Vision
Coaching is a trusted and sought-after catalyst for growth in our multicultural community.
Mission
ICF MN promotes the development of a community of multicultural coaches serving others. | Letter from the President | | On October 24th, the ICF Minnesota Chapter held their annual board retreat at the Minnesota Humanities Center.
We spent the day reflecting on the past year and held meaningful discussions about what worked, what could have been better and most importantly, what we plan to focus on in 2024.
We strive to live into our values of Service, Connection, Growth and Inclusion in all of our program offerings and all of the interactions we have with our coaching community.
We are fortunate to have wonderful board members who volunteer many hours throughout the year, creating a vibrant and healthy community for coaches and anyone interested in the coaching profession!
We'll be able to share more specifics about 2024 in the months to come as we finalize our strategic priorities.
Thanks!
Karen Failes-Coad
ICF MN President

Organizational culture has become a buzzword in the business sector.
With so many corporations working to maintain positive cultures that are both productive, nurturing, and inclusive.
It's important to understand what it is and what is isn't as well as how to elevate it. Far too many organizational leaders are unsure where and how to create a culture where everyone thrives.
