IECL Philanthropy: Our Work in the Community
IECL works closely with a large community of alumni, clients and partners to make the biggest difference in the world through coaching
Giving back
IECL Alumni are a unique community of people. Many IECL Alumni were drawn to coaching in order to give back after years spent in organisations, where our talents were not necessarily fully utilised or recognised. For many, coaching is a real calling – a vocation in the truest sense of the word. We are drawn to create change and make a difference in the world. And so to also support the communities we live in makes complete sense.
Pro-Bono Coaching
IECL provides Level 2 or Level 3 trained coaches the opportunity to coach at no or low cost into not for profit and other organisations that require the support that coaching can provide. We have previously worked with Mothers Choice (China) and Mothers Heart (Cambodia), Youth Off The Streets, The Smith Family, and the Ted Noffs Foundation (Australia). Recently our Alumni provided low cost coaching to a group of young leaders of FinTech start-ups, where finances are not available for coaching, but coaches are sorely needed.
Philanthropic Activity
IECL are proud to support a number of very worthy causes, events and campaigns, including Mothers Choice (China) and Mothers Heart (Cambodia), Youth Off The Streets, The Smith Family, and the Ted Noffs Foundation (Australia). We look forward to expanding our support to other parts of the world as our alumni community continues to grow.
Career Guidance for Coaches
Senior IECL Alumni are available to talk to you about your coaching practice, future development as a coach, and provide guidance, advice and/or mentoring on what development or training or marketing would be beneficial to you. Email info@iecl.com to set up a conversation.
