Become a For Impact Coach. Build a Lifestyle Business that Changes the World.

Change the World.
Be a For Impact Coach.
A For Impact Coach is a partner who builds his or her own coaching business using the For Impact frameworks and processes. Coaches leverage the 25+ years of Suddes Group experience and $2Billion+ raised. Coaches also leverage their own professional network using strategies Tom and Nick have perfected with other partners and coaches.
The result is your own lifestyle business (or lifestyle social enterprise) that’s saving lives, changing lives and impacting lives with the backing of an international brand and network.
The story:
The Suddes Group was founded in 1983 to run campaigns for organizations. It quickly grew to be one of the premier consulting companies in the world – at one time employing some 50 consultants and working in every sector. Known for its no-nonsense, sales approach to fundraising, The Suddes Group ran over 300 successful campaign efforts.
In 2001 The Suddes Group launched For Impact. The aim of this new initiative was to provide publications, training and coaching around the frameworks The Suddes Group was using in the field.
In 2008 For Impact piloted the idea of field coaches. Tom and Nick handpicked five individuals – each with a background in sales and business leadership – each making the move from success to significance. For Impact teamed with these individuals to help each design and start their own coaching businesses using the For Impact banner, materials and processes.
Each enjoys a lifestyle business that allows them to work from home or on the road – focusing on one to five organizations each month. Each of the For Impact Partners also leads workshops in his or her area or sector to share the For Impact Point of View. They find rejuvenation and continued personal growth through their work and leadership.
More about The For Impact Coaching Profile:
- Has a personal mission to make a big impact and change the world.
- Wants to run and live a lifestyle business (the model for which is already created) and control his or her own client load and income.
- Has a ‘life entrepreneur’ attitude.
- Is a ‘coach’ vs. a ‘consultant’. Note: Tom Suddes is the boxing coach at Notre Dame. This is setup for COACHES!
- Has a business or sales background.
- Is highly networked.
- Enjoys leading a room through the For Impact Experience (our non-workshop)
- Has a strong passion for life and adventure. We have the boxing coach, a tri-athlete, two mountain bikers, an avid fisherman and a marathoner. It’s a pretty high-energy team you would be a part of.
- Special note: Based on the results of our pilot coaches, For Impact coaches should be in the position to allow 4-6 months (avg) before client load / cash flow picks up.
Sound Interesting? What do do…
Our goal in 2010 is to find 10 coaches that represent a strong fit (location, interest, background, purpose, etc). We want to begin working with those coaches to help them get their businesses off the ground before 2011.
