~ Because Work Matters to Community ~

Brought to you by Worksystems, CoachCon 2025 is a one-day mini conference that offers career coaches innovative strategies and tools for their work with participants.

Attend four practical, interactive workshops that deliver tools you can use while coaching.

8:30 AM	Continental Breakfast & Networking
9:30 AM	Session 1: “Coaching the Whole Person: Strategies for Equitable and Empowering Career Development” Mariana Zaragoza Participants facing barriers to employment navigate much more than job readiness; they juggle housing insecurity, health concerns, systemic discrimination, and family responsibilities. This interactive workshop reframes career coaching as “whole-person” coaching, equipping workforce professionals with tools to support career goals while honoring participants’ full life contexts.
10:45 AM	Break & Networking
11:00 AM	Session 2: “Honoring Participant Voice: A Storytelling Approach” Soumary Vongrassamy Learn ways to create meaningful opportunities for your participants - especially those from marginalized communities - to willingly share more about their experiences and insights.
12:15 PM	Lunch & Sector Tabling
1:30 PM	Session 3: "Career Coaching for Quality Jobs" Casey Milligan & Liza Morehead Harness new tools, based on labor market information, to enhance your coaching practice. We’ll review regional workforce trends and introduce the Discovering Quality Jobs Profiles.
2:45 PM	Break & Sector Tabling
3:00 PM	Session 4: "Coaching With AI" Matthew Romero Let AI carry the weight so you can carry the people. Expect live prompts you can steal, firm guardrails to keep things ethical, and people-first tactics for clients with gaps, nontraditional paths, or justice involvement. You’ll leave with actual tools and the confidence to make AI your tireless junior teammate.
4:15 PM	Networking, Survey, Raffle & Good Byes
