The Women's Impact Alliance Women are the Answer
When women lead, the world gets better — for Everyone.

The Women’s Impact Alliance (formerly The Coaching Fellowship) is the place for women in social and environmental change to advance their leadership and impact in the world. More than 1,500 women from 80+ countries have been supported by our generous donors and a worldwide volunteer network of 220+ executive leadership coaches. Now, we’re taking a big step next on our journey to advance and accelerate the impact women in social change make – we are becoming The Women's Impact Alliance. We’re the same organization with the same values and people doing the same important work, providing leadership development, coaching, and access to network to both high potential and game-changing women leaders of impact. With our new name comes new energy and new possibilities as we realize our mission to accelerate women leaders into positions of power and influence so that decisions are made in the interests of humanity and the planet resulting in a just, sustainable and peaceful world.

🌍 Behind every bold leader doing the work of social and environmental change, there’s often someone in her corner helping her see the next step clearly.

That’s what our coaching program is all about. If you’re a changemaker ready to be paired with a leadership coach who gets your mission, our global directory connects you with the right match from our network of 250+ volunteer executive coaches across 30+ countries, and it’s one of the many reasons we’re so proud of our new website.

✨ If you’re a professional coach looking to put your expertise towards something bigger, this is your invitation. Join a community of coaches giving their time pro bono, gaining ICF hours along the way, while helping shape a more just and sustainable world for the women leading it.

💫 Explore the coaching directory, find your match, or apply to volunteer, all on our brand new site using the link in our bio.

🎥 Some nights are better shown than told.

On September 24th WIA Connect in Nairobi reminded us why we do this work. Hosted by our project manager Emily Wasuna, the evening created space for honesty, the kind that doesn’t usually make it into a boardroom or a panel discussion. By the end of the night, women who’d never met were finding pieces of themselves in each other’s stories.

Moments like these are proof that connection doesn’t need an agenda, just a room full of women willing to be real with each other.

💜 Follow along with our social media manager Shiro Gicharu as she takes you inside the night.

There’s nothing like ringing in Fall with a fresh new look. And at WIA, we’re doing that by rolling out our new website!

Over the past year, Board Member Athena Katsaros has teamed up with our Graphic Designer Adila and Communications Manager Mena Ayazi, alongside three incredible web developer volunteers Ranga Sai Kumar, Bhanu Chandra Kiran Reddy, and Deeksha Reddy Chikoti to build a fresh space for our community of inspiring women around the globe.

💫 We wanted a site that was easy to navigate, properly showcased the women we work with, and celebrated their bold work through bold color and a space that reflects the high quality we’re consistently inspired by from our coaches and catalysts worldwide.

✨ Take a browse, share it with a friend, and tell us what you think in the comments. Cheers to a fresh chapter!
