Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) Statement 

At CoachPath Academy, we believe that a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and just environment is essential to creating a meaningful and transformative coaching experience. We are committed to fostering a community where every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, age, religion, or socio-economic background, is valued and empowered to succeed.

Our Commitment:

• Diversity: We embrace the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that each member of our community brings. We actively seek to include voices from a wide range of identities and cultures, recognizing that diversity strengthens the richness of our learning and coaching environment.
• Equity: We strive to create equitable opportunities for all students, faculty, and staff. This means providing the support and resources necessary for every individual to thrive, while also addressing and removing systemic barriers to success within our academy and the broader coaching industry.
• Inclusion: At CoachPath Academy, we cultivate a culture where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and supported. We encourage open dialogue and the exchange of ideas, ensuring that all individuals have a space to contribute and grow.
• Justice: We are committed to the ongoing work of social justice, recognizing the need to actively address and challenge discrimination, bias, and inequality. We aim to equip our students with the tools and awareness to be agents of positive change, both within their coaching practices and in the wider world.

Action Steps:

• Incorporating DEIJ principles into our curriculum, training methods, and assessments to ensure a broad and inclusive coaching education.
• Providing scholarships and financial assistance to underrepresented communities in order to promote greater accessibility to coaching education.
• Offering professional development and training for our faculty to ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice remain at the forefront of our practices.
• Creating open channels for feedback and dialogue, ensuring that our policies and practices evolve in alignment with the needs and experiences of our diverse community.

At CoachPath Academy, we are dedicated to creating a coaching culture where everyone is respected, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We believe that true transformation in coaching begins with an environment that honors and celebrates each person’s unique journey. Through ongoing commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, we aim to set a standard within our academy and inspire positive change in the coaching field as a whole.

We recognize that building an inclusive community requires continuous learning, listening, and adaptation, and we welcome the participation and feedback of all students, faculty and administration to help us grow and evolve together.
