Susan Caesar is the first-ever Chief AI Officer at the International Coaching Federation and founder of Humane Org. Her career has had one red thread: being human. And her message to the coaching profession right now? You don't have to figure this out alone.

In this conversation with Rebecca Rutschmann, Susan makes a passionate case for community as the antidote to overwhelm — AI circles, chapter conversations, shared learning — because the coaching profession's greatest strength has always been how it shows up together. She also pulls no punches on big tech's accountability problem, draws a hard line on "AI is not a coach," and shares ICF's vision for where the profession is heading: a marketplace like the Apple Store, programming like Netflix, and a community that's finally moving from fear to action.

What you'll take away:

• Why Susan is calling on every coach to start their own AI circle — and exactly how to do it
• How the coaching profession shifted from fearful to practical between 2024 and 2025
• The three lenses of Susan's role at ICF — members, tech providers, and public safety
• Why big tech isn't accountable — and why the coaching profession needs to dial up its ethics now
• What "consciousness" means when you're deciding how and when to use AI
