A Transformative Training for Coaches, Mentors and Helping Professionals Seeking to Expand Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice in the Coaching Community and Beyond
This highly engaging and interactive program has been created to explore how might we, as coaches, mentors, and leaders…
- Unleash the power and potential of the people we serve by understanding who they are as individuals, while recognizing the social, cultural, historical, and institutional realities that impact their lives?
- Bring greater levels of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice into our organizations?
Overview
The program is designed and facilitated by a team of passionate, committed practitioners who represent diverse identities and bring an interdisciplinary perspective. We create courageous spaces to explore a range of topics, from the individual and the interpersonal, to the cultural, institutional, and systemic manifestations of racism and oppression around the globe.
The program is appropriate for both new and experienced coaches, mentors, and support professionals who are committed to equity and inclusion, have a desire to do the hard work of becoming anti-racist, and seek to adopt a social justice lens.
Program Objectives
- Understand history, contexts, and key factors contributing to existing systems of inequity and injustice, and how they may impact our clients.
- Courageously examine our own assumptions and beliefs and those embedded in the cultures around us and explore what they mean for our clients and the relationship.
- Investigate organizational policies, procedures, systems, and structures through an Anti-Racist and Anti-Oppressive lens, both for ourselves and for our clients.
- Connect the work of the program to specific coaching, mentoring, and counseling competencies, and examine how an Anti-Racist and Anti-Oppressive perspective informs our process.
- Actively participate in the creation of truly equitable and inclusive cultures—in our services industries, in our organizations, and around the globe.
