Think for a moment about the people in our profession who changed something fundamental — not with recognition in mind, but through presence, courage, and belief in human potential.

Now is the moment to celebrate them.

The 2026 ICF Coaching Impact Awards is your opportunity to shine a light on a coach whose work reflects the heart of our profession. We’re seeking nominations grounded in concrete outcomes and meaningful change — stories that help show what coaching makes possible.

In addition to the Coaches category, nominations are also open in Organizations, Coaching Education, and Social Impact, reflecting the many ways coaching creates change.

Nominations close April 26 at 11:59 p.m. (New York). Take a moment to recognize a peer whose work inspires you and helps elevate our profession — or even step forward yourself.

Start Your Nomination.
