Course Details:
This 90-minute, on-demand webinar, originally presented to the ICF Career Coaching Community of Practice, focuses on understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion in career coaching.
The presenters will review terminology, concepts, and a case study related to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) using the lens of career interventions for BIPOC communities in West Coast Turtle Island.
The presenters will share their journey to create a career development program that addresses the unique challenges that they both experienced as Black women navigating careers and workspaces within Canada, as well as the continued barriers they observed within their community.
Participants will have an opportunity to apply EDI to a career coaching context and explore how identity, privilege, and discrimination can impact both expectations and outcomes when it comes to career exploration and development.
Through this session, there will be opportunities to discuss how applying a decolonialized lens and interventions can provide an inclusive approach to your career coaching practice.

What Comes After Growth Mindset
How we show up and interact, reveals what we value, what we fear, how we think and what we believe. In this session we begin by noticing. Notice how we tend to show up in conversation. We will explore four types of mindsets that influence how we engage in conversation. The characteristics produce an energetic signature. Our mindset influences tone, timing, and ultimately then, how others perceive our trustworthiness. By applying several of the ICF sub-competencies, learn how to notice when a judgement arises and pause to allow curiosity to bubble up so we can generate new awareness that is the seed of evolution. The session offers an opportunity to match mindset traits with a specific business context, key relationship(s), and professional experience, applied first to self and second to your client context.
