Coaching for Impact

ProInspire’s new program to connect individuals with experienced leadership coaches for an executive coaching engagement

Program Overview

Are you are at a point of transition with a new challenge or opportunity? Do you have a gap in knowledge, skills, confidence, or resources? Do you want support in identifying your core strengths and how best to leverage them? If so, then Coaching for Impact is for you.

Since our founding in 2009, we have integrated coaching into ProInspire’s fellowship and leadership development programs. Recognizing the effect that a coaching relationship can have on a nonprofit leader’s potential for social impact, we launched the ProInspire Coaching for Impact Program to connect nonprofit leaders with experienced coaches for an affordable coaching engagement. Through five interactive coaching sessions over the course of three months, the program provides social sector leaders at all levels with a deeper understanding of leadership coaching, effective tools for goal setting, and renewed energy/purpose for their work — at a much lower cost than standard coaching engagements.

*We are currently at capacity and not taking on new coaching clients.

Coaching Approach

ProInspire designed Coaching for Impact based on guidelines set forth by the International Coach Federation (ICF). Coaches act as partners to participants to inspire them to maximize personal and professional potential. Participants are experts in their lives and work and coaches believe in their creativity and resourcefulness. The coach’s responsibility is to:

  • Discover, clarify, and align on participant goals
  • Encourage participant self-discovery
  • Stimulate participant generated solutions and approaches
  • Hold the participant responsible and accountable
