Sharon Birkman, President and CEO, states “The Columbia Coaching Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the potential and performance of both individuals and organizations. This goal is similar to ours at Birkman – to create better leaders, teams, and careers – with our in-depth assessment which reveals the motivations, perceptions, and behaviors of people. We are excited to participate in the Columbia Coaching Conference for the second time because we see the importance of enriching the practices of the coaches and leaders of tomorrow. The Columbia Coaching Conference is continuing to expand, as is the coaching industry as a whole, and we are eager to contribute to it.”
