题目内容:
Founder Lia Grimanis herself experienced homelessness as a teen growing up in Toronto. She got the idea for Up With Women when she received career coaching while working for a teel company. Unlike consultation, where clients work through issues from their pasts, coaching is about the future.
She realized that women who really needed professional development help from a coach could never actually afford it. “All of our clients are living below the poverty line, but some coaches are charging $350 to $600 an hour.” she says.
Up With Women matches participants with certificated career coaches who provide one-on-one sessions twice a month for one year. The strategy is working. So far, the organization has helped more than 400 women. In the 2016-2017 group, roughly 70 percent of them saw an increase in their income, On average, they were making S 12, 383 more per year than women still on the organization’s waiting list. While it’s harder to measure confidence levels. Grimanis sees an increase there, too. And those difficult to quantify results can be the most powerful.
Harmeet Toor, Up With Women’s director of operations and programs, was once a client herself. For Toor, one of the most powerful parts of her coaching experience was learning to shed the idea that she should limit her goals.
Five months into Toor’s coaching sessions. she 'd found a place to live. By the eight-month mark, she 'd landed a job at a doctor’s office. And now she’s figuring out how to help others like Smith, who was finally able to start a law school in 2018.
“I owe it to Up With Women for helping me get here,” Smith says. “Of course, I have the drive and the determination, but I wouldn’t be in the law school if I didn’t have that coaching.”
