The Power of Enoughness
Monday September 28th 1:30-3:30pm with Reva Patwardhan and Ei Ei Samai
As coaches, we help leaders learn to name and claim their priorities, so they can make big impacts, avoid burnout, and continue to engage, resile, and grow over the long haul. In this session we will share 3 challenges we've encountered in that work, along with resources we've developed in response. The 3 challenges are 1) individual mindsets of scarcity that say no one and nothing is ever enough, 2) cultures and systems within the nonprofit sector that reinforce those mindsets of ""never enough"", and 3) power imbalances that make it harder for individuals to create change.
In this interactive session, participants can expect to receive:
A dialogue unpacking how scarcity mindsets relate to the causes we serve and the organizations we work with
Tools for adopting a systems lens to spot environmental sources of scarcity mindset, so we avoid getting co-opted by it, and can find freedom from it
Tools for reclaiming our sense of personal authority to declare ""enough"" in the face of power imbalances
Support for increasing self-awareness about our individual ways of internalizing and reinforcing a scarcity mindset
The Journey to Coach - Call to Reflection & Action
Thursday October 1st 10am-12pm with Linda Gonzalez and Kelly Robinson
This presentation considers the experiences, opportunities, and responsibilities of coaches of color, organizations, and funders to collaboratively leverage our combined power and influence: 1. To increase access to professional coaching for individuals at all organizational levels, and 2. To co-design and promote culturally congruent individual and collective reflective practices for coaches of color to sustain a healthy and thriving practice amid ongoing system inequities.
In this interactive session, participants can expect to receive:
Practice frameworks for coach post-session reflection and continuous practice improvements including ethics and standards of practice
Discussion on the healing journey as coach-warriors
Reflection on continuous improvement including metrics that cover racial and gender identity
A case for more racial equity in the coaching field including analysis of power and funding dynamics and demographics of practitioners
Coaching in the Moment of Global Unrest: Cultivating Sustainable Self Care
Pathways to Equitable Access & Healing Practice
Monday October 5th 2-4pm with SueAnn Freeman, Jessica Li, and Raynelle Rino
This interactive dialogue will ground participants in the moment and work to understand the current landscape of sustainable self care and its barriers from a cultural and historical lens. Leaders are holding the weight of responsibility for their communities in rapidly changing, uncertain environments which in many cases perpetuate the tensions of racial unrest. Coaches can play a critical role in holding much-needed healing space for leaders participating in change. In this session we will discuss what ""radical community care"" and mutual accountability could look as we create a new future.
In this interactive session, participants can expect to receive:
How to listen for and identify cultural differences that impact individuals, teams, and communities ability to initiate and sustain self care
Ways to explore, develop, and implement new and culturally sustainable methods to self care and community care opportunities
Emergency/crisis self-care practices
How coaching can break the stigma of healing, sustainable self care, and engage with a decolonized or radical self care approach to sustainable self care
An understanding that BIPOC communities have rich self-care practices that span many generations
