Laurel Elders is an ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) and the founder and CEO of the Institute. She began her career as a coach in 2005 after noticing that we are living in pivotal times; corporations often place profit above people, individuals are feeling lost in the "rat race" and corporate drive is leaving the largest scale impact on the future of sustainability. Laurel observed how coaching is powerfully tapping into the next phase of human potential in ways never before experienced and is contributing to powerful solutions. Laurel is invested in bringing the highest levels of coach training and mentoring, into a world that needs people's gifts, talents, purpose and heart, now more than ever. Her clients and students are torch holders for positive impact, locally and globally, in service to the success of generations to come.
