Our Approach: Three Stages.

At the heart of our consulting approach is Proximate Circles – a philosophy rooted in the principles of closeness in relationships and a holistic, iterative approach to changemaking. We believe that true solutions require a deep understanding of the challenge, purpose-driven leadership, accountability, and continuous refinement. Our approach can be summarized in three stages:

1

Map.

We help you understand the complex ecosystem surrounding your challenges and recognize the network needed for effective solutions.

2

Model.

We assist in determining and designing your approach, ensuring it aligns with your values and goals.

3

Move.

We guide you as you take action, offering insights into solutions, goals, and evidence-based strategies.

Why Proximate Coaching?.

Life is essentially a navigation of a series of interconnected Proximate Circles. Our coaching approach therefore has three key objectives:

Trust and Loyalty.

Our commitment to trust, wisdom, and loyalty ensures that your coaching journey is guided by experienced hands and minds invested in your success.

Growth and Harmony.

We believe in fostering personal and organizational growth within your Proximate Circles and harmonizing your efforts for greater impact.

Clarity and Warmth.

Our Proximate Circles philosophy brings clarity and warmth to our coaching approach, ensuring you see the path ahead and feel supported at every step.

Our Unique Model.

Proximate Consulting operates as a “brokerage” for a global network of freelance, independent consultants, each specializing in various aspects of development, including economics, technology, climate change, healthcare, education, and more.

Proximate Circle Consultants.

These consultants form the heart of our organization, and we provide them with an overarching structure, the Proximate Circles framework, and a range of dedicated support services. This way, they can focus, with energy, and without distraction on helping you unlock the power of your Proximate Circles.

Proximate Circle Teams.

We assemble and organize our consultants into global-local interdisciplinary teams that can address specific client challenges. These teams operate in Proximate Circles of Collaboration, ensuring that diverse perspectives are always considered as they strive to meet client needs. Our consultants therefore model the changemaking philosophy and approaches we encourage our clients to adopt.

Customized Solutions.

We work closely with our clients to understand their unique needs, challenges, and goals. We then tailor our Proximate Circles solutions to address these specific issues with precision, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Implementation Support.

Beyond strategy, we provide hands-on support to implement the recommended solutions. Based on client need, our consultants can remain engaged throughout the execution process to ensure results.

Professional Development.

We offer capacity building, systems improvement, and institution strengthening programs to help our clients amplify their internal capacity to adopt and deploy the Proximate Circles philosophy to problem solving and changemaking.
