ICF'S NEW BRAND - A DEFINING LEAP FORWARD

A Special Message from ICF Global:
Our evolution began with a challenge worthy of our legacy: how do we amplify 30 years of gold-standard leadership while creating a brand ready for the next generation of coaching?
To find the answer, we went deep: listening to voices across continents, across industries, and across generations, including Gen Z. What we heard pushed us to think bigger, act bolder, and design a brand built for the world that’s emerging, not the one we’ve already mastered.
This is more than a visual update. It’s a declaration of who we are becoming — rooted in legacy, built for the future, and designed to lead the next era of coaching.
SURVEY CORNER HIGHLIGHT
Our first "Survey Corner" highlight is a direct response to member requests for more support around credentialing. This month's newsletter features Renee Fluty, our new Director of Credentialing. She's already hit the ground running with lots of great ideas.
RENEE FLUTY, DIRECTOR OF CREDENTIALING

Renee Fluty, MBA, PCC
ICFTN Director of Credentialing
As ICFTN’s new Director of Credentialing, I want to introduce myself to our membership. I was so excited when I was invited to fill this position on the Board of Directors. It is a privilege to be part of the leadership of ICFTN.
Credentialing is a passion for me. It is what sets us apart as highly trained professionals who self-regulate and who have met standards of training and practice. Clients who hire a credentialed coach, or a coach working toward credentialing, know what they are getting.
I am here to help members of ICFTN navigate the credentialing journey, whether you are a “newbie” in the beginning of training or a seasoned coach who has decided to pursue your next professional step whether it is the ACC, PCC, or MCC credential. Read more>>

Impacting The Coaching Community for 30 Years

By Brenda Baird, MCC, Past President
In 1996, Pat White, a seasoned consultant based in Nashville, Tennessee, was at a crossroads. Burned out from her consulting work, she attended a mastermind meeting in Bermuda, where she received a transformative suggestion: “Become a coach.” Initially skeptical, viewing coaching as a "California fad," Pat eventually embraced the idea and enrolled in a coaching program. This decision marked the beginning of a journey that would change her life and the landscape of professional coaching in Tennessee. Read the full article here>>
We are excited to celebrate this milestone year.
ICFTN’s success over the past 30 years is an ever-growing and evolving foundation of incredible coaches. To really celebrate, we want promote the voices of those who have made this all possible — and that includes you. Consider submitting a memory, a video, and/or connecting with our Director of Marketing, Hannah Finrow, MCC, to see how you can share your coaching story.
Find Your People: 2026 Affinity Group Registration is OPEN!
We’re excited to announce that ICFTN Affinity Group registration for 2026 is officially open!

NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Andrea Baird, M.S., EMBA
Andrea became a coach after seeing how often bright, capable people hit the same invisible walls in their careers. She works with leaders to cut through the noise, quiet imposter syndrome, and turn potential into tangible, measurable progress. For Andrea, coaching is less about having the answers and more about holding up the mirror that sparks insight and action. Get to know Andrea>>
Jordan Purpero
Early in Jordan's career, he worked with a coach and found it to be the most valuable development experience he'd ever had. Since then, he's been fascinated by what allows people and teams to grow through challenge, connect more deeply, and lead from a place of compassion and curiosity. Learn more about Jordan>>
Matthew Raabsmith
Matthew became a coach because he saw the value in his own life of coaching and counseling that has benefitted 10 fold. He also was drawn to coaching because it allows him to work with clients all across the world and help them bring the best out in themselves. Meet Matthew>>

UPGRADE YOUR COACHING SKILLS FOR NEURODIVERGENT CLIENTS
EXPLORE COACH APPROACH TRAINING INSTITUTE’S TRANSFER COACH PROGRAM
As coaches, regardless of our specialties, we will encounter clients whose brains work a little differently. Further, as awareness, diagnosis, and information regarding ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity increases, more clients are willing to share their own neurotypes and how they impact home, work, and life. Are you prepared to work with these clients to the best of your ability? At Coach Approach Training Institute, we offer experienced coaches the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of ADHD and neurodiversity in our Transfer Coach program. Whether you wish to take a few courses to increase understanding and hone your skills, or pursue a track to one of our Level 2 ADHD/ND-related credentials, we’ve got offerings steeped in a strengths-based, holistic approach taught by pioneers in the field.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn:
-
What distinguishes ADHD coaching from other specialties
-
How somatic practices and coaching techniques can support our neurodivergent clients
-
Discerning the fact from the fiction with the latest ADHD information
-
Development of self-support and advocacy for neurodiverse clients
-
Ethical considerations (and knowing when to refer to another professional)
-
Plus, mentor/lab courses that satisfy group and individual mentoring requirements
This program is open to coaches with at least 60 hours of ICF-accredited training, and 100 or more client hours. Coaches should schedule time with Director of Education, Sara Skillen, PCC, COLC, CPO to discuss prior training transfer requirements.
You’ll be in the company of other experienced coaches from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, enriching the overall learning experience. The first course (a prerequisite to all others), Distinguishing ADHD Coaching, runs this fall, Mondays, November 10, 24, Dec. 1, 8, 15 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm ET. Spaces are limited.

