Foreword by President, ICF Singapore Chapter

To the community of Times Business Directory

My name is Amily Ang and I am the President of International Coaching Federation (ICF) Singapore Chapter. On behalf of ICF, I am delighted to share with you who we are and how we can partner you to create the impact you want in your life and organization. International Coaching Federation (ICF) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to professional coaching.

Founded in 1995, its purpose was to give credibility to an emerging profession and give coaches a place to connect with one another. 25 years later, ICF grew to become the world’s largest organization of professionally trained coaches and the leading voice for the global coaching community.

Our Vision is to create a World where Coaching is integral to Transforming Societies. Our Mission Statement is to Advance coaching Excellence, Impact and Value Worldwide

What is Coaching? ICF defines Coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity, and leadership.

All of us have goals we want to reach; challenges we strive to overcome and at times we can feel stuck. Partnering with an ICF credentialed coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.

ICF credentialed coaches represent the highest level of professional coaching. These universal values empower, inspire, and unite all of us as ICF members, credentialholders and believers of coaching worldwide.

The ICF Code of Ethics describes the ICF core values, ethical principles, and ethical standards of behavior for all ICF Professionals. All ICF credentialed coaches are all bound by strong ethics, having gone through rigorous training and exams to uphold the Gold standard of coaching.

Our ICF Core Values include: Professionalism, Collaboration, Humanity and Equity. We commit to a coaching mindset and professional quality that encompasses responsibility, respect, integrity, competence, and excellence. We are also committed to being humane, kind, compassionate and respectful towards others and finally we commit to using a coaching mindset to explore and understand the needs of others so we can practice equitable processes at all times that create equality for all.

We have partnered with various government sector, commercial organizations and other non-profit and charitable organizations to provide pro bono coaching to them so that they can experience the impact on themselves and their organizations.

To get to know us better, I invite you to go to our website at www.icfsingapore.org (Singapore Chapter) and www.coachingfederation.org for our Global website. You can also reach us at President@Icfsingapore.org or partnerships@icfsingapore.org. Simultaneously, you could also look for an ICF credentialed coach on our website.

We would like to thank the publication for giving us this opportunity to share with the community here and believed that this resource is beneficial for our community here in Singapore.

Warmest Regards
Amily Ang
President
ICF Singapore Chapter
