Ignite Social Progress
“Coaching is much bigger than coaching. Coaches are at the forefront of a way of being that the whole world needs to get to, where the core theme is compassion for all people and caring for all of nature and for our only home.”
—Sir John Whitmore
The International Coach Federation Foundation’s vision is that coaching is an integral part of the thriving society. Through our mission, we will connect and equip professional coaches and organizations to accelerate and amplify impact on social progress through coaching. We offer transformational partnerships to bring the power of coaching for greater good, demonstrating that coaching works by building capacity in organizations around the globe.
Together, we will move the world forward.
Coaching will fill the gap between what is needed from humanity and what is currently present, enabling transformations across the globe. Coaching will enable society to thrive.
