Why the applicant thinks we should fund this project

Many EA organizations would be substantially more likely to succeed if they had access to high-quality coaching on practical business skills in areas such as leadership, management and recruitment. I aim to test a scalable solution to that problem. This project has a relatively good chance of success and little risk of causing harm.

Here's the mechanism by which the applicant expects their project will achieve positive outcomes.

• Dedicated attention from an expert coach is the most effective way of developing practical business skills

• Problems that stop EA orgs growing successfully will be avoided because leadership teams are better equipped and can troubleshoot problems as they arise with an experienced coach

• Group coaching workshops with 10 attendees each, a set agenda, a centralized client management person and an online client portal that automates much of the admin would allow this to be offered at scale to many EA organizations quickly

• To ensure the best coaching outcomes we would: use coaches with backgrounds either in senior leadership positions or who have grown successful businesses themselves; a focus on accountability and implementation; and coaching on fears, identity and mindset shifts as well as direct skills education.

How much funding are they requesting?
