The Compass
Reflections, strategies, and real leadership insights to help you navigate change, challenge, and growth.
Leadership Is About Decency. About Bringing People Together.
We throw the word “leadership” around a lot these days. But let’s be clear: leadership is not about dividing people into camps. It’s not about scapegoating. And it’s certainly not about stoking anger so that chaos looks like strength.
Real leadership is about decency. It’s about building bridges, not burning them. It’s about holding people to a higher standard, not dragging them into the mud.
And in a moment when politics has become a performance of insults, conspiracies, and tribal loyalty tests, we need to remember what leadership is and what it isn’t.
Coaching With Integrity: Why ICF Standards Matter More Than Ever
In a world where anyone can call themselves a coach, standards matter.
Coaching is an unregulated industry. There are no formal barriers to entry, no central licensing authority, and little accountability unless a coach voluntarily chooses to uphold professional standards.
At True North Executive Coaching & Leadership, we believe coaching should be as trusted and respected as any other profession rooted in human development. That trust begins with ethical accountability.
That's why we're proud members of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the leading global organisation for professional coaching. ICF accreditation isn't just a line in our bios, it's the foundation of how we show up.
