Why Great Coaches Don’t Get Hired—and What to Do About It
2026-06-09 12:00 - 13:00
Being highly trained doesn’t always mean being hired. In this session with Sophia Casey MCC Speaker, Executive Coach, we explore what decision-makers are actually responding to—and how coaches can shift from strong capability to clear hireability.

As Phase 6 of 9 of the ICF South Florida Chapter Business Building Series, this Power Hour introduces the HIRED model and breaks down where conversations typically stall and how to move them forward with more clarity and intention.
You’ll gain insight into why opportunities don’t convert, what strengthens decision readiness, and how this connects to ICF Core Competencies such as Establishes and Maintains Agreements and Listens Actively.

Leadership Through Voice, Power & Presence
2026-06-23 11:00 - 12:00
When leaders bring the wisdom of lived experience, the courage of authenticity, and the generosity to share both, the conversation becomes far richer than any single perspective could offer.

We witnessed that during our pre-session planning call. ICF DEIB BIPOC MRG is excited to bring you this much-needed conversation. Join us on June 23, 2026, from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM (ET), as Vijayalakshmi S – MCC ACTC MP and Dumi Magadlela PhD PCC explore: Leadership Through Voice, Power & Presence.

Vijayalakshmi S – MCC ACTC MP is an award-winning MCC, ACTC, member of the distinguished ICF Global Enterprise Board

Dumi Magadlela, PhD, PCC, is a distinguished global coach leader and Former Director (at large) and former Chairperson – ICF Global Board

Drawing from their unique leadership journeys, they will share reflections, insights, and practical perspectives on finding your voice, using your power intentionally, and leading with presence.
We hope you’ll join us. If you have a question for Viji and Dumi, pls DM and we’ll weave that into our discussion here.

Mental Health & Positive Intelligence for Coaches
2026-06-25 12:00 - 13:30
Mental fitness is the foundation beneath every powerful coach. It’s what allows us to lead with clarity rather than exhaustion, to respond rather than react, and to stay rooted in purpose even when the world pulls at us from every direction. For Black coaches, this matters even more. We carry generational expectations, cultural brilliance, and the weight of representation. Mental fitness gives us the self-command to navigate all of it with power, not pressure.

The International Black Coaches Alliance (IBCA) invites you to attend a powerful session with Alicia R. McLain, MA, CPQC, PCC, focusing on strengthening that power and positive mental attitude under the theme: “Mental Health & Positive Intelligence for Coaches.”
In this session, you will learn:
✨ Coach from grounded presence, not survival mode
✨ Demonstrate resilience even in the current context
✨ Break cycles of stress in our communities by embodying a different way of being
✨ Lead with clarity, compassion, and cultural strength—the hallmarks of Black excellence
Join us to talk more about this together so you can not only understand what’s possible for yourself, but also for your communities, families, and business.

Stop Freezing When They Say No: Using Coaching to Navigate Objections and Move the Conversation Forward
2026-07-14 12:00 - 13:30
When potential clients hesitate, many coaches either retreat or start trying to convince. Both approaches weaken the conversation. In this session with Sophia Casey MCC Speaker, Executive Coach, we explore how to stay in the coaching seat and use curiosity and presence to explore what is actually behind objections.

As Phase 8 of 9 of the ICF South Florida Chapter Business Building Series, this Power Hour practices responses to real objections, works on coaching through “I need to think about it,” “not now,” and “too expensive,” and staying grounded instead of over-explaining.
You’ll gain coaching language techniques you can use immediately, confidence handling objections without pressure, and stronger, more effective conversations, and learn how this connects to ICF Core Competencies such as Maintains Presence and Evokes Awareness.
