Coaching the Global Village
“It’s definitely a less hands-on role for us, but one that will allow us to have a much
greater reach. To be a greater source for good,” says Williams.
“It’s very exciting,” explains Williams. “This is a very real way to help promote the
entire coaching industry. The outcomes of what the various projects could be are
extremely exciting.”

“My goal is for this to be so simple is can be taught to anyone while
sitting under a tree,” explains Williams. “You don’t need electricity, you
don’t need PowerPoint.”
Created from a grant by the Harnisch Family Foundation, the Coaching
Essentials Toolkit was created (in partnership with CCL) as a product or
“tool” that could be introduced and then left behind in communities with
local leaders and coaches. In keeping with the mission of the Coaching
the Global Village, the toolkit would be used by individuals to continually
foster the necessary sustainable change in their communities.
Participants in the toolkit receive understanding on the basic concepts
of the coach approach, key coaching practices and tools, and enhanced
leadership and mentoring skills.

is a simple complete all-in-one coaching kit designed to be used by
anyone in the field.
Marketing
So what else is next for Coaching the Global Village? Well that could be up to you.
While there are currently initiatives set to begin in Haiti, Uganda, and Guatemala,
as well as in the US and Canada under the newly structured organization, the
received RFPs will help identify and create the new missions. This unique new
approach is now more inclusive of the entire coaching industry, rather than limited
to the exclusive programs of selective nonprofits.

Benefits
William’s outline for the future of the program involves CGV partnering with large
private donors and applying for government grants in order to begin the funding
of several more on-going coaching initiatives. Ideally, any qualified coach would
be able to come to them, explain their respective idea or passion project, and
the newly formed advisory board would review the projects Request for Proposal
(RFP) and fund the desired projects. This transition turns CGV into more of a
supportive and financial role for coaching projects and is meant specifically to
address the biggest obstacle in coaching initiatives: funding.
