coaches

12. Why the Foundation Was Formed
• There is great benefit to leadership coaching as has been demonstrated in
both the private and public sectors
• Many leaders in government and 40,000 International Non-government
Organizations around the world do not avail themselves of leadership
coaching for a variety of reasons:
– Lack of information about coaching and its benefits
– Lack of resources to support the coaching they want
– Political or public barriers to openly participate in coaching
• Providing access to leadership coaching to those leaders who are committed
to global sustainability could significantly impact the future of our world
