What Is the Coaching Direct Foundation?
When Coaching Direct was established back in 2008, it had one clear founding principle - coaching should be available to everyone.
The Coaching Direct Foundation (CDF) was formally set up in 2019, with the aim of bringing coaching into more 3rd sector organisations who could not access this support due to financial reasons. We believe in the powerful impact coaching has in leadership and want to reach as many leaders as we can, so we can support them as they support and grow their organisations.
Our core mission is to use the resources and skills we have built up in our team since 2008, to facilitate and find innovate ways to provide coaching to those who are not able to access it due to financial reasons. Our core vision is to support a wide range of leaders in the social enterprise, voluntary and charity sector and to measure the impact coaching can make.
For example, we have recently partnered with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations to provide their members with a coaching programme of six free sessions of coaching from our trainee coach base (around 20 separate coaching programmes per year). This has a dual pronged benefit, their members will experience coaching, whilst giving our trainee coaches real-life experience of coaching to hone and refine their skills. The Coaching Direct team supply the trainee coaches, run the programme and supervise the quality of the programme purely pro bono.
We have also recently worked with Working Rite to support their management team and another Social Enterprise called Brave Strong Beautiful using our trainee coach base from a recent client training programme.
We are constantly looking at innovative ways to support the 3rd sector and we work with our clients so we can align to their CSR approaches.
