The IAC® was officially founded on March 11, 2003, exactly one month after Thomas’s death. While he was not here to see the organization be officially born, we know he would be proud of the way in which his mission
and wishes for coaches and clients are being carried on by the IAC®.

Thomas was always asking “What separates a great coach from the rest;
how do I find a great coach; and, how do I know I am a great coach?”

Thomas’s quest to find – and teach – these answers led to creating
2 different coach training programs and establishing the international standards for coaching certification.

One of his final initiatives before his death was creating the IAC®
in order to have a certification process that goes far beyond
simple academic or vocational qualifications – far beyond an intellectual understanding of coaching – and a process that acknowledges there
are many paths to mastery, including other life and career experiences.

The IAC® embraces universal guidelines, principles, proficiencies, standards and behaviors that make a coach a masterful coach, regardless
of profession, geography, or previous schooling.

Modeling this, in 2005 the IAC® undertook the task of evolving the coaching standards to include global perspectives. Over a 24 month period, the team that developed the IAC Coaching Masteries®, worked diligently to provide a model of coaching skills that embodied universal principles of coaching, an awareness of cultural differences, as well as an evolving understanding of coaching.
