Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Belonging at ICF (DEIJB)

At ICF, it is our vision to make coaching an integral part of a thriving society, and to make that happen, we must first ensure coaches have the ability and support to thrive in their own right. Each day we are working towards creating a more diverse, equitable, inclusive and just coaching profession for all professional coaches and clients worldwide.

As members of the ICF community, we ascribe to the core values of professionalism, collaboration, humanity and equity. The foundation of these values is a shared commitment to diversity, inclusion, belonging and justice.

4 Meaningful Focus Areas

1. Expand global representation for underrepresented communities to ensure inclusion and belonging throughout our ecosystem.
2. Invest in education to increase diversity intelligence and provide professional development opportunities for leaders, volunteers, staff, ICF Members and other stakeholders.
3. Create an accessible environment for all stakeholders with any disability.
4. Establish policies that reinforce equity throughout the coaching profession and ICF community.
