Description:
Do you find yourself coaching people who are different from you? Perhaps they are of different age, race, gender, or sexual orientation? As coaches, we pride ourselves on asking questions and listening so being different shouldn’t matter, right? Well, not exactly. We are still human. This interactive session will focus on the human side of coaching. You will specifically learn how our implicit bias and blind spots may interfere with us building the most trustful coaching relationships possible with clients that are different from us.