The Connector Program

HELP WELCOME NEW MEMBERS IN YOUR AREA!
The Connector program is designed to help new members feel welcome when they join our chapter. For each new member, we assign a Connector who becomes a resource and point person for them for the first 2-3 months.
The goal is to have Connectors in each of our 4 geographic areas so that we can assign new members locally. We consistently hear that a huge benefit to ICFTN membership is building relationships with local coaches for networking and potential collaboration....this program makes that happen for both parties! Being a Connector is extremely rewarding and does not require huge effort or time commitment, it is simply meeting and greeting the occasional new member in your area.
Please contact Director of Membership, Lisa Gamble directly at [email protected] to sign up to be a Connector. She will provide all the information you need.

The Connector Program

HELP WELCOME NEW MEMBERS IN YOUR AREA!
The Connector program is designed to help new members feel welcome when they join our chapter. For each new member, we assign a Connector who becomes a resource and point person for them for the first 2-3 months.
The goal is to have Connectors in each of our 4 geographic areas so that we can assign new members locally. We consistently hear that a huge benefit to ICFTN membership is building relationships with local coaches for networking and potential collaboration....this program makes that happen for both parties! Being a Connector is extremely rewarding and does not require huge effort or time commitment, it is simply meeting and greeting the occasional new member in your area.
Please contact Director of Membership, Lisa Gamble directly at [email protected] to sign up to be a Connector. She will provide all the information you need.
Congratulations to the 2024 Chapter Award Winners
A special congratulations to Mary George Stephenson on receiving the esteemed Pat White Chapter Service Award and to Rod Francis on being honored with the Community Service Award; both outstanding ICFTN members exemplify dedication and excellence in their contributions to the coaching profession and the broader community.
Congratulations to AMAze on their outstanding achievement of winning the prestigious Prism Award! AMaze is a student-led organization at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville that provides real-world marketing experience for students. AMAze is part of the university's American Marketing Association (AMA) chapter led by distinguished lecturer and Faculty advisor Cindy Raines.

Congratulations To Shad Morgheim: Award Recipient Honoring Dan Haile
In late 2021, the awards committee expressed a desire to honor and recognize Dan Haile, who died last year from an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Dan was a long-time member and active contributor to our chapter. He served in multiple roles over the years as president and treasurer and on multiple committees. As a coach who built a successful full-time business, Dan was passionate about seeing other coaches do the same. He also believed the role of ICFTN was to support coaching in doing so.
In his honor, the board approved a one-time award to a new member of the chapter who has demonstrated a commitment to achieving a coaching certification or credential, is actively working to build a coaching business, and has become an active contributor to the work of the chapter.
We are pleased to announce the recipient of this award is Shad Morgheim.
Shad joined the chapter last year, having left a full-time job to start a business as a coach. He has already begun to serve the chapter by participating in the work of the Professional Development Committee. We’re pleased to welcome Shad to the profession and to our chapter.
Congratulations, Shad!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ICFTN MEMBER PATTI JAMES - 2021 RUTHERFORD ATHENA AWARD
Patti James, the owner of PB&J Consulting, was named the recipient of the 2021 Rutherford ATHENA Award at a luncheon this month. Patti is a member of ICFTN and we honor her. The 5-year-old Murfreesboro consulting firm helps clients with career coaching. The ATHENA Award recognizes an individual who excels in her profession, gives back to the community, and helps raise up other leaders, especially women. As a leader, coach, and mentor, James inspired fierce advocacy with her collaborative style in business and the community,” said Julie Lewis, 2021 Rutherford ATHENA chair. “Patti represents the heart of Athena with her years lifting other women who were also working in male-dominated industries,” James said after accepting the award. “I’m the daughter of a preacher and a teacher, and in that kind of family our culture was really a culture dedicated to giving back, collaborating, and advocating fiercely.

