Among other things, the coaching process involves evoking new awareness and exploring possibilities using deep listening, powerful questions, and the setting of goals to put systems of support and accountability in place to move towards desired outcomes.

Being a part of a coaching group allows for leaders to form deep connections with others working in similar fields, level-up their own knowledge through shared study and in-depth exploration, and have strategic, mission-focused opportunities for collaborative planning, troubleshooting and dreaming with others who understand the joys and the struggles of this type of work.   As coaches, we have seen the power of groups directed at business executives that bring groups of people in similar positions together for regular sessions of support, learning, and processing issues in a context where trust has been built and collaboration is a core value.

Collective Impact coaching circles are made-up of 5-12 non-profit leaders from around the Rochester Area. As a part of this circle, our group will meet for one half-day session per month on a regular date/time.

In each session there will be a mix of leadership development activities, group sharing and time to share information on the work of each member’s organization (including new initiatives, facilities tour, etc.)
