Four full scholarships · The first cohort is underway
Scholarships for Changemakers
On a Friday morning this past July, I sat on a rock at the edge of the Chattahoochee and watched the river go by. I had left my phone at home. In my journal that morning I wrote that I wanted to begin my coaching practice the way I intend to continue it: in service to people doing work that matters.
So here is what I am doing. I am giving away four complete coaching engagements. Not a sample session, not a taste. The full six-month Centered Leadership Partnership my private clients receive: twelve sessions of Presence-Based® Coaching, valued at $4,800. Free is the wrong word for this. These are scholarships, and they carry the full value of the seat.
They are for changemakers: people in a position to move the needle for their community or the world, on justice, equity, belonging, or repair. And somewhere along the way, something got stuck. The vision has not dimmed, but something has stopped moving, and you can feel it. Presence-Based® Coaching was built for exactly that moment. I have watched it unstick people and widen what they believed was possible, because it happened to me.
There is no catch, and I will tell you plainly what I get out of this. Twice a month I will get to sit with people who are trying to repair the world, which is my idea of good work.
Applications closed on Friday, September 4. Thank you to everyone who applied, and to everyone who sent this to someone who needed it. The four recipients were chosen in September and we began together before the end of the month, so I’m not taking new applications right now. If you found this page too late and something in it spoke to you, the conversation is still open at brycethomason.com/explore. There is no expectation or timeline there, just a place to start.
