Tracy Sinclair

South Croydon, England, UK

Executive and board-level coach; Chair of the ICF Global Board of Directors, 2018

Executive and board-level coach, coach trainer and supervisor. She chaired the International Coaching Federation's Global Board of Directors in 2018 and holds the ICF Master Certified Coach credential.

Why this placement

ICF named her a Distinguished Coach in 2023, and that honour sits entirely outside the Thinkers50 and Goldsmith network — under the interlink adjustment, independence of source is precisely what raises a credential's weight. Chairing ICF's global board is the profession's most senior elected office, and she reached it on a peer vote rather than a nomination form.

MCC plus global governance plus a published book (Pavilion) is an unusually complete file: credentialed at the top level, trusted by her peers to run the body that sets the standards, and willing to write the method down.
