Ignite Growth Coaching Academy has been created in response for the demand for qualified coaches, that the world needs! As a learning innovator and head of a corporate university for 25 years, I cultivated the knowledge and skills needed to help others grow. My background in learning and development has enabled me to synthesize and systematize information and knowledge to ensure applicability and practicality in the real world. Although I have had the opportunity to engage in thousands of conversations with a variety of people, from executive leaders to frontline workers, I never experienced the sheer power and value of a good coaching conversation and its impact on changing lives by producing sustainable results. I have had the distinct privilege to work with hundreds of coach candidates in a recognized ICF ACTP education program. These interactions have planted the seeds for the cultivation of this program as I realized the ongoing support needed on the journey to obtaining and upholding the valued ICF credentials. I look forward to engaging with other coaches who are looking to learn and grow alongside other trailblazers on their mission to serve others.
