The Thinking Coach Series

A seven-part exploration about leadership, AI, mental health and what coaching must become. 

The Thinking Coach Series is an initiative by HEC Paris Executive Coaching bringing together, across seven masterclasses, some of the most rigorous and thought-provoking voices in contemporary coaching — psychologists, researchers, philosophers and practitioners.

The series explores the critical questions shaping the future of executive coaching: the impact of artificial intelligence, mental health and emotional fragility at senior levels, leadership under pressure, power and responsibility, meaning at work, and what remains fundamentally human in coaching practice.

Each masterclass is designed as a high-level, live conversation, hosted by Ilona Bonniwell, PhD, Academic Director of the Post-Graduate Program in Global Executive Coaching. Together with invited experts, the series examines not only where executive coaching is heading, but what it must become in response to profound psychological, technological and societal shifts.

Whether you are a senior leader, an experienced coach, or a professional reflecting on the evolution of your practice, The Thinking Coach Series offers a space for serious reflection — beyond tools and techniques — to engage with coaching at a deeper, more responsible level.
