Applications are open for limited spots, with the condition that recipients actively use the service.", "body_md": "*TL;DR: Offering you free coaching in my app. We have a pro bono program w/ free spots for folks doing impact work. A real human coach doing daily check-ins plus a monthly video call. You can apply here: *\n\nHey I'm Joel. My co-founder Simon Newstead (active in the impact community) and I started as accountability buddies, and realised how much it helped having someone actually trained in holding us accountable so we ended up building GoalsWon around that idea.\n\nWe have a pro bono program (for every paying client we take on, we open a free spot for someone in the high-impact community, ie the paid side exists to fund the giving-back side) and over the years we've coached hundreds of people in AI safety, animal welfare, and global health and we're opening more spots now that's why I'm sharing it here.\n\nHow it works: you get a real human coach (not a bot!) doing daily check-ins on your goals (work or personal), plus a monthly video call.\n\nWe know a lot of high-impact work fails at follow-through and not strategy, so we're here to help with the consistent accountability part so it **improves your output and keep burnout away** as you do all the important work you do.\n\nOur only ask: if you sign up, **actually use it**. Spots are *limited* and we want them going to people who'll show up and make the most of it.\n\nApply and/or read more about it in: [https://www.goalswon.com/giving-back](https://www.goalswon.com/giving-back) *(scroll to the \" Apply for a free slot\" white box at the bottom.*\n\nIf you have any questions, happy to answer anything in the comments!", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/free-human-coaching-for-high-impact-folks", "canonical_source": "https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/E3Rf4iuFqChyzRikY/free-human-coaching-for-high-impact-folks", "published_at": "2026-06-12 14:02:54+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-12 14:12:25.862856+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-safety"], "entities": ["Joel", "Simon Newstead", "GoalsWon"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/free-human-coaching-for-high-impact-folks", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/free-human-coaching-for-high-impact-folks.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/free-human-coaching-for-high-impact-folks.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/free-human-coaching-for-high-impact-folks.jsonld"}}
