Executive Coaching
Caroline M. Spira is a Certified Executive Coach and a member of the International Coach Federation and the Vancouver Island Coaches Association. She has coached budding entrepreneurs and individuals from nonprofits, associations, governments and small businesses.
Beginning in November 2009, Caroline is volunteering with CUSO-VSO. She is undertaking this 2-year placement with a local HIV-AIDS focused organization in Maroua, located in the Extreme North of Cameroon, acting as an organizational development advisor. Coaching in this context takes on a new meaning – a new challenge to share and learn from.
Caroline continues to support economic development endeavours in both local and regional settings as a consultant. She previously managed business retention and expansion services, community development, tourism as well as business attraction and recruitment initiatives on Vancouver Island, BC and in Washington State.
Prior to this, she worked at the World Bank Group in various assignments with teams dedicated to microfinance, small and medium enterprise development and political risk insurance.
In addition to her Royal Roads Executive Coaching Certificate, Caroline holds a Masters in Public Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management from George Mason University. She also completed several certificates programs in economic development, microfinance and community-based development.
