ICF has always been — and always will be — focused on advancing coaching. In our 30th year, we launched a significant transformation to embrace a new era of coaching excellence. This evolution was driven by our commitment to shape the future of coaching while inspiring current and future generations.

2025: Celebrating 30 Years of Inspiring Change

In 2025, we marked our 30th anniversary with a bold intention: to inspire 30 million hearts and minds through the transformative power of coaching. The response surpassed all expectations, reaching more than 400 million impressions worldwide. Together, our global coaching community celebrated innovation, championed inclusion, and deepened the collaboration that continues to make coaching a force for good.

2026: A New Look for a New Era

Rooted in our legacy and inspired by what’s ahead, we unveiled a new visual brand in 2026 — shaped by voices across continents, industries, and generations. Building on our evolved verbal identity, this moment reflects our commitment to excellence, forward-thinking, and humanity as we lead the next era of coaching worldwide.
