A series of structured discussions to achieve defined goals

We use a mix of coaching and mentoring to help professionals working in NGOs enhance their personal and professional development:

  • Coaching uses a series of probing questions to help you find answers.
  • Mentoring is about offering points of view and suggestions based on our own experiences.

A typical relationship is a series of 6 one-hour individual or peer group sessions every 2-3 weeks, with a follow-up session three to six months later.

Step 1: Understand Your Needs

We start with a free initial discussion to understand your needs and discuss how LeaderLy can help.

Step 2: Set Objectives

A first session will center around defining your priorities and objectives for our work together.

Step 3: Exploration

Each session offers a safe space for personal exploration, where we uncover strengths, examine beliefs and core values, identify decision-making patterns and talk about potential barriers that may be holding you back.

Step 4: Define Actions

Each session will conclude with identifying clear action steps to move you closer to your goals.

Pro Bono Coaching

We believe that leadership with purpose has the power to create lasting positive change. That’s why, in partnership with André Hoffmann and our network of 20 experienced coaches, we have expanded our services to include pro bono coaching and mentoring for certain organisations and individuals dedicated to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

What our clients say about us

Working with Lynda, I’ve reached my objectives within a few months through one-on-one coaching sessions. I was able to improve my personal and professional relationships and identify a new mental framework for relationships, where I can express my emotions in a better way. Her kindness and understanding helped my internal growth but still kept me very accountable. Our sessions were productive and efficiently run, even with a major time zone difference.

April Sirait Director, Econusa

I was passing through an important transition in my professional environment. Lynda’s coaching supported me in this important moment by embarking on a guided self-discovery path. At the end of my coaching, I felt more empowered and centred on the path I aim for in my professional career.

Anna Luiza Behrens Partners for a New Economy

My sessions with Lynda were incredibly grounding and empowering. From the outset, she structured the coaching process in a way that aligned perfectly with my hopes and needs; I felt guided and supported in each step of discernment, from articulating my strengths and areas of growth to identifying action items. Throughout my time with her, she offered insightful perspective and asked valuable questions that have shaped how I approach career considerations. I am endlessly grateful for this experience!

Claire Doyle student

The individual coaching sessions were exactly what I needed as I led my organization from start-up to being more established. Lynda helped me build on my existing leadership skills, identify where and how I needed to grow so I could take meaningful action in this next phase of our growth. Thank you so much!

Eva Zabey CEO, Business for Nature

I always look forward to my conversations with Lynda and fellow leaders. Lynda is able to strike a unique balance of careful listening with sharing her wealth of experience and ideas. I like her approach using peers, I find it really valuable to connect with other leaders outside of my work and to focus on their situations always leaves me with valuable takeaways and new perspectives. I am grateful for this forum and will wholeheartedly recommend it to other leaders.

Minna Epps Head, IUCN Ocean, Canter for Conservation Action

Receiving coaching from Lynda Mansson from LeaderLy was a rich learning experience. With listening, self-reflection, and empathy at its core, the sessions provided meaningful approaches to becoming a better colleague/manager/leader.

Kartik Chandramouli Senior Digital Editor, Mongabay-India

Lynda was always very responsive, well-organized, prepared, and on time. She was encouraging me a lot in many ways. I left the sessions with concrete tasks and ideas for improvement. And I reached all my goals! What I appreciated a lot where the moments, when Lynda challenged me, asked me to take a step back and look at myself from a more distant perspective. This and centering/ rooting practices is something I will keep doing in the future.

Lenka Kepkova

It has been an enriching experience to have Lynda as a coach. Her guidance has helped me reinforce my self-confidence and acquire tools that make my job as a manager smoother. Undoubtedly a support that I have been very fortunate to have.

Lucia Torres Manager, Mongabay

I was a first time CEO when I started working with Lynda. The most valuable part of the experience for me was to have someone to soundboard with, run scenarios by and practice some of the crucial conversations I needed to have with a variety of stakeholders. It is harder to find trusted wise counsel when at the top, and leveraging a coach to navigate that was one of the best professional decisions I made.
