The Real Reason Only One in Sixteen Practitioners Uses AI in Their Work
The 2025 ICF Global Coaching Study contains two numbers that should be read side by side, because separately they are unremarkable and together they describe something structural. The first: 54 per cent of coaches globally name improved platforms and technology-driven solutions as a priority for meeting future client demand. The second: 6 per cent report […]
Your Intellectual Property Is the Smaller of What You Know
A phrase has been spreading through the AI-for-coaches market over the last few months, and it sounds so reasonable that almost nobody has examined it. The phrase is: train AI on your intellectual property. I think it’s important to examine it, because the definition of that middle term determines everything about what such a service […]
What Happens After Someone Tells the Truth to a Machine?
A recent Forbes analysis of around 6,000 conversations with an AI coach reported something the coaching profession has been circulating with a certain amount of enthusiasm. Entrepreneurs, it found, tell AI things they will not tell people. Fear of success. Uncertainty about direction. Difficulty holding boundaries. And, most revealingly, boredom with their own clients. That […]
Awareness Is The Map, Not The Territory: Why Understanding A Pattern Rarely Removes It
Ask a room full of experienced coaches and therapists a simple question. Of your most stuck clients, how many were stuck because they could not see their pattern? Almost no hands go up. The stuck client is rarely the unaware one. More often she is the most self-aware person in her own life, able to […]
What an AI Trained on a Teacher’s Archive Can and Cannot Do for an Awakening
Two of the most established teachers in the consciousness field have each launched an AI product this year, and I think the more interesting story is not that they did it, but that they built two genuinely different things. One product is described as grounded in a complete archive of teachings, decades of recordings and […]
The Practitioner Nobody Is Training: What Happens After The Certificate
There is a person in this industry that almost no one is designing for, and the oversight is remarkable once you see it. It is the practitioner who qualified last year. She invested a serious sum in a certification, gave up her evenings for a few months, passed, and now holds a credential in a […]
When The Field Admits The Ceiling: Why Capacity And Clearing Are Not The Same Work
Something quietly significant happened in the nervous-system world this spring. Some of the most visible educators in the regulation space began publishing, in plain language, that the work is not landing for a great many of the people doing it. Not as a marketing tease. As a concession. After years of teaching people to track […]
Whose Shame Is It, Really?
There is a sentence that gets said to survivors of abuse, usually with the kindest of intentions, that I want to take apart. If you speak up, you could stop it happening to someone else. If you stay silent, the cycle continues. It is offered as encouragement, as a reason to find courage, as a […]
The New Duty That Turns Every Harassment Policy Into a Liability
There is a date that every organisation in the United Kingdom should have in its calendar, and most do not. In October 2026, a new duty under the Employment Rights Act comes into force, and it quietly raises the bar for what employers are legally required to do about harassment. The change is contained in […]
Your Book Is the Best Place to Start and the Worst Place to Stop
If you have written a book, you have done something most practitioners never do. You have taken the sprawling, tacit, hard-won contents of your expertise and forced them into a structure clear enough that a stranger can follow it. That is genuinely difficult work, and the people who help coaches and experts get their thinking […]
