The first Executive Coaching Summit was held in 1999. The ECS was created because many executive coaches felt a void-that there was no organization or event focusing on the unique needs and issues of the executive coach. Executive coaches felt that they did not have a voice and executive coaching was included with all other forms of coaching within the International Coach Federation charter.
The ECS has been held annually since 1999 and has generated a number of initiatives designed to complement efforts by the ICF and other organizations that support and offer services for executive coaches. Examples of such initiatives include:
- The ICF Executive Coaching Committee
- The ICF Executive Coaching Track/Panels at ICF Conferences
- The ICF Executive Coaching Special Interest Group (SIG)
- The ICF Internal Coaching SIG (now called "Council on Internal Coaching Programs")
- The ECNet
- The International Journal of Coaching in Organizations
- The International Consortium for Coaching in Organizations (ICCO)
Each year, the ECS produces a white paper or executive summary of the Summit, which can be found:
Complete summaries of Summits I to VII, from 1999 to 2006, can be found in our the Resources Section.
