pro bono coaching

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”                                                                                                                  Winston Churchill

purpose

I offer pro bono coaching to those making, or motivated to make, a significant contribution to the two causes about which I feel most passionate:  the climate emergency and dismantling systemic racism – the former because there will be no other issues without a hospitable planet on which to live and the latter because I refuse to be complicit in the perpetuation of a fundamentally unjust society. 

Coaching, in my experience, results in 1+1=3 where the extra 1 is the product of the alchemy between coach and client. Everyone has more potential than they usually realise, either in thought or deed.  My pro bono coaching is about nurturing my clients’ full potential and purpose in the service of causes we both feel passionate about.  

I work best with those:

  • with established careers and a proven track record in leadership positions
  • motivated to contribute to addressing the climate emergency and/or systemic racism
  • committed to their own development
  • who are genuinely unable to otherwise fund coaching

offer

I offer five free sessions with the objective of giving you an opportunity to reflect upon:

  • your career and whether it’s fully aligned with your values and priorities
  • your current position and whether you’re inhabiting it authentically and optimally
  • how you might develop to make a greater contribution either in your current position or in another one
  • a realistic action plan to optimise your contribution and fulfilment, now and in the future

terms and process

Each session is an hour and is held online using Zoom.

Session 1 will be devoted to understanding your current context and priorities, and checking whether we’re a good fit for meeting both our objectives.

Sessions 2-4 will be spent working on your development objectives guided by your priorities.

Session 5 will be devoted to reviewing progress against the objectives, reflecting on learning from the process and mutual feedback.

It will be my working assumption that we’ll only work for five sessions.  If you should wish to continue, we will develop a new coaching contract.  Depending on the impact of your contribution as a result of our work together, we will either continue on a pro bono basis or I will charge a market rate hourly fee on a sliding scale.
