Reflections from the HR Leadership Summit 2025

What an inspiring gathering of HRleaders!

Since 2012, this summit has brought together exceptional CHROs, HR trailblazers, and visionary experts to explore how we can truly harness the power of talent centricity and organizational effectiveness. As ICF Belgium representatives, we couldn't help but notice how many of the challenges discussed align perfectly with what professional coaching can address:

• Leadership Development - Moving beyond traditional management to cultivate authentic, purpose-driven leaders
•  Change Management - Supporting teams through continuous transformation without burning out
• Talent Development - Unlocking individual potential in ways that align with organizational goals
• Strategic Thinking - Empowering HR leaders to elevate their role as true strategic partners
• Organizational Culture - Fostering environments where people thrive, not just survive, the future of HR isn't just about implementing new tools and processes, it's about fundamentally transforming how we develop, support, and unleash human potential.

Professional coaching is a powerful enabler of this transformation. Grateful to Alain Vande Kerkhove for orchestrating such a meaningful event, and to my fellow ICF Belgium Ambassadors Hans Vandenberghe Alexia M. Nectoux Cedrik Depierre Diane Richier Els Demuynck Jonathan Englebert for representing the coaching profession together with our co- president Miguel C. with excellence.

Special acknowledgment to Philippe Rosinski for his continued thought leadership at the intersection of leadership, culture, and coaching. Let's continue the conversation: How can HR and coaching collaborate more effectively to meet the challenges of tomorrow's workplace?
