This is a four-part group coaching programme for coaches who want to deepen their practice by engaging directly with anti-racism. Together, we will create a space to reflect, challenge ourselves, and explore the impact of racial bias in coaching and beyond.
We ask that you commit to all four online sessions, come having read The Good Ally by Nova Reid, and be prepared to enter conversations that may feel uncomfortable but are essential. These sessions are not about quick fixes or easy answers , they are about sustained reflection, honesty, and collective learning.
All profits will be donated to charity: Kids of Colour
