(http://www.coachapproachinc.org) I spent many years working in the nonprofit world, and always felt there was a need to support individuals who have chosen this profession.

Once I became familiar with coaching, (and I am not a coach) I knew this was an idea worth pursuing. So after writing the 501c3 and receiving a seed grant from the Harnisch Family Foundation, we were in business. Our mission is simple: To provide support to people in the helping profession through coaching.

We have just completed our second year. This past year 60 individuals were coached representing 42 nonprofits. The response from the nonprofit professionals has been tremendous. Evaluations are positive. We feel the trickle down effect is so significant that it will be ever changing to society!

So I pose this new idea, do you think that supporting our teachers through individual coaching could impact public education?
