Why is it important?
We explore the Eurocentric norms of executive coaching to reveal the ways in which they support a colour-blind approach to racialised dynamics of power and exclusion in the workplace. As a result of our exploration of discussions between BIPOC coaches from New Zealand, Kenya, South Africa & UK we propose a programme for change across the coaching industry to promote anti-racism and a liberatory, social change orientation for coaching.
Perspectives
This is the first piece of research which takes a critical look at coaching from the standpoint of race. As a black woman in the coaching sector it has been important to raise an issue I feel there has been a conscious silence around for far too long. The conversations have now begun and I am proud to have been part of setting them alight.
