2022 It Is Time

How can we respect our coaching clients if we are not aware of our beliefs? We will create a safe space where participants will co-create the learning about how our beliefs influence our interactions and our introspection. The group will explore how beliefs and ideas can be challenged, focusing on issues of race and oppression.