STARCHAPTER PAY UPDATE
As of January 29th, ICF Tennessee is no longer using PayPal as our payment processing system for registrations and memberships. When you complete a transaction on our website, you will notice that we have adopted StarChapter Pay as our new system. We anticipate a smooth transition and if there are any questions feel free to reach out to [email protected].
Celebration Of Chapter Service
Another celebration is to thank members who’ve stepped up to volunteer their service to our chapter. Not only are they making it possible for all members to benefit from all that we offer as a chapter, they also are forming connections with each other and our coaching communities. Would you like to enhance your feeling of connection to our chapter and to other coaches? If so, join them and the Board by becoming a committee member. The Membership, Professional Development, Marketing, and Outreach committees are always accepting members. So if you can’t join now, join later. And, if you can’t join for an on-going role, check in with a Director to find a short-term opportunity. And, if that doesn’t work, be sure to let a committee member or Director know what you’d like to see and experience as a member. Someone else may be able to bring that idea to life. You can find a way to impact what we do as a chapter and deepen your connection to this ICF Tennessee community in a way that works for you.

ICFTN NAVIGATOR PROGRAM

The navigator program is an opportunity for coaches to serve other coaches by sharing expertise and providing support. Navigator engagements consist of three 30-minute conversations. These interactions might focus on career, entrepreneurship or family, education, work-life balance, or any other topics the two parties agree on. Here’s how it works:
This program is designed to help our members build relationships, get needed resources, and pay it forward. Navigators will offer their time and identify their areas of expertise. Protégés will identify a need question or problem they have. The membership committee will pair Navigators with Proteges. They each sign terms of agreement and the pair will schedule and meet on their own from there.
The ICFTN NAVIGATOR PROGRAM: matching a Coach with a question to a Coach with an answer.

ICFTN NAVIGATOR PROGRAM

The navigator program is an opportunity for coaches to serve other coaches by sharing expertise and providing support. Navigator engagements consist of three 30-minute conversations. These interactions might focus on career, entrepreneurship or family, education, work-life balance, or any other topics the two parties agree on. Here’s how it works:
This program is designed to help our members build relationships, get needed resources, and pay it forward. Navigators will offer their time and identify their areas of expertise. Protégés will identify a need question or problem they have. The membership committee will pair Navigators with Proteges. They each sign terms of agreement and the pair will schedule and meet on their own from there.

From August 2020 Newsletter
GET CLEAR WITH COACHING - Coaches Needed!
As part of giving back to our community, our chapter has set a goal of offering 100 pro bono coaching sessions the week of September 21 through the Get Clear with Coaching program. This program raises awareness about our profession throughout the community by offering individuals a one-time opportunity to experience coaching.
Right now, we have 13 coaches signed up, which means each coach will need to offer 7-8 sessions that week to meet our goal. Please consider volunteering your time to offer a few sessions - you pick the day(s), the time, and how you want to coach (phone, videoconference, etc.). We’ll set you up in our scheduling program, and Individuals will sign up online to meet with the coach of their choice.
To participate in either program, you need to:
-
Have an ICF credential (ACC, PCC, or MCC) or have completed at least 60 hours of coach training that is ICF accredited or recognized or recognized by the International Coaching Community
-
Be a member of ICF-TN
-
Be a member of ICF Global or sign a commitment to uphold the ICF Global Code of Ethics
To volunteer, please complete the online form at https://icftn.org/form.php?form_id=20&c=1 by August 7 , and a member of the Outreach Committee will reach out to you by August 14 with more information.
Thank you in advance for helping promote coaching in our community.

What is the name of your company?
Lei Comerford Consulting

Independent Coach, Facilitator and Learning and Development Consultant
What area is the focus of your coaching business?
I am a leadership coach with background in healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, hospitality, and consulting.

Is there anything else you would like us to know about you?
I have a passion for helping others reach beyond their goals through increased self-awareness. When working with individuals, focus is placed on values clarification and motivators to empower clients to see things differently through a lens not previously available. When working with teams, we start with self-awareness and assessment profiles to open the door to team discussions to realize their greatest potential. My objective is to empower effectiveness and engagement with each client!
