She is keen to reach out to those who would not normally be able to benefit from coaching, so a proportion of her time every year is donated to coaching in non-profit organisations that are dedicated to improving quality of life of their communities.

The Role of Coaches in Climate Action
11 November, 2022
This event, co-hosted by the IAC and APECS, kicked off the series of Roundtable events by asking:
- What is the role of coaches, supervisors, mentors, and coaching psychologists in addressing climate change?
- What role do we, as practitioners, need to step into at this pivotal moment in history?
Coaching’s role is to work with – to support, challenge, develop, and partner with – the stakeholders who contract services and are impacted by those services. There is no coaching without clients. But how equipped are coaches to work in this new context with increasing evidence of climate and ecological crisis, alongside connected economic, political, and social challenges?

In a unique collaboration eight (at the time, now 11) leading coaching, coaching psychology, mentoring and supervision professional bodies have signed a Joint Global Statement on Climate Change committing ourselves to a collective voice and collaborative action on the climate and ecological crisis.
Given our coaching role to develop individuals and organisations in the service of creating social value, we have pledged to work together to play our part in addressing the climate emergency.
We share a commitment to raising awareness and knowledge with our members and to providing safe and challenging spaces for them to reflect on their role and their practice in the light of global challenges.
Together we are hosting open conversations on the Joint Global Statement on 6 dates from early to mid-November to share discussion, inquiry and reflection on these issues. All members of our professional bodies, as well as non-members, are welcome at each and all of these dates. Representatives of the signatory bodies will co-facilitate the sessions.
