In coaching and leadership conversations
2026 Topics
Coaching Café kicked off 2026 with our annual crystal ball on trends in coaching and leadership conversations.
Each year, we start by asking a simple question:
What’s going to be at the forefront of coaching and leadership conversations this year?
So, we stare into our double espresso coffee cups—and the latest research—to bring you our predictions for the conversations, trends, and challenges shaping workplaces right now. We explore what’s on the minds of leaders, what coaches are being asked to support, and what to stay alert to as the year unfolds.
By exploring these trends, you’ll gain insight into the latest thinking and how it’s likely to show up in real coaching and leadership conversations in 2026.
- The key coaching and leadership trends shaping 2026
- Insights into the conversations leaders are having—or avoiding
- Emerging challenges and capability gaps to watch for
- Ideas you can apply immediately in your coaching and leadership practice
Keeping connected
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.
