The Professional School of Business Coaches of the Centre for Training and Consulting and the Eurasian Creative Guild have been working on this event for several years. While we were gaining professionalism and conducting scientific research in the field of andragogy, the Guild was gaining experience in organising large-scale international events.

At the first championship we decided to see which coaches and trainers would come to us, at what level they would lay the foundation for further championships. One of the important messages of the championship was to show that coaching and business coaching are professions with their own rules, standards, requirements and creativity.

Evaluation criteria were developed to enable the jury to assess the participants’ performance from a professional perspective. What methods and techniques were used? How interesting and innovative was the content of the masterclass? How was communication within the group organised? What professional or flexible skills were developed? How was the time management handled? How was the development of the participants monitored? What objectives were achieved?

The jury members from Belarus, Uzbekistan, Russia and Kazakhstan, who met for the first time at the championship, showed great responsibility, dedication and discipline. This enabled the jury to conduct the event strictly according to the schedule. Three members of the jury held masterclasses for participants and guests of the championship: Victor Grebennikov (guru of Kazakh psychology and coaching), “About money: general and individual financial traumas”; Kuralay Nurkadilova (fashion expert and financial coach), “How to become a global brand”; and Taina Kaunis (expert in branding for creative people), “From unpacking personality to brand packaging”.

Nodira Abdullaeva (Director of the Professional Training Centre in Tashkent) and Maria Muchinskaya (Ambassador for Peace and mentor of young poets) brought a calm reliability to the hard work of the jury.
What was the professional individuality of the participants of the championship?
