Values

INTEGRITY

We uphold the highest standards for our profession and follow the International Coaching Federation’s ethical guidelines to best serve our clients.

BELONGING AND INTENTIONALITY

We strive to be intentional and value the diversity and richness of all members. Everyone is welcome and belongs here.

COLLABORATION

We value the social connection and community-building that occurs through collaborative partnership and co-created achievement. No one knows it all, but together we know a lot.

ICF Core Competencies

The Core Competencies were developed to support greater understanding about the skills and approaches used within today’s coaching profession as defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). The ICF defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Equity, Outreach, and Belonging

Our Equity, Outreach, and Belonging Team exists to bridge the communication gaps and social interaction with all communities while improving relationships and creating accessibility. Our purpose is to provide professional coaching and education that assists all coaches, community organizations, and corporations in creating and sustaining equitable communities. We understand that racial disparity, power, privilege, and culture is a constant journey for all of us, and we are humbly and diligently working towards building a vibrant network. The Equity team assesses needs in order to implement policies, practices, and programs that eliminate barriers and accessibility for traditionally underrepresented groups (i.e., race, ethnicity, gender, class, ability, religion, sexuality).
