🚀 Today’s the Day at SXSW

ICF Greater Austin is hosting an interactive Core Conversation as part of the SXSW Workplace Track.

Innovation Under Pressure: A Coaching Approach to Getting Unstuck, Fast

📍 Today | 10:00 AM
Hilton Austin | Room 410

When pressure rises, thinking can narrow. Coaching helps create the pause where new thinking becomes possible.

Join us for an interactive conversation where you’ll experience how powerful questions, deep listening, and reflection can help unlock fresh ideas and momentum—fast.

If you're at SXSW, come participate in the conversation.

What is a Core Conversation at SXSW? 💡

SXSW is known for bold ideas, breakthrough technology, and creative innovation. But in the middle of all that energy, something powerful can happen in a simple conversation.

That’s the idea behind our Core Conversation.

This Core Conversation brings coaching into the room, not as advice or consulting, but as a space for deeper thinking. It’s an interactive experience designed to help participants pause, reflect, and explore new perspectives on real challenges.

Instead of telling people what to do, coaching conversations focus on:
🔹 Asking powerful questions
🔹 Challenging assumptions
🔹 Unlocking fresh thinking
🔹 Creating clarity and forward momentum

At SXSW 2026, ICF Greater Austin coaches, Christina Miser Batten, ACC, CPCC and Sharanya Rao, PCC, CPCC will host Core Conversations that explore how coaching can support leaders and teams navigating complexity, pressure, and innovation.
Because sometimes the most impactful thing in a room full of ideas… is the right question.
