Community Coaching Program

The Hornick School of Coaching (HSC) gives back through our Community Coaching Program (CCP) providing pro-bono coaching to help individuals reach their personal and professional goals. 

The community coaching program aims to give back to those who give to their community. The CCP cultivates a Community of Kindness, where individual growth contributes to stronger, more supportive communities. 

That is why anyone involved in: non-profits, civic organizations, schools, and small businesses (and more just ask!) are given priority seats. 

The program has benefited people across a variety of roles and industries. Participants report increased clarity, confidence, and motivation, helping them move forward in meaningful ways in both their work and personal lives. 

What Coaching Is (and Isn’t)

Coaching is a guided conversation that helps you untangle and understand your thoughts, clarify your goals, identify what’s getting in the way, and take meaningful steps toward what matters most.

What to expect 

--Active listening to help untangle messy thoughts so you can see things more clearly

--Thoughtful questions and engaged responses that help you process what you’re saying and hear it from a new perspective

--A non-judgmental space to explore competing thoughts and consider different options

--Reflective insights that gently challenge the stories you tell yourself about what’s possible

--Support noticing patterns in how you think, choose, behave, and respond

--Exploring whether your actions are in line with your goals, and identifying next steps in the direction that feel right for you

Unlike therapy, mentoring or consulting, coaching doesn't rely on the coach's answers or solutions. 

Coaching is based on the belief that you already have what you need inside you—the coach's role is to help you access it.

What People Work On in Coaching

Coaching is designed to empower participants to make progress on the areas that matter most to them. Participants choose the focus of their coaching.
