Let’s say the quiet part out loud: organizers are supposed to know everything. We’re not allowed to ask for help.
Do you ever wish there was someone who could just brainstorm with you? Or think out loud?
There is. That person is a coach.
Working with an organizing strategy coach is an opportunity to think out loud with someone with deep organizing and campaign experience, but is outside the dynamics of your organization.
From tips on conducting effective one-on-one meetings to running high-level campaigns to managing organizing staff, working with a strategic organizing coach provides professional development that can help organizers grow into leaders.
More specifically, it could look like:
“Through my coaching experience with Mira, I gained valuable insights and perspective from someone both ‘outside’ my organization, and ‘in the know’ as an organizer. Mira was an effective and engaging thought partner, and our conversations helped me test and develop my strategic thinking about the future of my organizing program.”
— Ben Hanna,
Director of Local Strategies, Community Change
“Mira was enlightening and encouraging. I understand better what is expected of me as an organizer. The strategies Mira showed us how to develop for organizing will help us build our power structures and bases!”
