" Our mission is to further the interests of coaching clients worldwide.
Why? By furthering the interests of clients of coaches, rather than focus solely on the coaching industry, we will prevent a myopic viewpoint. Why is this radical? Simply because we hope to reorient the entire coaching profession.
This mission allows us to stay ahead of and anticipate evolving trends in client needs to help our members serve clients better, evolve coaching as an industry and elevate the profession. The thinking behind this radical mission statement is that if we can all focus on what's best for the client, the profession will better off for it as well.
Additionally, if coaches focus on forwarding the best interests of their clients, the coach will naturally evolve and innovate, because those interests will evolve and change. Having an orientation of "forwarding the interests of the client" will help to keep the coach agenda-free without having to say 'agenda free;' that is a byproduct. " more
