Joanne Blackerby

Joanne Wong Blackerby, MCC is a Master Certified Coach, coaching supervisor, educator, and framework architect with over two decades of experience helping leaders, coaches, and organizations navigate the complex intersection of identity, power, culture, and ethical practice.

She is the Founder of ClarityCoachME™ and Co-Founder of Adaptive Coaching™, and the creator of four original frameworks: The Core Four™ (Competence, Ethics, Values, Culture), The 3 R’s of Reflective Practice™ (Reflective, Reflexive, Responsive), The Rule of Four™, and Culturally Sustainable Coaching Practice™.

Joanne holds the ICF Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential and EMCC Senior Practitioner status, and has mentored, supervised, and evaluated hundreds of coaches from ACC through MCC level.

As a Kaizen Torch juror, Joanne brings a rigorous, values-grounded lens to recognizing excellence in coaching — one that honors both technical mastery and the deeper human qualities that make coaching transformational.

Based in Austin, Texas, she continues to ask the question at the heart of her life’s work: Who am I in the room, and what does my presence make possible?
