What is coaching?

Coaching is a focused conversation that creates change. It is a structured space of exploration where you find your own answers, with someone alongside you who asks the right questions, holds the space, and helps you see things from angles you hadn’t considered.

One-on-one coaching

We offer individual coaching for leaders and practitioners navigating complexity, transition, or growth in social change roles. Sessions are confidential, structured, and shaped entirely around what you bring — whether that is a strategic challenge, a leadership question, or something harder to name.

Our clients range from the owner of a sustainability-focused furniture business to the CEO of a human rights NGO. What they share is a commitment to doing meaningful work, and a recognition that having a trusted thinking partner makes a real difference when going through challenging times.

Group and peer coaching

We believe some of the most powerful change happens in community. Our group coaching and peer coaching circles bring together people working in social and climate change to support each other through real challenges — professional and personal. In a peer coaching circle, each person gets their own space to be coached, while others take turns as coaches and observers. The circle runs on mutual respect, confidentiality, and the conviction that each person brings irreplaceable wisdom. Optimism and a spirit of play are part of how we work.

With over ten years of experience coaching teams of frontline staff across health and justice systems in multiple countries, we have seen how systems change efforts are deepened when teams have the ongoing support of a coach as they work toward shared goals.

A special mention to Becky Seale and Coaching Communities, who offer fantastic low-cost coaching skills development and network-building — and whose peer coaching circle I am still part of today.
