ICF North Florida January Newsletter 
President's Letter
Happy New Year, North Florida Coaches!
As we step into 2026, I want to begin by saying how much I appreciate this community and the many ways you show up — often quietly — in service to one another and to the profession.
In November and December, we shared the launch of our Neighborhood GETs — Geographic Engagement Teams as a new foundation for connection across our large and diverse region. As with any grassroots effort, GETs grow not through structure alone, but through small, human moments of engagement over time.
January is not about doing more — it’s about starting simply.
Member Spotlight
Andrea B. Demps, MS, ACC, CPEC
Andrea Demps, ACC, specializes in coaching sales leaders and their teams to scale sustainably without sacrificing their people. She is grounded by a strengths-based approach and a genuine belief in human potential. "My mission is to create environments where everyone feels seen, heard, understood, and valued."
She observes that leadership breakdowns, particularly in high-pressure sales environments, often stem from communication that doesn't cultivate or reinforce that kind of environment. Her coaching helps sales leaders build the connection, communication, and emotional intelligence skills that transform team culture and performance simultaneously. Get to know Andrea>>
The Table: Where Coaching, Community, and AI Converge

On December 11, 2025, members of ICF North Florida gathered once again around The Table—a space created for open conversation, shared learning, and connection. As always, the discussion was candid, thoughtful, and grounded in the real work of coaching.
The group explored the trend of Avatar Coaches and the many ways AI is already influencing coaching work. One participant introduced a recent study that found no difference in client satisfaction between Avatar (AI) and Human Coaches. While there are nuances to the study, and its findings are not conclusive, it is worth considering as we adapt to our changing environment and leverage AI in service to our clients. Read more>>
AI and the Updated ICF Competency Indicators: What You Need to Know
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in coaching for transcription, session summaries, reflection prompts, and administrative support. In response, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) updated the ICF Competency Indicators (2023–2024) to clarify how AI may be used ethically and responsibly in coaching.
The core message is simple: AI may support coaching, but it must never replace the coach’s presence, judgment, or ethical responsibility.
