The International Coach Federation defines coaching as: partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential. At the heart of coaching is the belief that clients are the experts in their lives and are themselves creative, resourceful and whole. The coaching relationship provides a safe space for supporting clients in discovering what is important to them and designing action plans for accomplishing goals in line with their values. W4C3 was founded to reach out to women who may not have had access to coaching services and are ready to work with a coach to affect positive change in their lives. The core of the W4C3 program is the one-on-one coaching partnership. Professional coaches provide pro-bono coaching services for women whose income is at or below $40K annual djusted gross income. The coach and client commit to a round of 12 coaching sessions which are delivered via phone or skype. In addition to the one-on-one partnerships, W4C3 builds community through educational calls for coaches & clients. Teleclasses for clients are geared toward skill building, such as money management, job search, self-esteem or other topics in which clients express interest.
