🧭 Your Coaching Compass – Direction-Setting Session 🧭

🗓️ Wednesday, 21 Jan 2026 | 7pm

Inspire. Connect. Progress. Together.

Start 2026 with clarity, connection, and a coaching community ready to grow alongside you.

This inaugural Your Coaching Compass session is all about you, your questions, your challenges, and the support you feel would strengthen your coaching journey. We want to hear what coaches need, what mentors need, and where our community would most benefit from guidance in 2026.

To help us set that direction, we’re bringing together a panel of four highly experienced Coach Educators and ENSW Coaching Committee members:

Kristen Closson | Ben Netterfield | Sharmayne Spencer | Sarah Venamore

How this session works:

📧 You are invited to submit any coaching question: beforehand, via email, through private message, or live in the chat on the night.

❓ All questions will remain anonymous unless you request otherwise, and any scenarios discussed will be kept general (no identifying people, places, or dates).

🦯 This is a safe, supportive space designed to offer guidance, not naming and shaming.

Ask us anything, including:

• progressing through the coaching pathway
• assessing effectively as an SSTA or CE
• strategies for teaching distances and jump comprehension
• keeping focus and engagement in teenage riders
• building confidence, structure, and clarity in your coaching
• or any coaching challenge you’re navigating right now

Your questions will directly shape the two dedicated mentor sessions we’ll be delivering later in 2026, ensuring they are relevant, responsive, and truly reflective of our NSW coaching community.

💻 Online via Zoom

🎟️ Free for EA Coaches & Coach Candidates | $15 General Admission

Come with curiosity. Leave with clarity, direction, and a stronger connection to your coaching peers.
