Who are the contributors involved?

The first ever documentary on coaching: How come no one is addressing the two sides of the coin?

As a coach, you know the impact that being able to bring out the best in others can have. You know what it can do for an organization. But how much do you really know about the coaching industry? What are not just trends but undercurrents and how come? What do your colleagues struggle with in their practice and business? Have you ever wondered if there’s anything else that we can do to make coaching even more powerful as a growth tool?


With the documentary on The Light and Shadow of Coaching, you’ll not only have an opportunity to gain some in-depth understanding about the coaching industry, but you’ll get to improve your own coaching skills and contribute to an awesome social impact cause through coaching at the same time!


The documentary explores the latest coaching trends. Most importantly, it explores what drives those trends, unfolds some additional benefits and unaddressed limitations of coaching – in organizational and leadership as well as new work settings and beyond.

This documentary received the Ellen Shub Coaching for Social Good Award from Institute of Coaching, McLean Hospital, a Harvard Affiliate.

This is purely a non-for-profit venture... Your donations will be used to fund a program that will train 66,000 women in Kenya to be coaches.

In a collaborative effort with MaMa Organization, our aim is to set up a comprehensive and multi-level coach training program for women to support them in becoming more entrepreneurial in their communities.


This social impact project is about women’s longevity in Kenya. It is about driving social impact through coaching and training women to be coaches themselves. This is a unique framework we offer for how to democratize coaching. With your donations, we will put in place the coach training that is required to reach roughly 66,000 women – women at MaMa who want to engage in life more sustainably and in a more dignified way than they feel they are now.

  • Access to The Light and Shadow of Coaching Documentary
