Thea Charles

Thea Charles is a life and leadership coach and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consultant. She has been coaching and facilitating workshops in her private practice since 2017. Thea is an ICF accredited Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and is Hogan 360 certified.

Thea’s approach is methodical and structured. She helps clients see the big picture when they feel stuck in the details and is open to pivoting when presented with a new perspective. Thea has been a champion of DEI since the early 2000s by creating student-led initiatives and programs at her college and later by using a democratic approach to change management as a laboratory leader. Thea naturally gravitates to a coaching approach and is often said to not be the loudest in the room but leaves a lasting impact.

In addition to her practice, Thea has served as the VP of DEI for New England Chapter of the International Coaching Federation. As the first person to hold the role, she established an engaged DEI committee and brought DEI focused education to her coach colleagues.
