Accessibility Philosophy
At Impact Coaching Academy, we believe that a welcoming environment and low-barrier accessibility are essential to our mission’s success and our community’s growth. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect, inclusivity, and belonging for all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, or any other personal characteristic.
We recognize the power of bringing together different perspectives, skills, and experiences. We believe that by creating an environment where everyone feels valued, we can inspire individuals to reach their full potential and in turn, more positively impact the world.
We are dedicated to continuously educating ourselves and taking action to address systemic issues of bias within our organization and the coaching industry as a whole. We strive to be active allies in the ongoing fight for human rights, freedoms, and potential.
It is the policy of Impact Coaching Academy that:
- Recruitment and hiring procedures do not discriminate against individuals based on their race, age, religion, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
- All personnel are expected to treat employees and participants equally, and not discriminate against them based on their race, age, religion, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
- Our organization welcomes individuals from all backgrounds to participate, irrespective of their race, age, religion, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or veteran status.
- Our workplace, learning environment, and all other activities should be free from discrimination and harassment. This includes any form of discrimination or harassment based on race, age, religion, color, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or veteran status. Our organization has a zero-tolerance policy for any behavior that unreasonably interferes with an individual’s ability to learn or work in a safe and welcoming environment, regardless of the status or position of the individual engaging in such behavior. This policy applies to all employees, students, volunteers, contractors, visitors, and vendors.
