At The Institute for Equity-Centered Coaching, we define a coach as someone who facilitates and/or supports the growth, development and transformations with others; other people, businesses, and communities, and more.
This means in some ways... We are all coaches.
And if you've decided to make coaching part of your professional career you've chosen a path that holds great responsibility.
That is a tremendous responsibility, and a beautiful manifestation of your own professional, educational, and life experience.
And your clients are trusting that you are going to provide them with safe, challenging, and effective coaching experiences that will get them to where they want to be.

- People trust you to guide them
- They trust you with their dreams
- They trust you with their fears
- They cry with you
- They tell you important decisions they have to make, sometimes before sharing those things with people they love
- People give you money, because they trust that you are going to help them transform something important in their lives
