Professional Coaching for People of Color, by People of Color
Overcoming unconscious barriers and unique career challenges in the corporate world
Solutions Designed by Successful, Diverse Coaches
Our professional development approach integrates the interpretation of industry-leading personality assessments with our own “think. interact. act.” capability-building framework. We draw upon our experiences as people of color (POC) in the corporate world to provide a safe space for POC to discuss professional challenges with a trusted coach who can help them develop their skills and succeed in the workplace.
Supporting Diverse Talent to Overcome Career Challenges
Systemic bias is a daily challenge people of color often face alone. We understand the unique challenges employees face every day and provide real-time, personalized support rooted in first-hand experience and similar challenges. Driven by our diverse coaching backgrounds, we help break down unconscious barriers and provide a clear understanding of where problems lie to generate real, lasting results.
Most Ethnically Diverse Coaching Network in the Industry
We have had successful careers at companies like McKinsey, Procter & Gamble, BP, General Mills, and more, and hold degrees from prestigious institutions in technical and non-technical areas which has laid a strong, diverse foundation for us as coaches. Most importantly, we have a passion for professional development and a desire to use our expertise to give employees of color what they need to thrive.

[My coach] served as a great mentor when I started a new position in management. His experience working with high-level management teams, coupled with his calm demeanor and open-book personality, gave me a trusted resource to go to with any & all questions. Working with [my coach] set me up for long-term success in my management role, which I still reap the benefits of, even today.
“[My coach] provides firm feedback in a caring and objective way. He is great at pushing me just enough beyond my comfort zone to continually encourage me to experiment and grow. After a week, I was starting to notice material changes. I am surprised at the amazing personal progress I’ve made in the short amount of time that I’ve worked with him.”
“[My coach] was really great at helping me sort out my goals and getting me focused on what I want to do and where I want to go. I found I was able to make some significant changes very quickly… Thanks a million.”
