PRO BONO COACHING
Claire Harbour MBA’92J offers every Thursday from now until the end of the lockdown is blocked off for pro bono coaching. This is for any alumni to use for one or two of their team who are most in need. It could also be for the alumnus/a him/herself. I will make 50 minute sessions available for this, and hope to serve any need where some support, some time, some opportunity to look at problems from a different angle might be useful. You just have to email me and explain whom you want me to coach, and give me one or two lines of background.
COACHING CIRCLE FOR WOMEN
Offered by Claire Harbour MBA’92J. Every Monday afternoon at 1800 CET, we will meet as a group. The format is a reflection on something important all together at the beginning, and then a couple of coachings for the two members who have the most pressing or relevant things on their mind. And at the end, an opportunity to reflect all together on how that coaching has shifted perspective. Open to all alumnae.
HAND CREAM FOR CAREGIVERS
Mathieu Balleron MBA’18J is the COO of CODAGE. The company heard the call from a nurse, Nadia B. on Twitter, asking for hand creams for hospitals. « Saturday 28th March, through our social networks, we offered to send our hand creams to French caregivers upon request. Thanks to our community, we have collected almost 40 requests. More than 2,500 hand creams have been sent throughout France. They have been delivered this week to hospitals, private clinics, retirement homes, private nurses & doctors. That was just for the first week, more to come! »
