Why Ignite Global Awards?
The Ignite Global Awards Mission
We aspire to recognize and celebrate the best in coaching – beyond boundaries, beyond affiliations, beyond limitations. We honor those who elevate coaching as a profession, inspire change, and make a lasting impact on individuals and communities worldwide.

Independent Excellence Recognition
Unlike awards that are limited to specific coaching associations, Ignite Global is an independent recognition partner—meaning we are not affiliated with any single coaching body. We acknowledge all exceptional coaches who demonstrate impact, transformation, and excellence, regardless of their accreditation.
Inclusivity Without Compromise on Standards
We believe that true coaching excellence is not confined to a single framework, methodology, or professional standard. While we maintain a high regard for ethical coaching and professionalism, we ensure that coaching is accessible and open to practitioners who deliver genuine impact through their work.
Beyond Credentials – Recognizing Real-World Impact
Many awards focus only on credentials—but Ignite Global goes beyond certifications. Our awards celebrate coaches who create real-world impact—individually, in communities, organizations, and globally—through innovation, policy influence, social change, and transformative results.
A Truly Global and Open Platform
Coaching is an ever-evolving profession, and we believe in recognizing diverse coaching specializations. Whether a coach works in executive coaching, leadership, trauma-informed coaching, relationship coaching, or any other specialization, our awards celebrate the broad spectrum of coaching excellence.
Unbiased & Transparent Selection Process
Unlike many awards that may favor internal members or affiliated organizations, our selection process is transparent, fair, and merit-based. We ensure that all applicants are evaluated equally, based on their contributions to coaching, professional integrity, and transformational impact.

Ignite Global Definition of Coaching
Coaching is a collaborative, client-centered process that facilitates deep reflection, self-awareness, and strategic forward movement. It is a professional discipline that empowers individuals to unlock their potential, navigate challenges, and achieve meaningful progress through structured, thought-provoking conversations.
At its core, coaching is built upon a partnership of equals, where the coach serves as a catalyst for transformation rather than an advisor or instructor. The coach does not provide solutions but rather creates a reflective space for the client to generate their own insights, strategies, and actions.
Coaching must be delivered in alignment with the Ignite Global Definition of Coaching, emphasizing client autonomy, holistic integration, and ethical practice as follows:
Coaching is a reflective and strategy-driven process designed to empower clients toward self-led growth and forward movement.
The coach acts as a catalyst, not a subject-matter expert, maintaining a partnership-based approach.
Coaching must enable client autonomy, forward movement, and psychosomatic connection, integrating emotional and holistic aspects of personal and professional development.
The role of the coach is to create a space for deep self-reflection, provide presence, and facilitate transformation without imposing personal expertise.
Coaching must honor the client’s lived experience, fostering deep listening, presence, and non-directive support to facilitate sustainable change.
Coaching excellence is determined by the depth of reflective engagement, strategic forward movement, and the ability to facilitate transformative change.
The coach must demonstrate a high level of presence, partnership, and an ability to empower clients rather than act as an expert or instructor.
Coaches must create an inclusive and psychologically safe environment, ensuring that coaching remains a space for personal transformation, self-awareness, and sustainable change.
The coach demonstrates a deeper presence to themselves, the coaching process and the client with a high level of empathy, focusing on client autonomy, where the coach’s focus is on being rather than doing.
Professional Coaching Standards & Ethical Guidelines
Applicants must demonstrate alignment with established coaching standards and ethical guidelines.
Commitment to Coaching Ethics
Applicants must uphold recognized coaching ethics and standards, such as the ICF or EMCC ethical guidelines.
Client-Centered & Developmental Coaching
