Welcome to the Resources segment of the new UK ICF website: this is the place where we welcome your contributions, sharing with us your experiences of being a coach and using different tools and techniques, while being in full service of the client.

This is also the place where we share case studies, interesting insights, interviews with key coaching professionals and new approaches to coaching that you might like to try.

For a client’s experience of coaching – and what they might be looking for when they select a coach – read an edited version of the ICF global study, which our member Maren Donata Urschel has prepared. A shorter version of this article first appeared in Coaching at work magazine.

To find out more about what the coaching scene in the UK looked like in 2000, read interviews with Aboodi Shabi and Elizabeth Ferguson, co-founders of UK ICF. They also tell us what they think the main challenges of the coaching profession are now, 10 years later.

Tony Barton is sharing his experience of being fired by a client, and Richard Fox asks how coaches can help business leaders to lead the road to economic recovery.
