HKICC Coaching Book Club – First Meeting
From a Simple Gathering to a Powerful Learning Community
Vipul Malhotra
(28 Jan 2026)
What began as a simple book club meeting to explore The Coaching Solopreneur quickly became something much more meaningful.
Hosted by Nicholas Wai, the first HKICC Coaching Book Club brought together coaches who arrived not to impress, but to learn, reflect, and grow together. From the very start, there was a genuine openness in the room — a shared curiosity and an immediate sense of community.
Nick’s facilitation created a space that felt both safe and spacious, allowing for honest sharing, thoughtful dialogue, and respectful focus. The book itself became more than reading material; it acted as a mirror, prompting deeper reflection on essential questions:
Why do we do what we do?
What is at the heart of our coaching practice?
Participants left with far more than chapter insights. They carried:
- Practical ideas for growing a sustainable coaching business
- A reflective questionnaire for continued self-development
- Meaningful new connections within the coaching community
- Fresh perspectives that continue to resonate beyond the session
This experience reminded us that a book club can be far more than a discussion of text. When held with intention, it becomes a collaborative learning incubator — a space for professional reflection, authentic networking, and shared wisdom that turns passive reading into lived insight.

What Participants Shared
“A wonderful introduction to the community — with a real spirit of co-creation and collaboration.”
“Thrilling insights and deep exchanges that revealed blind spots and inspired growth in our coaching journeys.”
“Less like a book discussion and more like a shared learning space. I left with practical insights, new perspectives, and a genuine sense of connection. Come and join us next time!”

Join the Next HKICC Coaching Book Club Meeting
If you are a coach who longs for real conversation, reflective learning, and supportive community, we warmly invite you to join our next gathering hosted by Vipul Malhotra on 26th March 2026 . Here’s a note from him.
Yes, we’ll talk about the famous 7 questions—but the real magic is how it shapes a more powerful way of being. This book is a secret weapon for anyone looking to drive positive change, cultivate curiosity in their teams, and show up as a more impactful and less directive leader.
I’d love for you to join me, to unpack this together. If you have read the book, are thinking about it, or are simply curious about transforming your leadership approach, please come along! Let’s explore how to create ripples of change, starting with our very next conversation.
Come not just to read a book —
but to grow your practice, expand your thinking, and connect with fellow coaches who are walking the same path.
We look forward to learning with you, so watch out for this space for more details in the next few weeks.
