Accessing Financial Support

aka Convince your Boss to pay for this

This is a Professional Development (PD) opportunity. While you may feel like this is ​something you personally want to do, your organization will benefit from the ​wisdom, growth, and wellness you learn to embody over the course of the six ​months. We want to empower you to ask your organization to fund this opportunity.

Here is some data and talking points to convince your boss to invest in you:

• According to the Center for Effective Philanthropy, the number one and ongoing ​concern across the social impact sector is staff burnout. Knowing that employee ​burnout has severe impacts on an organization’s mission, it's critical for social ​impact leaders to find remedies in managing occupational stress while also ​leading others out of their burnout cycles. This coaching opportunity can provide ​leaders with the power and resources to lead in more restorative, value-driven, ​and sustainable ways.
  

• Research from BetterUp shows that employees who receive personalized ​coaching are more likely to develop an internal “resiliency buffer,” which comes ​in clutch during times of tumult and change. In addition to resilience, coached ​individuals are more likely to experience a significant edge in other important ​areas like productivity, optimism, and life satisfaction.
  

We know that conflict, turnover, and burnout are not only taxing to individuals... but ​they are financially expensive for organizations. An immersive opportunity like this ​will help to reduce the physical, mental and emotional stress that many leaders are ​facing, which in turn helps organizations run more efficiently. The value is ​incredible. We recommend exploring if your employer is willing and able to pay for ​this growth opportunity. Often organizations say they want to invest in their people ​and simply need to be asked to make an actual financial commitment. If you need ​more support in making the ask, then please use this professional development ​playbook that was created by one of our coaches.
