Greetings!

First and Foremost
: THANK YOU for your willingness to volunteer your time, expertise and experience to support leaders of non-profit organizations - coaching those who lead in making our world a better place by helping those who need it most.
 
Next (and also important): If you have not yet received a client from The Coach Initiative, please be patient.  We KNOW you are waiting and willing.  We have several new organizations requesting coaches for their leaders and we are in the process of pairing the clients and coaches.
 
The Coach Initiative is presently working with 50+ clients around the world. 
 
Here are a few of the organizations we are supporting with coaches:
  • Vital Voices Global Partnership
  • Search for Common Ground
  • Global Alliance for Children
AND...
The Coach Initiative is moving very quickly and we certainly would like to include you, our coaches, in its growth and development. We have several committees which could use your leadership and support and are issuing a personal invitation to you to join us in our global efforts to make a positive impact in the world (We KNOW the world needs us, now more than ever). What better way to contribute to a more peaceful and healthy world than through our coaching support?
Below you will find a list of the Committees, descriptions and their Committee Chairs. Peruse the list and let us know what resonates with you and where you'd like to play!
 
And... we are looking for "A Few Good Men and Women" to add to The Coach Initiative Board of Directors! Of course, the nominating committee is already gathering a list of some potential Board Members, and if you have an interest in joining us, we would be delighted to add your name to the list for consideration! (note: The Board LOVES Coaching, LOVES giving back, LOVES making this world a better place and has a GREAT time together!).
 
Please hit reply and let us know that you are interested in playing with us in an expanded role and we will get back with you to chat about what's possible. 
Hoping to hear from you...soon!

Our Tribe of Coaches CAN AND WILL forge positive change...truly, WE MUST!
