Today, on this seventh anniversary of September 11th, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain will look beyond their differences and come together to honor the memory of those who lost their lives. They, along with 700 other leaders, will meet for a bipartisan event to share their vision for reigniting the spirit of volunteerism in America. The event is called Service Nation.

We at the Harnisch Foundation also want to share our vision and mission about volunteerism. In recent months you may have heard or read about the Gift of Coaching. It is our heartfelt desire to unite coaches, to ask them to look beyond their coaching affiliations and come together to celebrate the gifts that we bring to others through pro-bono coaching.

Coaches are already known for their generous giving. The Gift of Coaching is a new way to bring coaches who offer their services of pro-bono coaching to the people who might otherwise not be able to access coaching.

Today, please visit www.Gift-of-Coaching.com to read more and to register with us.

And we invite you – actually we implore you – to contact the coaches in your network and let them know about the Gift of Coaching. You can provide them with the link back to the Coaching Commons www.coachingcommons.org or give them the direct link to www.Gift-of-Coaching.com.

Together we will show people the difference coaching makes in the world.
