C4E is a Company, in the traditional sense of the word.
We are a group of like-minded people gathered around a particular purpose.
Our purpose is to bring the benefits of coaching to the world of education.
C4E is funded by public donations to the founder Martin Richards and by investments in technical support from Martin Richards AB, a Scandinavian training company, owned by Martin Richards. Martin retired from employment in 2018, and is using the residual capital in his old company to finance his dream - giving educators the experience of being coached and providing coaching support for educators.
C4E is based in Gothenburg, Sweden. People who are engaged in C4E are from all around the world: educators, teachers, headteachers, parents, professional coaches, language trainers, facilitators… and our hearts beat for the same reason, “We want to learn! We want to grow! We want to contribute to a better society. We want to be the ones who make a positive difference for others.”
C4E is home for coaches who offer their services to educators for free. C4E Founder Martin Richards spends his time contacting professional coaches and inviting them to set aside a number of hours each year to coach educators for free. In return, those coaches are promoted on social media for the excellent work that they do.
Countries and Languages
We collaborate across countries. Coaches come from all around the world, and offer many languages.
Coaches offer coaching in the following languages: English, Swedish, Spanish, French, Arabic... (more to come)
