RCA was born out of a dream of Dr. LaVerne Adams to help coaches to be successful after years of struggling herself to figure out what it takes. After decades of research, training and experience, she discovered that the game changer was skill based upon the ICF core competencies and is the foundation of this ICF Accredited program.
Drawing on decades of experience and a deep understanding of the coaching journey, Dr. LaVerne Adams, a Certified Executive Coach, Trauma Professional, and Diversity Executive, founded the Rich Coaches Academy. Her mission: to empower aspiring and struggling coaches with the skills and business acumen needed to thrive. RCA delivers a comprehensive, personalized training experience, equipping coaches to confidently deliver transformational results, command premium fees, and build a high-demand, impactful practice. She enjoys golf and interior design.

Claudia is also a proud mother and grandmother.
