Meet Ebony Tran —

I am an ICF-Certified Leadership Coach who has guided executives through complexity, transitions, and growth. Known for my deep listening, high emotional intelligence, and systems thinking approach, I have provided coaching services to public and private-sector leaders around the world, specializing in unlocking leadership potential and helping people navigate change through proven coaching methodologies.

Here’s what I believe about this work: you already have everything you need inside you – you’re whole, resourceful, and capable of amazing things. My job isn’t to fix you or tell you what to do, but to create the trust, safety, time, and space for you to figure out your own best path forward. Think of coaching as a true partnership – we both need to be rowing in the same direction if we’re going to get where you want to go. I also know that we all see the world through our own unique cultural lenses, and that’s not something to overcome but something to honor and understand.

My coaching philosophy?

I start from the belief that people are inherently good and that everyone – no matter their age, situation, or where they are in life – has the ability to change and grow.

My intention is always to be positive, hold space for whatever you’re experiencing, and make sure our work together promotes equity and respects who you are and where you come from.

My transitions?

I have moved more than a dozen times through three continents and have reinvented myself personally and professionally several times.

Most recently, I have navigated and coached many colleagues through the significant 2025 transition of the American federal government.

Who am I?

I’m an extroverted former ballet and ballroom dancer who always sees the glass half full.

These days I enjoy travel, photography, and sappy romance movies.
