🗓  10 weeks
🤩  16 Coaches
💛  More than 100 free coaching sessions offered!

"Coaching for L&D"  was the most rewarding project I had the opportunity to experience as part of the L&D SHAKERS community. And I was lucky to do amongst talented and passionate people that had one common goal: to give back to the L&D community and support them with free coaching sessions.

This pandemic brought a lot of challenges and also a lot of opportunities. But most of all, it brought us together!

Coaching for L&D is a dreamy project made with so much love by Anamaria Dorgo and I am happy to part of this initiative.
- It taught me that the will to support and empower doesn't have limits.
- It was a true example of the saying:  "if there is a will there is a way".
- It moved me and pushed me to grow!

Looking forward to kick off the Coaching for L&D 0.2

Andy has helped me to see past some of my internal obstacles which are holding me back. He has provided me with some really helpful exercises to incorporate into my daily routine that will grow my confidence and help me to attain my dream next role.

Ethie makes it so natural to approach the big picture, even if you feel totally lost inside it 😊 I had some very good insights from her about the “super practical” approach, how to start small and be kind to myself in the process. She is inspiring and I am grateful to have had her as a coach, thank you!

From the start, Jane was personable and eager to listen and learn about me, which made our coaching session an engaging and easy-going one. I appreciated her flexibility as I came with broad questions related to transitioning from independent consulting to a full-time role. Our session gave me space to explore some of the questions and fears that I’m having in this seasons of my career, and also to hear from Jane’s own experience as an L&D professional. She provided me some helpful insights that I’ll be sure to think more about and incorporate into my work in the weeks to come.

Santa helped me rediscover what was truly important to me, and what was causing such disconnection with my authentic self.

Dana openly listened to me and presented no judgement, which allowed me to speak and reflect freely. By being able to speak openly in such an environment, I’ve identified something to focus on and work on in myself which I didn’t see as clearly before.

Thanks to this great initiative of lL&D Shakers I had the opportunity to coach wonderful L&D people from different countries who were facing challenging situations. Every session ended with two big smiles - one on my coachee's face and one on my own.
The support from Ana and Lena was great and it was a pleasure to work with such a passionate group of coaches!

In one short hour I got so much more that I thought. I feel Raf truly listened to my needs, asked me some powerful questions and helped me with figuring out next steps in my career. I have to say I was skeptical what I would get from such a short session and someone who doesn’t know me, considering I am usually really introspective on my own. Raf made me feel really relaxed and created a safe place, and really listened. Thank you for the encouragement and new perspectives :)

Vicki guided me to verbalize the thoughts that I had to be aware of the things that helped me in the past. The conversation was very deep and intensive for me, thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of this coaching program. I’m so grateful to Vicki because she helped me to get a direction when I was stuck in life with so many things. I felt a connection with her, she’s so empathetic and I was so relieved after this session. All the clouds were scattered and the things are obvious for me right now.

The session with Lena was magical! She helped me get in touch with my emotions, by using different body movements she that she made feel so natural! She gave me an amazing energy that I carried with me the entire week after the coaching session. She also helped me identify my strengths and she encouraged me to find ways to use them whenever I can. Thank you, Lena!
