Welcome to the Coaching Collaborative, a project organized by a team of volunteers at Grounded Idealist.
We are navigating incredibly challenging times that affect us personally and professionally. During these times, many of us could benefit from extra support to help us process, plan, learn, and grow into whatever comes next for us, our sectors, and the world.
To help support those on the frontlines navigating this moment, we are mobilizing a network of skilled, human-centered, and credentialed coaches to offer free coaching. At this time, free coaching is available to former federal employees, contractors, and implementing partners who have been recently furloughed, laid off, put on administrative leave, are otherwise unemployed as a result of executive action and federal workforce reductions, and individuals who are concerned that they may fall into these categories in the near future.
These experienced and vetted coaches are offering their services free of charge to help support affected civil servants, federal contractors, and staff from NGOs and organizations whose jobs and livelihoods have been affected by recent executive action. These coaches come from a range of backgrounds, disciplines, and approaches, including leadership, executive, career, life, somatic, and trauma-informed coaching.
We will make an effort to match clients with coaches based on their profiles and answers to the intake questions. However, understanding the importance of privacy and confidentiality, we are opting to collect minimal personal information and to trust the power of random and unexpected connections. We will do basic vetting of coaches and work to ensure those applying for coaching meet basic criteria.
