Meeting Professionals International (MPI) and Visit Fort Worth have partnered to create a new coaching program that matches planners with coaches to complete a six-week program that helps them define their career trajectories.
“Crafting Your Professional Development” and “Continuing Your Professional Development Journey”—MPI’s new coaching cohorts—are curated experiences designed to empower emerging talent and seasoned experts alike.
The program takes a holistic approach, focusing on topics such as making better decisions, managing stress, clarifying values in work and life and increasing resilience.
“These programs serve as beacons of innovation and empowerment, offering transformative journeys for participants at every career stage,” says Tim Luepke, director of the MPI Academy, in a media announcement. “Interactive elements, peer learning and mentorship opportunities enrich the participant experience, fostering meaningful connections and actionable insights.”
Each coaching cohort serves two different groups. For young professionals embarking on their journey, “Crafting Your Professional Development” serves as a compass, guiding them through foundational pillars of success. From crafting compelling narratives to mastering networking strategies and honing leadership skills, every facet is expertly curated to equip participants for the demands of the industry.
Senior-level professionals are set up with coaches in the “Continuing Your Professional Development Journey” pathway of the program, which focuses on navigating the complexities of leadership roles within the events arena. Facilitated by seasoned coaches with a deep understanding of the industry’s intricacies, this program delves into advanced topics such as executive presence, stakeholder management and decision making.
Post-program support for all participants includes access to resources, networking avenues and continued learning.
The first coaching cohort wrapped up in early August with a total of 20 participants completing the program. The Fall 2024 Coaching cohort is now taking applications and kicks off this October at IMEX America in Las Vegas.
