Our Contribution
Actively contributing: some ways in which we give back.
Pro bono provision of our services has always been part of how we add social value for our communities.
Increasingly over the last 10 years Saima has served on Committees and Boards as a trusted presence in response to how pro bono coaching can be of service to promoting equity and social change globally. She regularly speaks at coaching communities internationally and continues to inspire the next generation of coaches to be in service of humanity and our planet.
In response to Covid-19, we provided pro bono coaching for those engaged in the frontline key worker response with Saima delivering a series of sessions, some of which were under the Coaching for Covid programme for the NHS.
Change Advantage has always made space to support individuals who sometimes find themselves in circumstances unable to respond to life crises and limited in the resources at their disposal. By their very nature, these situations are highly sensitive, confidential and outside of a corporate context; non-disclosure here is an imperative.
Our commitment to transform industry and societal progress for sustainable growth is core to our purpose and therefore goes beyond our business portfolio, it informs all our paid and volunteering work.
