We believe that coaching has the capacity to help individuals and organisations far beyond those who have traditionally been able to access it.
For many people, the cost of coaching can present a significant barrier to adoption.
At the same time, we know that coaches relish the opportunity to do meaningful work that makes an impact.
That’s why we partner with forward-thinking organisations to connect our passionate community of coaches to coaching opportunities both within the organisations and with the client groups they serve.
Our partnerships aim to create triple-win opportunities in which Animas coaches build their coaching experience, organisations access a large pool of talented coaches, and their client groups receive quality coaching.
Whilst some of these projects offer fees to the coaches, in most cases the coaching is provided entirely free of charge through the passionate desire of our coaches to make a difference. Animas does not receive any financial benefit from these partnerships.
Our partnerships change over time, but right now, here are the partners we are working with.
