The Jordan Chapter of ICF

A Chapter. A Community. A Decade.

Ten years ago, a small group of coaches in Jordan made a decision — to build something that would matter.What followed was a decade of growth, connection, and commitment to raising the standard of professional coaching in Jordan and across the region. Members who became mentors. Coaches who became leaders. A local chapter that earned its place on the global coaching map.In this address, Haitham Shaheen, ICF Regional Director for MENA and Asia Pacific, reflects on what ten years of ICF Jordan has built — in numbers, in people, and in impact — and what the next chapter looks like for the coaching profession in our region.

Some people talk about resilience. Chris Moon lived it.A survivor of Khmer Rouge captivity. A landmine blast that took his arm and his leg. And one year later — the London Marathon. Then the Marathon des Sables. Then the Badwater Death Valley 135-mile Ultra — becoming the world’s first amputee ultra-distance runner.Chris Moon MBE is not joining Wellficient™ simply to inspire with his story. He is coming to equip leaders with practical tools, behavioural strategies, and the mindset required to remain effective when circumstances are volatile, pressure is high, and the environment keeps changing.Because leadership in challenging environments is not theory to Chris. It is something he has lived through with grit, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to keep moving forward when conditions are far from ideal.This is the talk that will stay with you long after May 9th.
