Hello, everyone! I hope you’re doing well and are filled with the energy to embrace the changes and challenges that the world of coaching presents. It’s been a while since our last chat, and I’ve missed you all!
In this pivotal moment of transformation, I want to remind you of the importance of our core values as an association: diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. We need to reflect together on what these values mean to us and how they can guide our path in the coaching world.
Diversity is what makes us unique and enriches us as a community. Each of us brings a different story, diverse experiences, and exceptional skills that help us grow and learn from each other.
Inclusion is like our collective embrace. It’s essential for everyone to feel part of our coaching family, where all voices are heard, and all individuals are valued for who they are.
Equity ensures everyone has the same opportunities to grow and succeed in the coaching world. No matter where we come from or who we are, we all deserve a fair chance to shine.
Belonging is what binds us as a community. We want everyone to feel at home here, where they can be authentic, find support, and connect with their fellow coaches.
Additionally, I’d like to ask you all for a small favor. I firmly believe in the power of our community to grow and reach more people. I invite you to help us expand our coaching family by bringing in a new member. By bringing someone new on board, we’re not only strengthening our community but also extending the reach of coaching and bringing its benefits to more people worldwide.
As the president of this association, I’m committed to leading with these values in mind and working hand in hand with all of you to make our vision of a more diverse, inclusive, equitable, and welcoming coaching world a reality.
I look forward to continuing this journey with all of you and seeing how our collective efforts make the coaching world an even more incredible place.
Thank you for your support. I’m sending big hugs to you all!
Virginia González-Vélez
ACTO President
