The workshop will feature a panel discussion and break-out groups, fostering a rich discourse on how to apply learning and professional growth in contexts that connect to individuals’ lives, communities, and beyond. We will delve into creating a sense of justice and belonging, empowering coaches to help their clients thrive from multiple perspectives of doing and being.
