The International Coaching Federation Eastern Europe & Africa Chapter Leaders Forum in Istanbul

Back from the International Coaching Federation Eastern Europe & Africa Chapter Leaders Forum in Istanbul where Christina Michaelidou and I represented the Board of Directors of ICF Cyprus Chapter — inspired, energized, and grateful.

Over three days we:

🌍 Connected with leaders from across regions
💡 Exchanged ideas and best practices
🤝 Explored new ways to collaborate and grow together

The international spirit of learning and partnership was the real highlight. I’m bringing back fresh insights, stronger connections, and renewed clarity for the road ahead.

Big thanks to our ICF Regional Team for your vision and support: Malcolm Fiellies, Eliza Tsolakou, Sofia Rodrigues, Florent Schaeffer and to ICF Turkey Chapter for the warm welcome: Beyza Erdem and Cigdem Karadeniz.

And deep gratitude to all the amazing leaders who shared their wisdom and passion — what a privilege to learn together!

Raluca Cimpea, Irma Guramishvili, Gordana Kovačević Hiti, Darja Zorko Mencin, Dagmara Nowicka, Tsietsi Telite, George Ngugi, Nikolina Nikolova, Elena Semenchuk, Irini Nikolaidou, Claudiu Gura, Andras Sebok, Scofray Nana Yaw Yeboah, Herbert Olowo, Stephen Mukasa, Emily Nwankwo, Elena Grigoryeva, Marieta Macharashvili, Tessa Louw, Ebru Kaya Caymaz and others.

Together, we grow — not just as chapters, but as a global professional coaching community. 🌍✨
