ATLANTA, GA, February 2022 – The Academy of Creative Coaching (“ACC”) and Coaching for Everyone (“CFE”), a 501c3 have joined forces to train and provide coaching certification to BIPOC leaders nationally in the business and civic communities. This certification program set to launch this spring is among the first coordinated efforts of its kind.
This strategic alliance brings together two leading organizations with shared missions: to diversify the nationwide coaching community by certifying coaches and leaders of color, as well as build a pipeline of BIPOC coaches in the business and civic communities. ACC will be the certification partner for select CFE cohorts to provide the coaches with full Professional Coaching Certification (PCC). “Too many people of color are missing from the coaching community. This must change. It’s imperative that we build a network of BIPOC coaches now to make a significant impact on the community and in business in years to come.” says J. Victor McGuire, Ph.D., founder and Executive Director of Coaching for Everyone. “This collaboration with ACC is more than a diversity initiative. Together we intend to make an impact in the industry beginning with certifying at least 500 coaches by the end of 2023.”
With a plan to launch the first cohort in late spring, ACC & CFE are working closely with the business community and organizations that are seeking to grow their diversity, equity, and inclusion leadership and impact. This program will offer employers an opportunity to create certified coaches within their organizations, which ultimately impacts growth and retention. . “Collaborating with businesses and organizations provides an opportunity for employers to expand their internal initiatives and impact their company culture,” explains Dr. Pamela Larde, President, and Founder of The Academy of Creative Coaching “This is a “win-win” for both the coach and the employer. ACC is excited to partner with CFE to provide the certification and faculty for this audacious and honorable vision.”
