Now Welcoming Coaching Clients – Let’s Grow Together

Written By Bettina Straight

What’s new?

Rooted in kindness, growth, and intentional impact, I’m thrilled to share that I’m now on the path to earning an advanced coaching credential.

As a graduate of the Institute for Coaching Innovation (formerly the CoachDiversity Institute), I earned my Certified Professional Diversity Coach credential. I’m now pursuing the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and I’m inviting a select number of individuals to join me on this journey.

Whether you're navigating a career crossroads, stepping into a new leadership role, seeking more clarity and confidence, or simply longing to live and lead with more intention and joy personally or professionally, I’d be honored to support you.

What you can expect:

  • A safe, affirming space rooted in curiosity, compassion, and accountability

  • A coaching style that blends deep listening with thoughtful challenge

  • Sessions that center your values, goals, and lived experiences

  • A commitment to ethical practice, integrity, and growth (mine and yours)

Why now?

As part of my ICF certification process, I’m logging coaching hours with clients who are ready to reflect, reset, and rise. These sessions are currently offered at a reduced rate as I work toward the 100-hour requirement for ACC certification.
