Connecting, Coaching & Growing: The ICF Belgium Expat Networking Evening

This event will be held in English.

Living and working in Belgium as a coach whose native language isn't French or Dutch comes with unique advantages and distinct challenges. When your primary coaching language is English, building a sustainable local practice requires a strong anchor, a space where language is never a barrier, and where you can find mentorship, exchange real-world insights, and build lasting professional relationships.

Faced with an evolving global landscape, professional growth thrives on connection. Whether you are an expat coach, an international practitioner settled in Belgium, or exploring credentialing with ICF, true growth happens when we coach, learn, and grow together in a language we feel most comfortable in.

This interactive networking event is created by and for our growing English-speaking coaching community. It offers a dedicated space to experience peer coaching firsthand, discover the inner workings of ICF Belgium, and connect with a like-minded, international professional network.

What You Will Experience

This event goes beyond standard networking to offer active peer-to-peer engagement:

• Peer-to-Peer Speed Coaching: Give and receive real-time coaching with fellow professional coaches to sharpen your skills and gain fresh perspectives on your current practice.

• Discover ICF Belgium: Learn about the chapter's vision, upcoming English-led initiatives, credentialing pathways, and how ICF membership can enrich and transform your coaching journey.

• Expanded Expat & International Network: Connect with established coaches operating in English across Belgium, fostering collaboration, referrals, and peer mentorship.
