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.

What Comes After Growth Mindset
How we show up and interact, reveals what we value, what we fear, how we think and what we believe. In this session we begin by noticing. Notice how we tend to show up in conversation. We will explore four types of mindsets that influence how we engage in conversation. The characteristics produce an energetic signature. Our mindset influences tone, timing, and ultimately then, how others perceive our trustworthiness. By applying several of the ICF sub-competencies, learn how to notice when a judgement arises and pause to allow curiosity to bubble up so we can generate new awareness that is the seed of evolution. The session offers an opportunity to match mindset traits with a specific business context, key relationship(s), and professional experience, applied first to self and second to your client context.
