About the group

Whether you’re an experienced coach or just beginning your coaching journey, you’ll find a warm welcome at the UK ICF West Midlands Local Group. We bring together professionally trained coaches from all coaching membership bodies who are looking to learn, connect, and grow within a supportive professional community.

Our programme is shaped by listening to our members. Through monthly virtual sessions (except August and December), we explore professional development, business development, and community support, inviting guest speakers and creating spaces that reflect what coaches tell us they need most. In December, we come together in person to celebrate the year and the festive season.

Our sessions are inclusive, reflective, and easy-going, with plenty of warmth and humour. Members tell us they value having a safe and brave space where they can think aloud, acknowledge challenges, celebrate aspirations, and learn from one another’s experiences. We believe no coach should have to navigate their coaching journey alone. Together, we build meaningful connections, share opportunities, and support one another to grow with confidence.

What you can expect:

  • A warm, welcoming coaching community
  • Friendly networking and meaningful connections
  • Practical learning and professional development
  • Inspiring guest speakers and thought leadership
  • Community support through shared experiences
  • Opportunities to collaborate, contribute, and volunteer

Group Leader

Hello, I’m Divya Shah, an Executive and Leadership Coach and PCC with the ICF. I volunteer because I wanted to create the kind of coaching community I was looking for myself, one where coaches feel supported, share both challenges and aspirations, and celebrate one another’s progress. I believe coaches make a profound difference in the world, and they deserve a space where they can pause, think aloud without judgement, gain fresh perspectives, and find the confidence to experiment and grow. My hope is that you’ll find a warm welcome here, leave feeling lighter than when you arrived, and know that you don’t have to navigate your coaching journey alone.

Group Events

We host events throughout the year, typically online and open to all coaches – whether ICF members or not. Sessions are kept to a manageable length and are designed to be genuinely useful, not just another webinar. Browse our upcoming events below and book your place.

Get Involved

Our ambition is to create a coaching community where every professionally trained coach feels they belong, grows with confidence, and knows they are not alone on their journey. Whether you’re attending your first event or returning as a familiar face, you’ll find a warm welcome, meaningful conversations, and opportunities to connect, learn, and contribute. Come along, bring your curiosity, and grow with us.
