Training Human Leaders & Coaches: Context and Lived Experience side by side Elena Armijo & Liz Zdunich

One of the most common conversations from coaches in the world is around coaching being a privileged conversation.  Possibility and context currently are being presented as something easily understood by all and outside of lived experiences.  We will model integrating these two side by side to create a both/and in training and the coaching profession. The result of this will be opening up coaching to a wider range of humans, ahead of what the industry is currently doing.
