      50 Ways Coaches Can Change the World - C.J. Hayden

      INTRODUCTION

      Are you ready to change the world? If you’re like most of the coaches I know, you think it needs some changing! As citizens, we have a vision of how things should be, for our government, economy, society, and the environment. As coaches, we hear from our clients and colleagues every day about change that desperately needs to occur. And as changemakers – because that’s who coaches truly are – we want to make it all happen.

      In this book, you’ll get to know your tribe – coaches who not only believe the world needs to change, but are working to change it right this moment. You’ll recognize ways of building a better world that you’re already practicing, find new approaches you haven’t yet tried, and learn about people, places, and tools to help you implement what you discover.

      There are many ways you can make use of this book:

      ~ Find inspiration for your world-changing desires

      ~ Identify new resources to help implement your changemaking goals

      ~ Validate that you’re already on the right track

      ~ Locate others who are on the same path

      ~ Launch a new world-changing project of your own

      In the back of the book, you’ll find a How to Get Started chapter, which will help you determine which of the book’s ideas you might like to act on, and how.

      I hope that you will also consider one more possibility, which is to discuss the ideas in this book with other coaches.

      I’ve provided suggested discussion questions as an appendix, which can be used with a book study group or any coaching community. You can also post comments and queries on the book’s companion website, and explore there what other readers have said.

      One important note – this book contains many website addresses, which were valid at the time of publication. But URLs change quickly, and you may also find it easier to access them via active links than to type them into your browser. On the book’s companion website, you can log in to the readers’ area and find up-to-date, clickable URLs. If you find a URL in the book that no longer works, please check the site for an update.

      I’ve tried to include a variety of perspectives in this book, and you’ll see coaches quoted from around the world and from many different backgrounds, as well as resources from multiple countries. The majority of resources, however, are from the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, which are the areas best known to me.

      If you have additional resources you’d like to suggest, please visit the book’s website and tell us about them. You’re also invited to share your own story of changemaking there.

      For each copy of this book sold, one dollar is donated to the International Coach Federation Foundation, making coaching and coach training available to those who can’t afford it. That’s one more way this book can help coaches promote change.

      Thank you for supporting this project. I look forward to hearing more from you as we all change the world together.

      PART I: CHANGE THE WORLD AS A CITIZEN, EMPLOYEE, OR BUSINESS OWNER

      First and foremost, coaches are citizens of their communities, countries, and the planet we all share. The majority of us are independent business owners, while others work within organizations as employees.

      Each of these roles gives us many opportunities to change the world. When we act to make a difference as a citizen, employee, or business owner, we are serving as role models to our clients and our communities. Walking our talk in this way allows us to be more effective coaches, leaders, and changemakers in any sphere we choose.

      ~~~~~

      1. Offer a portion of your coaching services pro bono.

      Give the gift of coaching to deserving people and organizations who can’t afford to pay.

      Not everyone who could benefit from coaching can afford it. People and organizations who are disadvantaged, at-risk, or doing good work in the world may need coaching the most, but be least able to pay for it. Your coaching can make a powerful contribution to the planet if you commit to giving some of it away.

      As a whole, coaches probably give away more of their professional time than people in most other fields. But, they don’t always have a clear design for this pro bono work. They may be coaching people for free who could actually afford to pay a fee. And, some self-employed coaches may be giving away too much coaching for the health of their own businesses.

      Make a plan for your pro bono coaching.

      1. Designate a percentage of your coaching time that you’re willing to provide at no charge. This gives you both a goal to strive for and an upper limit to keep your altruistic tendencies under control.

      2. Decide who you would most like to benefit from your pro bono work. Select a target market to serve, just as you would to pursue paying clients.

      3. Reach out to people and organizations in the market you’ve chosen, offering coaching for free, with no strings attached. Be proactive rather than reactive to find the pro bono clients you most desire.

      Look for opportunities to offer pro bono coaching through organizations like these:

      I'm a passionate evangelist of pro bono coaching because I dream of a worldwide 'coaching culture,' where most people have basic coaching skills, conversations are supportive and respectful, and having a coach is as common as having a dentist. I recommend offering the gift of coaching not only to those who cannot pay, but to executives and thought leaders. Once they experience coaching, they become coaching advocates for themselves, their organizations, their families, and society.

      2. Volunteer for causes you believe in.

      Coaches are also citizens; offer any of your skills and talents to initiatives you care
