Webinar: Identity in Executive Coaching

With Melanie Peck

The journey to becoming a great coach isn't just about mastering techniques—it’s about embracing our evolving identity and using our whole self in service of our clients.

Hi, I’m Melanie, an executive coach with a background in corporate leadership, human resources, and transitions. After more than 20 years in international HR leadership roles, I transitioned into coaching—only to realize that stepping fully into my identity as a coach required me to explore, question, and redefine who I was.

Through deep personal inquiry, I discovered that the person I am is the coach I am.

My journey—captured in my dissertation on identity and coaching—taught me that coaching is not just about frameworks and skills, but about relating and integrating all parts of ourselves, including our experiences, challenges, and personal narratives.

In this webinar, I’ll share insights from my own transformation, exploring how identity continuously evolves and why understanding all parts of ourselves is crucial to understanding the coaches we are.

Whether you’re an experienced coach or just beginning your journey, this session will offer reflections, challenges, and practical ways to embrace your evolving identity as a coach.

I look forward to guiding you through this conversation and helping you connect more deeply with who you are and the coach you’re becoming.
