The ICF Code of Ethics just got updated, and every coach needs to know what's changed.

Lumia CEO Noelle Cordeaux sits down with beloved Lumia instructor and former CIA executive Bonnie Stith to break down the new ICF Code of Ethics updates that every practicing and aspiring coach should understand.

(Spoiler alert: The changes are mostly reorganizational, but they're important for understanding coaching's evolution as a mature profession.)

We dive deep into what these updates really mean... from the new section headings that make ethics more accessible, to how technology and AI are changing our responsibilities around client confidentiality.

Bonnie shares her wisdom on the "mortal sins" of coaching... the ethical missteps that coaches must avoid, like setting the client's agenda, giving advice, or making the session about the coach's wisdom instead of the client's.

Whether you're preparing for your ICF credential exam or simply want to understand how to practice coaching with the highest ethical standards, this episode provides the clarity and confidence you need.

Ethics is about bumpers on the bowling lanes that help you coach with confidence and protect both you and your clients.

The wellness industry is experiencing a seismic shift, and as coaches, we need to understand what's happening now.

In this eye-opening episode, Lumia Coaching founder Noelle Cordeaux sits down with futurist and Lumia alum Paul Chamberlain (Smart Funny Tortured) to explore the two major trends reshaping wellness in 2025.

(Spoiler alert: every prediction Noelle has made about the wellness industry over the past decade has come true, so you'll want to pay attention to this one.)

We dive deep into the "anti-optimization" movement... a powerful consumer shift away from high-tech, expensive wellness toward low-pressure, human-centered experiences where social and mental wellbeing matter most.

Paul shares insights from his new framework "Smart Funny Tortured," designed for the growing population of people who were told to "pick one path" but now need to navigate a world that rewards generalists and synthesizers.

Whether you're a seasoned coach or just starting out, this episode will help you understand where the biggest opportunities lie for making a real impact in people's lives.
