ICF Metro DC Coaching Book Club
July Book Club: Why Every Coach Should Read "Atomic Habits" written by James Clear
James Clear’s Atomic Habits isn’t just a book about behavior change—it’s a toolkit for coaches who want to help clients make progress that actually lasts.
In this month’s book club, we’ll unpack Clear’s habit framework through the lens of coaching:
- How small shifts lead to big results
- Why identity matters more than motivation
- How to spot and adjust the systems behind your clients’ behavior
Whether you’re supporting clients in personal growth, leadership, or performance, Atomic Habits gives you language and structure to guide change with clarity and confidence.
Join us to explore how you can apply these insights in real coaching conversations—and build better habits in your own life, too.
We hope that you will join us for a rich discussion!
To allow for an engaging, interactive discussion, attendance will be limited to 15 participants. A wait list will be kept.
1 RD CCEU will be offered to participants.
