Social Impact Leadership Prototype Program

A Free Leadership Coaching Opportunity for BIPOC Leaders

THE GALACTIC PROBLEM.

Did you know that over 75% of BIPOC leaders have never had access to a leadership coach, despite the proven benefits? At the same time, BIPOC leadership coaches represent a small fraction of the coaching world. The Messy Roots Social Impact Leadership Prototype Program is here to change that.

Come celebrate with us! We’ve launched our inaugural Prototype Program, a leadership coaching initiative designed for Social Impact Leaders—the changemakers working tirelessly to serve communities and create a better world.

Meet our incredible leaders below, and stay connected over the next three months as we harness the power of coaching to drive meaningful impact where it’s needed most!
