From Art to AI: Coaching Insights for an Extraordinary 2025

Dear friends of Positive Change,

Welcome to 2025ā€”itā€™s an auspicious* start to the year! āœØ

Change is all around us, both in the world at large and within ourselves. In coaching, we focus on the inner world, where real transformation beginsā€”helping leaders and teams build resilience, unlock career potential, and embrace positive habits.

Iā€™m delighted to announce my Futureproof Mindset coaching series, which combines 1:1 leadership coaching and team development to create impactful results. And Iā€™m excited to share a new idea in the works: Art-Inspired Leadership Coachingā€”a unique approach to bringing the human touch and emotional benefits into todayā€™s digital world.

On the cutting edge of innovation, Iā€™ve also joined the AI Coaching Rebel community to explore how AI technology can enhance coaching without losing its humanity.

Stay tuned for insights in April, when Iā€™ll join the Leadership Choices Impulse Podcast to share more on this topic. For AI-curious coaches, donā€™t miss the upcoming Digital and AI Coachesā€™ Conferenceā€”Iā€™d love to see you there!

Hereā€™s to an inspiring year ahead! šŸš€

Thanks for reading and cheers,
Karla Schlaepfer and the amazing DesignChange team
