We started The Ethical Coaching Company to challenge the coaching industry to do better, to raise standards, bring depth to the work, and put ethics at the heart of coaching.
That mission mattered. And it worked, awareness is growing, standards are improving, and more coaches are stepping up.
That chapter laid the foundation, but evolution was inevitable
As we've grown, so have the businesses we support. They're not just looking for a coach, they're looking for a partner. Someone who understands leadership, people, and performance. Someone who can help them scale without losing what makes their business great.
That’s why today, The Ethical Coaching Company is a strategic growth and people development partner for ambitious, values-led organisations. We help businesses grow without losing their purpose, their people, or their performance. Through leadership development, coaching, and organisational strategy that puts humans first, we help create the conditions for meaningful, long-term success.
Co-founded by Kirsty Waite and Tienie Loubser, TECC is powered by a small but mighty team of experienced practitioners, bringing together deep expertise in organisational development, behaviour change, business strategy, and ethical leadership. Between us, we’ve supported hundreds of leaders, built impactful programmes, and partnered with organisations navigating real growth and change.
What connects us is a shared belief:
That great businesses are built from the inside out — and that growth done well can change everything for the better.
We believe in fearlessly challenging mediocrity, embodying the spirit of change, and leading the way towards a future that redefines coaching and leadership. Through impactful coaching strategies, we go beyond surface-level changes, unlocking the true potential within.
Our commitment to ethical coaching, leadership and uncompromising quality sets us apart, ensuring genuine and lasting transformation that leaves a positive mark on both individuals and the world around them
We challenge you to do better.
We create space that facilitates growth & development
We do what we say we will.
