Our instructors offer a wealth of knowledge and experience as thought leaders in a multitude of disciplines including ontological coaching, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), holistic healing, leadership consulting, financial wellness, and business development.
Our students benefit from rigorous training and an abundance of mentor coaching feedback so they are best prepared to provide their coaching services to a global world challenged with living and leading with agility, resilience, and cultural competence.
The Definition of Coaching by ICLI RISING
Transformational coaching at ICLI RISING is a deep partnership with clients, fostering an environment that emphasizes both “being” and “doing”. Through a thought-provoking, creative, and inclusive journey, clients are not only inspired to realize their fullest personal and professional goals, but also to explore and embrace the essence of their being. This holistic approach actively honors their dignity and champions principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB). The client, therefore, is celebrated in their entirety and recognized as the primary driver of the coaching experience.
