The European Mentoring and Coaching Council held its 2025 annual conference from Monday 30 June to Wednesday 2 July 2025 at Warwick University, in partnership with EMCC UK. The published theme was “Windows of Wisdom, Mirrors of Growth.” The campus is Warwick University, in Coventry, Warwickshire; the organiser names Warwick University as the setting. EMCC Global’s announcement is the EMCC Global Annual Conference 2025 page. Hanover Executive is not affiliated with the organiser.
The conference
EMCC Global describes the gathering as its annual conference of the profession. The evening of 30 June was in-person orientation, local storytelling, and a welcome dinner. 1 July was workshops and panels for in-person and online participants, with the organiser naming ethics, humanity amid AI, and reflective learning as the ground. 2 July was in person: a World Café on challenges and opportunities of the profession in a global context, using the creative trails around the campus.
A European coaching and mentoring body spent three days on ethics, humanity amid AI, and reflective learning, then asked the profession to look at itself in a global context.
“Windows of Wisdom, Mirrors of Growth” is a theme about looking. A window that only faces the market is a dashboard. A mirror that only faces the brand is a communications exercise. A chief executive needs both a view out and a view of themselves, and should not outsource either to a slide.
Ethics sitting next to “humanity amid AI” on the 1 July agenda is the same pairing ICF Germany put on a Berlin stage a week earlier. Two European coaching bodies, in the same fortnight, put AI next to humanity in public. A Hanover sounding-board hour still will not draft your script. It will ask which sentence is yours.

What are you using AI for that you will not put your name on? Where is the unused hour in which you can hear yourself before a board hears you? Enquire with your seat and the kind of conversation.
