Launch of the HKICC Coaching Book Club

Launch of the HKICC Coaching Book Club

Date: 28 Jan 2026 | Time: 6:00pm to 8:00pm | Venue: TBC

We coaches are an interesting bunch.

We love learning—not only to better support and empower our clients, but also to continue our own growth toward greater mastery and maturity.

Many of us (myself included) have shelves filled with books we genuinely wanted to read when we bought them… and yet somehow never quite got around to opening. And even when we do read, the real challenge is not finishing the book, but harvesting insights we can actually apply in our coaching and our lives.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

With this in mind, HKICC is delighted to launch the HKICC Coaching Book Club—a space designed to support you in dusting off those unread books, learning together, and turning ideas into practice through shared reflection, conversation, and a good dose of laughter.

Perhaps this is something you’ve been wishing for, without quite naming it.

Our first book selection

We’ll begin with The Coaching Solopreneur by Kate Freedman.

Being a coach isn’t only about coaching well—it’s also about how we run our coaching business in a way that is sustainable, human, and aligned with our values. Whether you are a seasoned coach or newly inspired on this path, there is always room to refine how we operate as a “coaching solopreneur,” so we can spend more time doing the work that truly matters: coaching clients we care about.

Written in accessible language and a clear, practical structure, Kate Freedman shares the process that helped her not only sustain a successful coaching practice, but also stay sane while balancing work, life, family, and entrepreneurship.

What stood out most for me was the importance of laying strong foundations at the start—and the need for regular review and renewal as our practice evolves and grows.

How it will work

With the year-end holidays just around the corner, this is a wonderful time to pick up the book and read at your own pace.

🗓 On 28 January 2026, we’ll come together to:

• Share insights and reflections
• Explore selected exercises together
• Close with a simple, practical action plan that can flow naturally into your New Year intentions

We hope this Book Club becomes a nourishing space for learning, connection, and thoughtful practice.

Wishing you a restful holiday season and an inspiring, rewarding start to the new year—and we very much hope to see you there. 🌱
