In this inspiring episode of Coffee and Conversations, host Donald E. Coleman welcomes Dr. Aikyna Finch, PCC, a trailblazer in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) and Vice President of DEIB for the International Coaching Federation (ICF). With an unstoppable drive for growth, innovation, and impact, Dr. Finch brings clarity and conviction to what it means to coach with purpose and lead with wholeness.

Together, Donald and Dr. Finch explore:

  • How coaching became a calling, not just a career—and how it helped her become more grounded, aligned, and whole
  • The definition of wholeness as internal integration—mind, spirit, purpose, and values sitting at the same table
  • Her message to coaches: stop shrinking in one place to stretch in another
  • Why she believes coaching should be a sacred partnership where truth rises, alignment happens, and wholeness becomes sustainable

Dr. Finch’s story is a testimony to what’s possible when leadership, authenticity, and calling collide. Her voice is bold, her presence commanding, and her mission is clear: to shift culture, raise the bar, and make belonging the standard in coaching and beyond.
