Pro Bono Program
by Tara West

If you wish to express your interest in entering the Pro Bono Program, please carefully read this page in its entirety and complete the form at the end.

I am currently in the process of putting together a Pro Bono Program at Aussie Résumés, where I’ll personally be offering pro-bono coaching to select individuals who are committed to taking action and achieving their goals. 

The Inaugural Pro Bono Program requires a 3-month commitment on your behalf, comprising 1-hour weekly telephone coaching sessions for a period of 12 weeks (3 months). (However, if you need a week off that's fine!) You also get unlimited email support during this period. 

This particular style of coaching (i.e. 4 x 1 hour sessions each month for 3 months + ongoing support + other tools) is typically valued at $450 per month - but as part of the Pro Bono Program you receive the coaching free of charge. 

My normal Coaching Service will have different fee structures and programs to suit varying needs.

Does Telephone Coaching Work?

• Yes it does.  Telephone coaching is a powerful method where you stay focused and achieve a great deal in 60 minutes. Most of the world's leading and well respected coaches coach by telephone.

Does it matter where I am located?

• No. I offer world-wide coaching.

Does it have to be career coaching?

• No it doesn't have to centre around career coaching. I believe coaching should centre around the "whole" of a person.  Career makes up one aspect of that whole.

What is Coaching?

• “A coach is an advocate, a sounding board, a cheerleader, an accountability partner, a truth teller, and a supporter.” (Ref: ICA CPP Program FC101.) 

• Coaching is a partnership that helps you shape your vision and goals, define your priorities, and empowers and encourages you in mapping your course and charting your way through the seas.

• It’s all about YOU – the unique individual that you are. 

• It’s about actively listening to YOU, helping you stay focused and on track. 

• And yes, also self discovery that allows you to develop and discover who you are, your dreams and aspirations.

What Coaching Isn’t:

• Coaching isn't therapy, counselling or mentoring. Coaching focuses on your strengths, not weaknesses, and supports you in achieving your goals and dreams.

I’m in the throes of putting together a Pro Bono Program. You’ll have to bear with me as I haven’t put together all the paperwork or the finer details as yet (stay turned for that one!).  This will include such matters as my commitment to you and what you can expect from me as a coach, as well as what I expect from you, as a client.

However, I’m keen to start the Program in June and I’m looking for two clients who are committed to making a difference in their life and being a part of the Inaugural Pro Bono Program. 

Do you want to be challenged?  Get out of your comfort zone?  Have thought-provoking questions thrown at you?  Do you want to stretch yourself?  Do you want to reach out and touch the stars?

If you want to be challenged, then take the first step by completing a brief expression of interest.

Why fill out this form?

• Provides me with an understanding of why you want to be a part of the Pro Bono Program.
• Provides me with your contact details for an INTRODUCTION SESSION.  An introduction session is a requirement before coaching begins.

What is an Introduction Session?

• This presents us with the opportunity of getting to know each other - to see if I am a good fit for you and whether I am the right coach to help you with your goals. 
• It also gives you the opportunity to discover what coaching is and whether coaching is right for you.
• It's really important there's a connection between me, the coach, and you, the coachee.  The first 2 people that connect with me and wish to commit to the program will be part of the Inaugural Pro Bono Program.

Does this mean that by filling out the form I will automatically be entitled to free coaching?

• No, it doesn't. It's a chance for me to collect some initial information about you prior to our Introduction Session.  Furthermore, the Introduction Session does not guarantee a place in the Pro Bono Program. 
• Please remember, I only have 2 initial bookings in the Inaugural Pro Bono Program. Once I have received enough expressions of interest I will be shutting down this form and it will re-open when there is another available booking for the Pro Bono Program. 
• Click here to register your interest in my Coaching Service that will be charged at a fee (I will be offering this coaching service within the next couple of months - keep an eye on the website for details).

Ready to take the next step?  Please complete your expression of interest. 

Don't wait! Once a small number of expressions of interest have been received I will need to shut down this form to conduct my preliminary Introduction Sessions. The first 2 people who connect with me, as a coach, and are committed, will embark on the Inaugural Pro Bono program. This form will re-open when there is another available booking for the Pro Bono Program.

NOTE: I HAVE SHUT THE DOWN THE FORM FOR THE TIME BEING AS I CONDUCT MY INTRO SESSIONS WITH THE PEOPLE WHO REGISTERED THEIR INTEREST.

PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PAGE AS IT WILL BE CHANGED TO PROVIDE MORE INFO ABOUT THE PRO BONO PROGRAM, ALONG WITH A FORM TO EXPRESS YOUR INTEREST IN FUTURE OPENINGS AVAILABLE FOR THE PRO BONO COACHING.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
