Description:
Have you been wondering how to navigate the shifting landscape of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice and Belonging (DEIJB) thoughtfully and ethically?
How can we tackle these issues in today's political climate? Furthermore, we coaches are being asked to hold space for clients experiencing stress, moral injury, and deep uncertainty about safety, belonging, and responsibility—how do we do this when we often carry these same burdens ourselves?
ICF Minnesota has arranged with Coaching for Social Justice to facilitate this timely and important Dialogue. CSJ is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to equipping coaches to be as effective as possible when working with clients on DEIB and social identity issues.
During plenary and breakout sessions, CSJ’s highly trained coaching supervisors will provide a safe, supportive space for the healthy release of emotions, sharing your coaching-room experiences, exploring challenges, and exchanging practices for social-justice-informed coaching.
Learn about the dilemmas and ethical issues coaches face and how they are being resolved.
Find answers to a question many coaches ask: ‘Do I continue doing the work but change the way I talk about DEIB with my clients and their sponsors?’
The session will not be recorded to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
