Coaching for the Climate

In Support of Climate Coaching Action Day

The fifth Climate Coaching Action Day takes place on 6 March 2024.

Climate Coaching Action Day is an annual event, dedicated to raising awareness about the intersection of climate change and coaching practices. It is a platform for showcasing success stories, sharing best practices, and fostering collaboration among coaches, environmental experts, and sustainability advocates. It emphasises the importance of integrating climate consciousness into coaching approaches, empowering coaches to facilitate positive action and resilience in the face of climate change.

This initiative was launched in 2020 by Coaching at Work and has always intended to be an invitation for individuals and organisations to embrace, including the Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA), professional coaching and coaching psychology bodies and coach training organisations such as the AoEC.

Coaching in the Climate Crisis: A Certificate in Climate Coaching

How can it help you as a coach? 

The course helps coaches find the tools and the know-how to coach big, systemic and complex topics such as the unfolding climate crisis. But more so, it helps coaches find their voice, their courage and their community to take meaningful personal and professional action. Clients appreciate the freedom and permission to talk about these big topics, and I believe the 21st century skill expected of coache's is that we should be able to comfortably and skillfully coach around this subject.

“I now have direction in what I want to contribute to the effort to address our climate crisis and have begun to learn some tools in my toolbox. I feel this has opened an entirely new direction for my work.”

Hilary Lynch

“The course generated clarity in how I personally connect with climate, with an interest to explore building my knowledge more, to support my coaching practice.”

Gary Smith

“This is a great starter course into the complex world of "climate coaching". Lots of opportunities for those new to it to find their feet and develop confidence, and for those more familiar with it to have time to think about their skill gaps and where they want to progress their climate coaching practice. The course was very well designed and really skilfully facilitated by George and Kirstie. Thank you!”

Linda Aspey

“This was a beautiful opportunity to learn more about climate conscious coaching in a sophisticated learning space held by very skilled facilitators. It was just the right balance of reflection, personal sharing, discussion, content provision, coaching practice/application and inspiration! I heartily recommend it to anyone committed to working in this profoundly important way.”

Lucy West

“Thought provoking and insightful programme. A really useful space to help bring climate coaching into your coaching practice. And really great diversity of thought and participants.”
