5 ways Planet Coach will change in 2026 (and how to flex towards them!)

If you’ve been sensing that the coaching industry is shifting - that clients are craving something deeper, the world feels more complex, and the glossy old models of “success” aren’t quite landing anymore - you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m naming five emerging themes I’m seeing in our industry. These aren’t predictions pulled out of thin air; they’re real trends already unfolding that are reshaping what coaching is, how it works, and what clients genuinely want from us. If you’re a thoughtful coach who cares about depth, ethics, context, and meaningful client outcomes, this conversation will help you understand where we’re headed and how to position yourself for the year ahead. Listen in! For you! I’m creating a private podcast for coaches who love coaching but find the business side crunchy.
