1:1 Coaching
Whether your leadership challenges are rooted in resource constraints, equity, inclusion, structural changes, organizational culture, or strategic dilemmas, you’ve come to the right place.
There are many consultants and legit experts out there who can give you excellent advice about what to do, but who is in your corner when sifting through all the details of implementation?
Who is going to help you make the hundreds of little decisions that eat at your heart and soul?
Who is going to prepare you for those difficult conversations you’ve been dreading for months?
Who is going to help you learn and grow as a leader so that the next time this issue comes around, you’re not phased a bit?
The coaches at the Billions Institute would be honored to support you in this capacity.
Without tending to your own needs for learning, growth, and self-care as a leader, it’s nearly impossible to help your organization navigate the tremendously complex challenges of these times.
We’ve seen 1:1 Coaching work best for folks who are:
CEOs, Executive Directors, or Senior Directors of a non-profit organization or international NGO who needs to make difficult decisions and have difficult conversations on a regular basis, and is interested in doing so in a way that is focused on equity and compassion.
Senior Leaders and Managers in public service at the federal, state, county, and municipal government levels. For example, the Senior Staff of a major city.
Leaders in the United Kingdom’s National Health Service who have graduated from our Spread and Scale Academy.
Graduates of Billions institute trainings who are implementing large-scale change initiatives.
Common coaching questions/FAQ
What are the benefits of coaching? It’s hard to imagine an elite athlete without a professional coach. Multiple coaches at that. It’s the same for leadership. Coaches can help you resolve thorny leadership dilemmas, build upon your strengths, clarify your purpose, and improve your practice as a leader.
How is coaching different from consulting? Consultants bring their specific area of expertise into the mix and make recommendations that either get adopted or not. Coaches are there to support you in achieving your leadership and personal development objectives, whatever they may be.
Is coaching confidential? Yes. Anything you share with your coach stays between you and your coach, no matter who is paying for the session.
Who can benefit from coaching? Any leader who wants to learn, grow, and improve upon their practice can benefit from coaching.
