Coaches Without Borders pairs U.S.-based professional coaches with Africa-based professionals in the non-profit field.
It began as an idea discussed during a Presence Based Coaching retreat with Doug Silsbee in Asheville, NC. One of the coaches attending, Deb Denis, carried the idea forward and shared it with her coaching colleague Heidrun Kippenberger, in Accra, Ghana.
Heidrun and Deb had been working together for over a year via Skype and realized the format could work as a way to link U.S.-based professional coaches with clients in the non-profit sector in Africa. Thus Coaches Without Borders started to form.
