The Event
2020 will be long remembered as the year the world experienced 3-concurrent challenges, yet collectively, providing a context for major transformation: Covid-19; disruption to global economic systems; wide-range social protest, in part, triggered by death of George Floyd while in police custody because of an officer pinning him to the ground with a knee until the victim lost consciousness and then his life.
This global pandemic has amplified a cold hard truth, existing for decades, if not centuries; that is, we cannot realize social justice without addressing injustice; the need for antiracism is rooted in racism; and true equity is achieved only by dismantling the very systems that sustain inequity. The current context naturally raises important questions for coaching researchers, educators, and practitioners alike, such as:
-
What is the coaching industry’s response to the dynamics of power, rank, and privilege that shape our worldview and impact our daily interactions with clients, colleagues, and friends?
This interactive session will invite the audience to respond to a series of reflective prompts where each will be able to connect their personal experience with the topics explored.
Session Objectives
During the session attendees will focus on the following core objectives:
-
Context: Name and describe drivers and supporting research that provides a solid rationale for developing an antiracism capacity in coaching educators, coaching researchers, coaches, and professional associations
-
Content: List and explain the range of explicit and implicit biases that influence coaching interactions; bring a level of conceptual clarity related to social justice, antiracism, and equity to your coaching education, research, and/or professional practice
-
Conduct: Make a personal commitment to develop a range of micro-interventions to your coaching education, research, and/or professional practice with the aim of confronting, eradicating, and/or ameliorating racism in the coaching profession
