Description:
In this presentation, coaches will learn how to make all clients feel welcome and accepted.
Coaches learn to identify and help clients unleash their unique strengths through an appreciative, culturally relevant lens. Core ICF competencies are integrated with diversity, equity, and inclusion principles to cultivate belonging.
Participants gain tools to mitigate biases, uphold ethical practices, and facilitate growth through the DEI framework created by Dr. Kiki Ramsey called Positively Diverse Leadership.
The ultimate goal is maximizing human potential in coaching through diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. | | On May 14th, ICF MN had the opportunity to share an update on our pro bono coaching partnership - Giving WoMN at their annual meeting.
