Tracey Edwards, Master Certified Coach
I believe change is easier when working with a thought partner. Coaching has been deeply impactful on my life, both personally and professionally, and it has enabled my growth with a sense of clarity and direction.

I am a Master Certified Coach since 2022. The MCC is the highest-level professional credential awarded by the International Coaching Federation. I have over 30 years of professional experience, with the last 26 working at Ernst & Young LLP. My coaching journey began 14 years ago where I co-developed the Transformative Leadership Coaching Program and the Career and Family Transitions Coaching Program at EY. Over the course of 14 years, I’ve coached 1,400+ professionals, including senior executives, mid-level executives and emerging leaders. Lastly, I am a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and am certified in the Leadership Circle Profile assessment.

An ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) is the highest level of certification awarded by the International Coaching Federation, designating an elite seasoned professional who has demonstrated extensive experience and mastery in coaching. MCCs have completed 200+ hours of training, 2,500+ hours of client experience, and 10+ hours of mentor coaching.
A Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach Certification is a professional credential verifying expertise in using the CliftonStrengths assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder) to help individuals and teams identify, develop and apply their innate talents for improved productivity and engagement. It requires completing an intensive course, passing an exam, and submitting coaching evaluations.
The Leadership Circle Profile (LCP) Certification is a professional training program that qualifies coaches, consultants, and HR leaders to administer and debrief the LCP 360 degree assessment. It focuses on enabling practitioners to help leaders understand how their inner beliefs (reactive tendencies) affect their outer behaviors (creative competencies) driving improved leadership effectiveness.
“Working with Tracey has been one of the most meaningful experiences in my leadership journey. Her thoughtful approach challenged me to rethink what executive presence means. Not a set of traits to acquire or behaviors to perform, but a deeper expression of the strengths you already carry. That subtle shift has had a profound impact on how I lead and I show up differently in the rooms that matter because of her work.”
- Dennis Thé, Vice President at Children’s Health
“Tracey helped me gain deeper insight into my strengths while leading a new venture through significant complexity. Her coaching is highly practical and directly applicable in a fast‑paced innovation environment.”
- Jose de Francisco, CEO at Human Scale AI
“Working with Tracey during one of the most pivotal periods of my life—my first year as a Partner, my first pregnancy, and becoming a first-time mom—was truly transformative. She has an exceptional ability to combine deep empathy with thoughtful challenge, creating a space where I felt both supported and stretched.
One of the most impactful elements of our sessions was her simple but powerful question: “What did you take from this session?” It consistently pushed me to reflect, internalize, and turn insight into action.
She helped me build confidence, navigate complexity, and show up more intentionally—both professionally and personally. I always left our conversations feeling clearer, more grounded, and energized. Just as importantly, I genuinely looked forward to our discussions; she is someone you enjoy talking to.
I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who leads with empathy and delivers meaningful impact.”
- Michele Chestnut, Partner at Ernst & Young
