deeply with nature and understand our relationship and appreciation for the long arc of deep time and the impact humans have had in such a short part of that time.

This walk is in collaboration with Drylaw walking group from Drylaw Community Centre in North Edinburgh, a community centre supporting local people through social, cultural, economic and environmental events and sessions.

The walk is free to join and all are welcome with routes that are physically accessible throughout!

We are meeting at 10am at the East gate in Inverleith Road. Please let Hazel know if you are joining so we don’t leave without you.

Join Dumi Magadlela, regenerative leadership and team coach, speaker and systems thinker, for a deeply reflective and transformative session as part of the “12 x 12 Research Project – Coaching for a Regenerative World”.

The session will be hosted by the CCA Africa chapter.

Drawing from indigenous African wisdom, the philosophy of Ubuntu and nature-based ways of knowing, Dumi invites us to reimagine leadership beyond extraction and performance, towards wholeness, interdependence and life-affirming systems.

This session will explore and share lessons such as:

·       Ubuntu and indigenous knowledge systems for navigating complexity and uncertainty,

·       How leaders can embody regeneration in organisations, communities and personal practice, and

·       Reconnecting and embracing who we are (part of nature) as a guide for humanising and regenerating genuine transformation in our world.

This is not just a nice-to-have conversation. It is a call to remember who we are, where we belong and how we can lead with humanity at heart in service of all life on the planet.

The session invites leaders to move beyond extraction toward connection, wholeness and life-affirming impact. This is a timely call to lead in service of people, planet and future generations!

Blow the horn and let the whole global village know about this gathering in our circle of life.

A IA, as pressões por sustentabilidade e as rápidas mudanças de mercado estão forçando líderes a tomarem decisões que nenhum executivo consegue resolver sozinho.

Cada vez mais, o real desafio da liderança não reside na capacidade individual, mas em como as equipes de liderança pensam, se alinham e agem em conjunto.

Ao mesmo tempo, o coaching como profissão está sob crescente escrutínio em muitos mercados. A maneira mais poderosa de fortalecer sua credibilidade é simples: demonstrar valor organizacional real.

Nesta conversa, exploraremos como os coaches podem ajudar líderes a alavancarem suas equipes de liderança ao enfrentarem desafios complexos, como a adoção de IA, a disrupção da força de trabalho e a transformação estratégica.

Juntos, discutiremos:

• Como o coaching pode migrar do desenvolvimento de liderança individual para a criação de valor organizacional

• Por que desafios complexos como a IA exigem melhores conversas entre as equipes de liderança

• Perguntas sistêmicas práticas que os coaches podem usar para ajudar os líderes a potencializarem suas equipes

• Um framework simples que os participantes podem levar e aplicar imediatamente em seu trabalho

Esta sessão será altamente interativa e incluirá enquetes ao vivo e discussões com os participantes.

Se você faz o coaching de líderes que navegam por mudanças complexas, esta conversa oferecerá tanto insights quanto ferramentas práticas para expandir o impacto do seu trabalho.

On March 5, 2026, Coaching at Work hosted its Climate Action Day 2026 in collaboration with the Climate Coaching Alliance. As part of this special event, the 12×12 research team was interviewed by Liz Hall, editor of Coaching at Work magazine.

In this conversation, Claire d’Aboville, Francesca Smith, and Kat Haber share the story behind the 12×12 research project: how it began, what it seeks to uncover, and why it matters now. They also offer practical insights and reflections for coaches who want to integrate sustainability and regenerative thinking into their practice.

Zoe Cohen is a collapse aware coach, citizen, mother and activist. As a highly experienced board-level director, and Master Coach, she combines her two greatest passions: acting for social and ecological justice, on our one, shared planetary home; with enabling and encouraging people to shine and to take action.

Zoe’s understanding of the existential threat we’re facing, combined with her love for nature and desire for justice for the next generation, the global south and all non-human life, in the face of decades of political and business inaction, drove her to take direct action. She joined Extinction Rebellion (XR) in early 2019. Amongst her actions, in April 2021, she and six other women carefully cracked windows at Barclays Bank UK headquarters in Canary Wharf. Barclays were the biggest fossil fuel funder in Europe, and also major funders of habitat destruction and plastic production globally. Zoe took this action as an act of love and as a nonviolent intervention to send a message to the Board members on the top floor of that building. 

She and her co-defendants were found “guilty” of “criminal damage” in late 2022 and sentenced in early 2023. Zoe was given a 7 month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

Zoe will join facilitators Fiona Anderson and Katarzyna Schubert-Panecka for a conversation about how she navigates coaching, activism and being alive to the mess we’re in.

She’ll share her core values – truth, love, compassion and justice – and how knowing that “the ship has already sailed” to stop catastrophic climate impacts drives her to open up space to talk about and to act on the great amount that can still be done.
