Ethiopia: Fertile ground for the sustainable development of NGO leadership coaching.

What if the highest level of executive coaching was accessible to organisations addressing the greatest global challenges of our time? This was the question EthicalCoach first asked itself. Sustainable access to excellent coaching locally is an imperative and accreditation as part of the coach development journey ensures the development of the practices that sustain excellence.

EthicalCoach bridges the for-profit and non-profit worlds, bringing executive coaching, previously only available to corporate leaders, to charities and nonprofit organisations addressing the greatest humanitarian and environmental challenges of our time. By applying the techniques and tools of coaching to philanthropic efforts, EthicalCoach is creating a platform to change lives.

EMCC Global accredited programme(s):

• CMI’s ‘Introduction to Executive and Team Coaching’
• CRR Global’s ‘Relationship-Systems-Intelligence@Work’

EthicalCoach chose to accredit their programmes with EMCC, due to the value placed on reflective practice. From the cohort of 30, ten coaches were selected to co-coach NGO teams with International Coaches throughout 2019. The EthicalCoach Team wished to develop foundational practices that would support coaches for the long-term. EMCC accreditation gave EthicalCoach the structure and framework to design their programmes to create the reflective habit.
