As we approach the end of the year for the Coaching Café Podcast, we continue to share valuable insights for our coaching community. The 2025 ICF Global Coaching Study Final Report has just been released, offering one of the most comprehensive views of the global coaching profession to date.

Featuring data gathered from over 10,000 coaches worldwide—including, importantly, managers and leaders who coach—this 73-page report provides a rich picture of where the coaching industry stands today and where it’s heading.

We know many coaches don’t have time to read the full report, and that’s where we come in.

Join us for this Coaching Café Podcast as we synthesise the key highlights, focusing on what’s most relevant for Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia-Pacific region, while also exploring the global trends shaping the coaching profession for our international followers.

You’ll walk away with:
✔️ The latest data on industry growth, trends, and demographics
✔️ Insights into coaching opportunities in our region
✔️ A global perspective on the evolution of the coaching profession including managers and leaders as coaches
✔️ Inspiration to help you feel a part of the global coaching profession.

Whether you’re an experienced coach, a manager or leader who coaches, or an emerging practitioner, this session will help you stay informed, inspired, and connected to the wider profession.

As you will be aware the ICF Core Competencies have been revised and during the Coaching Cafe Podcasts we have been diving deeper into some of the more thought-provoking changes. Some are simple to understand, while others invite us—as coaches—to pause and reflect.

This week, we turn our attention to one of the more controversial updates: the introduction of the word ‘knowledge’ in the revised ICF Core Competencies.

The updated competency now states that the coach “shares observations, knowledge, and feelings, without attachment, that have the potential to create new insights for the client.”

But what does this really mean? How do we interpret “knowledge” within the coaching partnership? Does this blur the line between coaching, mentoring, and consulting—or does it expand our understanding of what’s possible in coaching?

Join us for this Coaching Café Podcast as we explore:
✔️ The context and intent behind this update to the ICF Core Competencies
✔️ How “knowledge” aligns with the ICF definition of coaching
✔️ What this means for your coaching practice and ethical boundaries
✔️ How to share knowledge without attachment—and still evoke awareness

Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or a new coach, this session will challenge your thinking and help you navigate what “knowledge” means in professional coaching today.
