“Through the Coaching Lens leadership, we were able to clearly establish a reset mission, vision, and values for Northwest London Resource Centre. This collaborative experience included the voice of youth, social sector leaders, and decision-makers who guide the services in the community. Members of The Coaching Lens bring a wealth of experience and confidence into a thoughtful, guiding approach. The Coaching Lens is an excellent source of knowledgeable strategic thinkers who can guide community groups and associations into successful short and long-term goal setting and community planning.”
Nancy Needham, Executive Director, South London Neighbourhood Resource Centre
“Mary Ann facilitated a process in which our council was able to dig deeper and understand “the why” that drives our volunteer efforts. Not only did she support us in tapping into our own purpose she created a framework for us to articulate our shared values and long-term goals. We now have a vision for our community that guides our decisions and our actions everyday. It was a pleasure to work with Mary Ann and her team.”
Heather Fredin, Registered Psychotherapist, Chair, Suicide Prevention Middlesex London
Strategic Planning through a coaching lens, offers a process that is co-created and customized to meet the unique needs of the organization. The process of co-creating the plan ensures the best fit and builds trust and ownership of the work to be done. The strategic planning journey encompasses analysis, direction and implementation but always begins with a shared articulation and clear understanding of the organization’s purpose: the “Why” the organization exists. The Coaching Lens has extensive experience in strategic planning with non-profit organizations.
A Coaching Culture puts people at the heart of the organization’s success. We believe organizations THRIVE when individuals, leaders and teams feel valued, are engaged in contributing to the mission and vision of the organization and inspired to do and be their best.
The Coaching Lens provides a comprehensive approach that includes collaborative planning, integrating coaching principles and developing coaching skills at all levels within throughout the organization. Executive coaching, leadership coaching, team coaching and coaching skill training workshops are options for inclusion in a customized plan.
