Janet M. Harvey
Washington State, USA
CEO, inviteCHANGE; global President of the International Coaching Federation, 2012
CEO of inviteCHANGE, an accredited coach-training organisation, and a Master Certified Coach. She served as global President of the International Coaching Federation in 2012 and has chaired the ICF Foundation Board. Author of two books.
Why this placement
ICF MCC plus the global presidency of the profession's largest body is senior standing earned by peer election, entirely independent of the Thinkers50 and Goldsmith network. Leading an accredited training organisation means her contribution compounds through the coaches she certifies rather than stopping at her own client list.
Two published books and sustained work on generative wholeness as a coaching stance give her a stated methodology that others can examine and use.
Editorial notes and exclusions
- Correction to a widely-repeated claim. She was ICF Global President in 2012, not Global Board Chair. She chaired the ICF Foundation board, which is a different body. Both are significant; conflating them is not accurate.
- Her books are published through Advantage / ForbesBooks, which operates a hybrid author-participation model rather than conventional trade acquisition — noted for transparency, and the reason her publication score is lower than the raw count suggests.
