Problem
Organizations and charities often struggle to provide affordable, high‑quality leadership coaching because traditional coaching services are expensive, require complex scheduling, and lack scalable matching between emerging leaders and qualified coaches. Emerging coaches also face a “experience paradox” – they need client hours to gain accreditation, but finding clients is difficult.
Solution
My Coaching Place operates a technology‑driven platform that matches emerging leaders with coaches who are working toward professional accreditation. The platform automates coach‑coachee matching, onboarding, and progress tracking, delivering low‑cost coaching packages that are up to 80 % cheaper than conventional rates. All interactions occur within a secure, GDPR‑compliant environment that includes integrated video conferencing, session logging for ICF/EMCC/AC credentials, and a centralized dashboard for organizations to monitor outcomes. For every corporate coaching engagement, the platform provides a free session to an underfunded charity, extending the impact of each paid session. Coaches receive session credits for pro‑bono work, which count as paid hours toward their accreditation, while organizations gain measurable leadership development for their talent.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mid‑size to large organisations seeking affordable leadership development for emerging talent, charities needing free professional coaching, and early‑career coaches pursuing accreditation who require structured client practice.
