Who we are
We are the only association to certify corporate executive coaches as "Enterprise-Wide Business Partners with their clients©"
"Enterprise-wide Business Partners™" (EBP)
In this role the Executive Coach approaches the engagement through a systemic lens and wears many hats.
As a “business partner” the ACEC coach can pivot, depending on the situation, between coach, trusted advisor, mentor, and consultant.
This type of coach does not shy away from complexity and fully embraces the messiness in which their clients often find themselves.
They come with a holistic, multi-level perspective and belief system that embraces the client in the room while being completely aware of the impact of those not in the room.
The EBP knows the organization, the competition, the market dynamics, and much more. As a result, the EBP becomes an integral part of the organization.
ACEC members help transform the lives of those leaders who transform the world.
