Loretta Diez Coaching Training Scholarship is open for submissions!

Last year (2025) Jaralyn Roberts was our recipient!

ICF Minnesota is on a mission to promote the development of a diverse community of coaches dedicated to serving others inclusively and equitably. One way we strive to do this is through our Loretta Diez Coaching Training Scholarship to help make becoming a coach financially easier.

We established the Loretta Diez Coach Training Scholarship in honor of Loretta Diez, a former ICF Minnesota coach and board member who passed away in 2024. Loretta exemplified the character traits we wish to honor, celebrate, and embody. She was paralyzed in a car accident at the age of 22 and her attitude, accomplishments, contributions, and approach to life inspire us to pursue our dreams with courage, tenacity, resilience, honesty, kindness, humor, integrity and hope.

Through this scholarship we hope to honor her life and help usher in the next generation of incredible coaches. The nomination window is now open and will close on July 24, 2026.

If you or anyone you know would like to apply, please apply with the link below or reach out with any questions to [email protected].

Have you been wondering how to navigate the shifting landscape of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Belonging (DEIJB) thoughtfully and ethically?

How can we tackle these issues in today's political climate? Furthermore, we coaches are being asked to hold space for clients experiencing stress, moral injury, and deep uncertainty about safety, belonging, and responsibility—how do we do this when we often carry these same burdens ourselves?

ICF Minnesota has arranged with Coaching for Social Justice to facilitate this timely and important Dialogue. CSJ is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to equipping coaches to be as effective as possible when working with clients on DEIB and social identity issues.

Join us on June 24th at 11am-12pm CST via Zoom!

Come connect (virtually) with fellow ICF MN coaches for an energizing hour of conversation, idea-sharing, and community.
We’ll lightly explore the topic of pricing, something many coaches think about but don’t always talk about openly:

- How do you know you’re priced right?
- How do your rates stack up with similar offerings?
- Are you charging your worth?

If talking about money feels a little uncomfortable, you’re in the right place. This is a safe, supportive space to have honest conversations and learn from one another.

The Internal Coaching Network (ICN), a partnership between International Coaching Federation Minnesota Chapter (ICF MN) and Center for Coaching in Organizations (CCO), brings together professionals who are leading or participating in internal coaching programs within organizations across the Twin Cities.

ICN creates a confidential, judgment-free space for internal coaches to connect, share best practices, and explore common challenges such as strategic alignment, program funding, and leading change inside organizations. Through a mix of in-person and virtual gatherings throughout the year, the network fosters learning, innovation, and community among those advancing coaching cultures within their organizations.

The April Internal Coaching Network (ICN) session brought together a highly experienced group of coaches and leaders for a candid exchange on the impact of AI on coaching within organizations, as well as a “Coaching Lab” where a couple of internal coaches shared challenges they are facing and gathered suggestions and inputs from fellow coaches in a safe and confidential environment.

If you are currently leading or participating in an internal coaching program and are interested in learning more or joining the network, we invite you to connect with the ICN community. Meetings are held every other month, either virtually or in person. For more information, please reach out to ICN Core Team member Jim Willenbring at [email protected].

DEIJB Book Club
Register here: https://www.icfminnesota.org/content.aspx?page_id=4002&club_id=907122&item_id=2961447

Date: 3rd Tuesdays, Starting Feb 17, through June 16, 2026
Time: 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM CST

We will meet for the 4th time on Tuesday, May 19th. Our book is Braiding Sweetgrass.
Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer has become quietly influential in the coaching profession—not because it is about coaching, but because it reshapes and re-roots how we understand relationships, respect, wisdom, and responsibility.

If you plan on attending this meeting, if possible, please read the forth section of the book page 205 through page 302. Reading the book is not required; you will still be able to participate in our discussion.
Please join us!
