Welcome, welcome to a very special episode of the Heads Together podcast. I'm your host, Jo Moats. Thank you for being here with me. On the 9th of October, there is a very special project taking place. It's called Coachathon 2024. It's organized by the Microloan Foundation, who do the most incredible work in terms of providing
help to women in Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, women who are living in extreme poverty. They help by providing micro loans for them to start a business and elevate themselves or begin to elevate themselves out of that extreme poverty. This is a cause is so close to my heart because I believe that as women, we can do something.
via microloan that is completely and directly impactful to women who haven't had the opportunities that we've had as business owners. Coachathon 2024 is a day, it's on the 9th of October, it's a day where hundreds of coaches donate their time.
And I'm talking all different coaches, health coaches, life coaches, business coaches, leadership coaches, relationship coaches, all different kinds of coaching is available. And in return for a donation of just 50 pounds, you can actually have a 45 minute session with a very experienced impactful coach who is going to make a difference in your life or your business.
And you get to play a part in supporting the work that the Microloan Foundation does. This is just an incredible event. It's a masterful piece of organization to get this to happen. And I think it's a real testament to Microloan Foundation that they pull this off. I think this is the fifth year of the Coachathon. It really is.

And then I want you to meet Michelle and Michelle is a fellow coach. And she is one of the many coaches who are going to take part in the Coachathon on the 9th. She's a coach that you could book time with. She's phenomenal. She's absolutely amazing. And she's coming on also.
