The world is in metacrisis — wars, climate breakdown, political polarization, relentless organizational turbulence. Fear, grief, and exhaustion exist in and affect every team, with different people experiencing crisis in different ways — a reality team coaching can overlook. In this honest and courageous panel, four practitioners explore what coaching can genuinely offer in these conditions, where its limits lie, and how we as coaches are entangled in the very systems we seek to help navigate. No easy answers. Just essential questions and courageous conversation about coaching teams through chaos.
