***PLEASE READ THIS FULL PAGE BEFORE MAKING A SUBMISSION***

You are invited to reflect on your coaching practice and to anonymously share a secret about it using words and / or images on a square canvas. Your secret can be anything related to your coaching practice as long as it is true.

  • This could be about a client, another coach, yourself… something you have never told anyone or said out loud - not even in supervision.

  • It could be challenging, positive, regretful, hopeful, celebratory…

You can create and submit a physical or digital secret:

  • Physical submissions should be square and measure 120mm x 120mm. They can be created from any mailable material. Please anonymously post your submission to:

  • Digital submissions should be square, with a guideline of 120mm x 120mm. Please anonymously upload your submission as an image to this form.

You are invited to be creative in the design of your secret, but please don’t use any copyrighted images in the creation of your design or it will not be possible to share your submission. There are a multitude of public domain images available online - see https://www.moma.co.uk/public-domain-images/ for more information, including a comprehensive selection of websites featuring images that are available in the public domain.

Submissions may be shared at instagram.com/coachsecrets. Submission does not guarantee that your entry will be selected for sharing.
