I get asked this a lot. And the truth is, 2026 is going to be a big year for career coaches. The industry is changing, and if you’re not ready, you might be left behind. Here’s what’s coming: 1. Personal branding will be more important than ever: With AI becoming a bigger part of the job market, standing out will come down to how well you’ve built your personal brand. People don’t connect with algorithms; they connect with people. 2. Building community and accountability will be essential: Strategy alone won’t cut it. You need to build a community that supports each other, and create accountability systems that push clients to take action and get results. 3. Understanding your clients’ successes and failures is a game changer: Look at your most successful clients and your struggling ones. What are the patterns? What works, and what doesn’t? Use those insights to refine your coaching programs and double down on what gets results. The landscape is shifting fast, and now’s the time to prepare. I want to hear from you. What are you doing right now to prepare for 2026?

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (for those of you in the US). Between the food, family, and time to slow down… this time of year always gets me thinking about the people who shaped who I became. A lot of you know this, but growing up without a father wasn’t easy. I was lucky; I had an incredible mom who did everything she could. But not everyone gets that kind of support. That’s why 11 years ago, I joined Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida. That’s how I met Zach. At first, I honestly wasn’t sure if spending an hour or two with him each week was even making a difference. Years later, he wrote me a letter that changed everything. He told me I helped him stay on the right path. That he looked up to me. That I showed him what doing the right thing looked like. And that’s when it really hit me: Sometimes your presence is the thing that changes someone’s life. Now that Giving Tuesday is around the corner, I want to do something meaningful as a community. For every $500 donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters, a new match gets supported. That’s one kid getting the mentor they need. So here’s what I’m offering in exchange: → For every $500 donated, I’ll give you a free 1-hour coaching session. → If you choose to become a Big Brother or Big Sister, I’ll give you 3 hours of coaching. This is my way of giving back, not just to the organization, but to all of you who’ve supported me, trusted me, and built this community with me. My goal is to raise $5,000 to support 10 new matches. We can literally change lives together. If you’d like to take part, whether by donating or by becoming a mentor yourself, here is the link to do it: https://www.cflbigs.org/donate-online
