is a professional association for coaches & leaders committed to justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression.
The Institute for Equity-Centered Coaching launched in 2021 with the mission of providing coach education that prioritized the values of equity, inclusion, and antiracism as inherent parts of its pedagogy.
Since then we've trained hundreds of students throughout our various intensives, workshops and and certification programs but we know there is so much more to do.
Not everyone who finds us wants, or needs to become a certified as an equity-centered coach, but everyone does need accesses to the fundamentals of Equity-Centered Practice.
The Exchange is a hub for professional learning, and community building among coaches who believe that equity, inclusion, antiracism, and all forms anti-oppression are key elements of an effective, and emotionally & psychologically safe coaching practice.

Certified Equity-Centered Leader and Coach
I really have been looking for a community that cares as much as I do about justice and equity and it sees the opportunity to bring those values into transformational work, not as the deviation from the standard, but as the standard.
The Institute for Equity Centered Coaching is the only place that I've seen that is centering this work and saying it is possible to do transformational work from an equity informed place.
