Who We Are

Elevating the landscape of coaching and leadership, ICLI RISING is a beacon of excellence, boasting its status as a global coach training school. At the heart of ICLI RISING is a passionate commitment to transformative coaching and self-leadership.

Our mission extends beyond traditional coaching methods. We are steadfast in our dedication to fostering Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) in all our programs and curricula. In a world craving change, we believe that coaching and leadership should reflect the rich tapestry of our global community.

As champions of growth, ICLI RISING is not just a training institute. We are a movement, igniting the path for coaches and leaders, ensuring they RISE with knowledge, integrity, and a deep sense of inclusivity.

Our curriculum, designed by award-winning educators and coaches credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), is grounded in world-class, hands-on coach training and transformational leadership experiences. 

 

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.
