Coaching

From Surviving to Thriving

Six-Month-Long Weekly Coaching Lab
Next Cohort Starts January 2024

Applications for 2024 cohort open March 2023

• Are you tired of continually being underestimated in your leadership role?
• Do you yearn for the freedom to be “yourself” in your work?
• Do you want to more easefully guide change within white dominant systems?
• Do you crave engagement with like-minded peers who understand the challenges you face?

This is a moment in which BIPOC leadership is desperately needed. In order to address urgent issues and transform our systems to survive the twenty-first century we need more diverse viewpoints at the table, yet too often BIPOC leaders are put in the position of stewarding crucial initiatives with inadequate resources, skill training or support.

The BIPOC Leader Lab is a bespoke coaching cohort that leverages the power of collaborative learning to help participants solidify concepts, share strategies and develop practical skills. 

The program is designed to uphold and uplift racialized leaders, in management to executive-level roles, who are looking to be more sustainable and impactful in their work. By integrating group coaching and peer learning principles, the BIPOC Leader Lab supports leaders shepherding change against the current with frameworks, resources, guidance and community so they can stay energized, strategic and effective.
