One-To-One Women Coaching Women is s a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to assisting underserved women to achieve sustained success in creating the life of their dreams through one-to-one life coaching.
Susie Strauss, the CEO, said it all started when she was attending a conference and she decided that she wanted to give coaching away to 2 women a month who could not afford it. "From sharing that idea and dream with two other coach trainees, we came together to create One to One based on our mutual desire to
provide free coaching to women from challenging situations/background and to women in transition who could not afford to hire a life coach. Once we created the concepts of the life coaching program, other trained life coaches were invited to participate in donating their skills and services to women across the US and Canada."
Since starting in 2004 One-To-One has provided coaching to over 75 women. Each woman gets 26 sessions with a coach (a value of $2600). Their philosophy is to partner with clients for a 6-7 month period of time. Sessions focus on helping each woman discover what it is she wants in all areas of her life: relationships, jobs, finances, health, family, leisure, and spirituality. Through this partnership approach, clients learn to trust and rely on their own decision-making skills as well as to identify and access appropriate support networks.
In 2004, 23 women participated in a pilot program that assessed the effects of coaching on their lives. A remarkable 70% of the participants completed the program. All of the clients who completed the program reported making significant changes in their lives including: improving their health, choosing fulfilling relationships, and pursuing a career of their dreams. They also reported an increase in self esteem, self confidence, and feelings of empowerment.
While the coaches donate their time, the organization is seeking some funds to help pay for phone bills (coaches training and to defer the cost of the phone based sessions for the women --- anywhere from $15 to $40 per call) and to help advertise and recruit new coaches and women to participate.
Your donation helps to provide deserving women going through a hard time an opportunity for a fresh start toward success.
