Sustainability Network and Raissa Marks bring you an opportunity to join an online leadership coaching program with fellow ENGO leaders in the fall of 2026.

One-on-one leadership coaching is a personalized, thought-provoking partnership between you and your coach that generates insights and clarity for you. It can lead to significant personal and professional growth.

Group coaching blends 1-on-1 coaching with guided discussion and uses the power of the group mind to amplify learning and growth. It involves a small group of individuals who come together as a supportive peer group for a series of sessions facilitated by a professional coach.

The first session will include introductions, program goals and logistics, themes and discussion topics, and group guidelines. Subsequent sessions will involve check-in questions, a group coaching on a specific theme or topic, and reflection questions. Themes/topics will be determined based on participants’ needs. The last session will be focused on reflection, learnings, and next steps.

Participants will also have access to a 1-on-1 coaching session with Raissa.

This program is designed for Executive Directors of small-to-medium-sized environmental ENGOs (those with fewer than 25 employees) in Canada. Ideally, the cohort will be made up of approximately eight individuals from different types of organizations, at different points in their career path, and from different demographic groups (e.g., gender & gender identity, ethnicity, region, etc.). The program will run in English.

Testimonials

(from our previous cohort)

Erica Ellis, Co-Executive Director of Environmental Youth Alliance

"I highly recommend this group coaching program. The combination of accessing high-quality, relevant coaching paired with building relationships and learning from peers was an invaluable experience. Raissa is a fantastic coach who cultivated a wonderfully vulnerable and supportive space to connect, reflect, and grow. It was a consistent highlight in my calendar and has directly supported me in making positive changes in my work."

Sarah McNeil, Executive Director, CPAWS-BC

"Raissa asks questions and encourages reflection in a way that builds trust, not just between coach and client but also across the cohort. Participating in this program helped me challenge assumptions, learn to trust my instincts, and created a cohort of fellow leaders that I know I will learn from and with well beyond the duration of the program."
