About this episode

Caroline Lenher discusses the Coaching for Causes initiative, which connects coaching with charitable donations, driven by her personal connection to brain cancer research.

🎯 What is Coaching for Causes? Coaches donate one coaching hour to anyone who donates $75 or more to a cause of their choice — 22 causes, 17 coaches, one powerful mission. 🧠 The cause closest to Caroline's heart: Her father survived GBM brain cancer for 13 years. Brain tumor research is one of the least funded cancer causes, now facing even more cuts. This drives everything. 🍽️ No one should go hungry: Susanne is donating her coaching hours to World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. World Central Kitchen with 100,000 meals served in Gaza, and first responders during the LA wildfires. 📣 From Broadway to social change: Caroline's career path — theater marketing → social cause communications → her own coaching business — has always had one through line: lift people up. 📅 May is the month — sign up now Mental Health Awareness Month + Brain Tumor Awareness Month + International Coaching Week = the perfect moment. Go to the site, pick your coach, pick your cause, donate and book.
