Course Details:
The start of a new year presents us all with a natural opportunity to pause, reflect, and reset. This interactive session with the ICF Career Coaching Community of Practice invites participants to set intentions for the year ahead — not just for themselves as coaches, but also for the clients they serve. Unlike resolutions, which are often rigid and short-lived, intentions are rooted in values and vision, offering a flexible foundation for decisions and growth throughout the year.
Through guided reflection and peer discussion, participants will explore how their own professional paths align with the year ahead and identify practical ways to integrate intention-setting into client work. Together, we will share strategies, resources, and inspiration for helping clients clarify priorities, focus their energy, and navigate change with greater purpose.
By the end of the session, coaches will leave with renewed clarity, actionable approaches for themselves and their clients, and the collective energy of a community committed to growth and support in the year ahead.

Radical Listening For Coaches
As a group, professional coaches tend to be good listeners. Listening is so central to what we do, in fact, that it is one of our core competencies. This does not mean, however, that we can improve! In this interactive session, Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener invites you to reexamine listening from new angles. We will build on traditional notions of “active listening” to better understand the role of authenticity, assertiveness, and motivation in the listening process. You will leave this session with new attitudes toward listening, more targeted language to describe it, and experiments to try in your own coaching practice.
Silent Supervision: The Mystery of the Unspoken
As we serve in the role of a thought partner or facilitator, in what way can the silence support supervision? Can the silence also result in unintended consequences? While we can agree that supervision is a reflective space, we can also agree on the myriad circumstances within that reflection. Join Reginald Jackson in exploring the silent spaces between the supervision conversation and what can emerge not only IN the silence but BECAUSE of the silence. This session is meant to be engaging and interactive, sourcing the knowledge and experience of the collective. Be prepared for a rich discussion.
