Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the findings of a Swiss survey on climate-related attitudes among coaches and professionals, and to explore how coaching can contribute to sustainability through mindset and cultural transformation. In response to the escalating climate crisis and its implications for individuals and organisations, the Swiss chapter of the Climate Coaching Alliance (CCA Switzerland) conducted a national survey in 2024 to explore how coaching can support sustainability-oriented transformation. The survey gathered insights from 75 participants- including coaches, sustainability professionals, and employees from various sectors – revealing a high level of concern for sustainability and desire to do something about it, but a significant misalignment between personal values and organisational priorities. The findings underscore the untapped potential of coaching as a systemic lever for change. Coaches are well-positioned to foster inner transformation, enabling individuals and organisations to align purpose, action, and impact. To conclude, there is a clear need for more tools, training, and support to empower coaches to address sustainability with confidence and care. This includes helping them reflect on their own roles, biases, and behaviours, so they can more effectively contribute to the broader societal transformation needed for a regenerative future.
