Coaching for Haiti: checking in with my clients

Two months have passed since I last wrote on the Coaching for Haiti blog. I am painfully aware that I have yet to raise a penny towards Coaching for Haiti and also yearning to contribute to the lives of the men, women and children whose lives were so dramatically affected by the earthquakes in January 2010.

I have made it a principal of my contribution that it will also support my business so that then, at least, I have an inbuilt incentive to take action. Today I publish my newsletter with the following offers and announcements in the News Roundup:

Giving something back - Coaching for Haiti: Moved by the news reportage at the beginning of the year I set up Coaching for Haiti as a way to contribute to the relief efforts following the earthquakes in January 2010. You can read about Coaching for Haiti at http://coachingforhaiti.blogspot.com or contribute ideas via the Coaching for Haiti group on LinkedIn or make a donation directly via www.JustGiving.com/CoachingforHaiti. Equally, look out for our special offers, including our offers below.

Coaching for Haiti – training in coaching skills: In case you are interested to support leaders in your organisation in developing their coaching skills, I am offering to donate 25% of my fees for a two-day Coaching Skills for Leaders course to Coaching for Haiti. Please contact me for further information.

Coaching for Haiti – coaching strategy sessions: I am offering to donate 25% of my fees to Coaching for Haiti for up to ten Strategy Sessions I hold in 2010 with clients with whom I am not currently scheduled to work. These include new clients and former clients who value the opportunity to take stock. A Strategy Session provides an opportunity to step back from your current plans and activities to review plans and to identify those areas in which taking action could provide the greatest leverage across the whole of your current agenda.

Coaching for Haiti – your referrals in 2010: Many new clients reach me via your referral. I’ll be donating 10% of fees for Month One to Coaching for Haiti for any new clients who reach me by referral.

I'd love to think that there are coaches out there who, like me, want to contribute to the lives of people in Haiti. I wonder, are you one of them?
