  • Ep 52: Duty of Care and the Future of Coaching with Dr. Benita Mayhead

    Ep 52: Duty of Care and the Future of Coaching with Dr. Benita Mayhead
    Feb 18 2026

    As a coach, how can you practice ethically in an industry that’s largely unregulated? In this episode of the Coaching Catalysts podcast, co-hosts Sarah Bramall and Rebecca Daniel are joined by Dr. Benita Mayhead, executive coach, supervisor, and author of Duty of Care in Coaching. Together, they dive deep into what it means to practice ethically in a largely unregulated industry, exploring Benita’s pioneering research on “duty of care”, both how coaches understand it and how it shows up in their practice.

    Benita, Rebecca and Sarah explore the evolution of ethics in coaching, the increasing complexity of work faced by experienced practitioners, and predictions for the profession’s future, including the growing prominence of supervision.

    The episode encourages coaches to reflect on their own sense of responsibility, learning, and curiosity, and reminds us all of the power of collaboration and care, both for clients and for ourselves as practitioners.
