Embracing Anti-Racism & Social Justice
A Transformational Training for Coaches Seeking to Expand Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Coaching Community and Beyond
Everywhere we look, we are faced with the stark realities of inequity and inequality. We in the coaching community have the potential to be voices of change; to shift how we understand ourselves, our clients, and the world around us, and to participate in dismantling systems of oppression that have inflicted so much pain, on so many, for so long.
Equity matters. Now more than ever.
From an organizational perspective, besides being the right thing to do, the data is clear: diverse and inclusive organizational cultures are more creative, innovative and collaborative, enjoy higher levels of employee alignment and engagement, and deliver a stronger bottom line.
From the human perspective, every human deserves the right to live a free and self-actualized life, yet that opportunity is often reserved for a privileged few. Rectifying those inequities requires us to fiercely interrogate our current reality as we seek to deconstruct the systems and structures that perpetuate the status quo.
As coaches, how do we bring our unique gifts and talents to this challenge?
This program has been created to support that process.
The J.E.D.I. Coaching program is appropriate for both new and experienced coaches who are passionate about equity and inclusion, have a desire to do the hard (and often messy) work of becoming anti-racist, and seek to adopt a social justice lens.
This highly engaging and interactive program has been created to explore how we, in the coaching community can be part of moving the needle towards a more just, inclusive and equitable world.
We begin with the recognition that as coaches...
...we are committed to uncovering and unleashing the power and potential of the people we serve, and to that end, we have a responsibility to understand the full scope of who they are: as individuals, and in the context of the social, cultural, historical, and institutional realities that impact their lives.
...we recognize the demographics of our industry are not reflective of the world around us, and it’s our job to use our power and privilege to bring greater levels of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice into the coaching industry.
...we stand at a critical crossroads, and if we have the courage to face the challenges of inequity head on, we can be part of creating a new world order that respects the right of every human to live with peace, prosperity, and self-determination.
