Introducing One ICF | A taster from a Coaching World interview with
ICF Coach Training Vice President Luke Davis.

ICF forges ahead and empowers the world through coaching.

"When you hear “One” ICF, we’re talking about an ecosystem where we now have seven independent parts that are working together – six family organisations and the overall ICF.

It’s about having this ecosystem with all these parts, but that then comes together in this perfect unison of leveraging each other’s strengths; creating economies of scale; and creating collaborative partnerships to be able to engage and talk about what the future looks like, what the current world of coach training or professional coaches or coaching in organisations looks like and how can we utilise each other to talk about that vision and mission, about what we want to accomplish."

What do you think of the new One ICF brand identity? What Qs do you have for us about this new brand and what it means for you and your coaching?

5 Tips: The First Time Manager’s Guide to Difficult Conversations

No one likes difficult conversations. But you may notice in your coaching of first-time managers, that they might be even more weary of having them.

"First-time managers tend to be disproportionately focused on getting along well with their direct reports—especially those who may have once been lateral peers. They may shy away from having tough conversations because they’re concerned about the negative impact on the relationship."

Have you found this with your coaching of first-time managers? Share below, how do you get around it?
