Celebrating Success: Our Best-Ever Online Congress!
I am incredibly proud to share the overwhelming success of our September online congress. As one of the main organizers, seeing the feedback confirms that the hard work and dedication of our entire team truly paid off. We didn't just meet expectations; we exceeded them according to your feedback - a huge thank you to all those, who filled in the feedback forms!
Why This Event Resonated So Deeply
The exceptional feedback consistently highlighted four areas where we truly excelled:
- Heartfelt Content: The keynote speech deeply touched and moved our participants, creating a strong emotional connection to the material right from the start.
- Seamless Execution: A massive thank you is due to our two fantastic moderators. Their energy kept the virtual room buzzing, and their meticulous organization ensured the entire program felt structured and incredibly easy to follow for everyone joining online.
- Actionable Inspiration: The interactive sessions were a clear hit. Our attendees found the workshops both inspirational and highly informative, leaving them with clear paths for application.
- We also received lots of positive words about the online world cafe, which gave space for deep conversations and professional exchanges.
This success is a direct reflection of the passion and commitment of everyone involved - thank you!
Looking Ahead: Budapest 2026!
Inspired by this fantastic feedback, we are already deep into planning for next year! As we have previously announced, our next gathering will be in-person in Budapest, Hungary.
Mark your calendars for: „EASC Connects 2026 - Democracy, Diversity, Dialogue - Inclusive Coaching and Supervision for All“ on Sept 18-19th, 2026!
We can't wait to transition this energy into an engaging, face-to-face experience next year. Keep an eye out for the Call for Papers announcement in the coming weeks!

Reflections from EASC Connects 2025 and beyond
Being a keynote speaker at EASC Connects 2025 didn’t end when I signed out of Zoom or waited for feedback to arrive. Speaking about how our inner narratives shape our lives made me think even more about the small, everyday moments that define us.
Not long ago, I met a little girl in a grocery store. She pointed at me and curiously asked her mom about my wheelchair. Her mom smiled and said, “That chair helps the lady move through life. And it makes sure she can live it to the fullest.”
Her words offered me a fresh perspective on how I see myself: not just as a person in a wheelchair, but as someone who can always choose to experience life fully, in her own way. That simple encounter became a powerful reminder of what wholeness and living life to the fullest truly mean.
