Coach to Coach: A conversation with Janice Lichtenwaldt

What does it look like when a coach commits to getting people not from A to B, but from A to infinity?

In our latest ICF Washington State Member Spotlight, Janice Lichtenwaldt, MCC, executive coach, facilitator, and long-time contributor to the coaching community in Washington State, talks about:

• Discovering coaching through a simple question she asked her own team and then finally asked herself
• The difference between transactional and transformational coaching, and why it matters
• What it looks like when a coach is willing to "get fired" in service of their client
• Why a rising tide raises all boats and how coaches can give back at any stage of their journey
• The one thing leaders will need most from coaches as AI reshapes the workplace

"Coaching is powerful because it provides a space for someone to hear their own thinking out loud, without judgment, and with reflection and then they are able to take action on it."

If you care about depth over speed, human connection over transactions, and building a practice that makes your heart sing, this conversation is worth your time.
