In this transformative session, Jay Pryor—executive life coach, transgender activist, and advocate for conscious leadership—delves into the hidden dynamics of gender assumptions in coaching. Their practice has a special focus on executive women in part because of their insight into the shift in their treatment when perceived as a woman or a man in business settings. Drawing from their expertise, Jay illuminates how unconscious biases around gender can shape personal and professional growth, often hindering clarity and decision-making.

Through an interactive dialogue, Jay will guide coaches to:

  • Identify and address blind spots related to gendered thinking.
  • Foster a deeper understanding of the complexities of gender identity and expression.
  • Equip their clients to navigate gender dynamics in high-pressure environments.

This talk ties directly into the ICF Core Competencies, emphasizing Evoking Awareness by challenging ingrained perceptions, and Establishing Trust and Intimacy through inclusive, authentic connections. Participants will leave empowered to create transformative spaces where all clients can thrive, free from limiting gender narratives.

For coaches ready to elevate their practice and support their clients in breaking through unseen barriers, this talk is not to be missed.
