Prism
Coaching presents Playing to the
Cultural Edge at the International
Coach Federation's Annual International Conference in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
Description
of Presentation:
As coaches, we impact the lives of those we coach and those to whom
they are connected. As individuals, we all have our own impact and
stake in making the world a more equitable place, whether it's coaching
the corporate CEO, a disaster victim, or a non-profit manager. We are
being called forth to take action to notice social injustice or
inequity in service of the client and in creation of a better world. As
celebrated anthropologist Wade Davis said, "The world in which you were
born is just one model of reality. Other cultures are not failed
attempts at being you; they are unique manifestations of the human
spirit."
Come
learn some of the exciting ways that culturally aware coaching is
making a difference around the globe, from a panel of coaches with
Prism Coaching. When we give to others or to community, we reap so much
in return.
- How can noticing culture make you a better coach?
- Where have you experienced a cultural "blind spot" in your coaching and how did it impact your coaching?
- How
can we assist clients to integrate all parts of themselves while
recognizing and calling out inequities that may affect them?
- What do you need to do regarding cultural awareness so you can be your best as a coach?

PRISM PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
Presents a Guest Speaker Event with:
Kim Fowler, MESA Coaching
4pm - 6pm
Felicia Stewart Center
1330 Broadway Street, Suite 1100
Oakland, CA
"Coaching as a Strategy for Peace:
Conscious Relationship with Self and Others"
Humans
engage in conflict from fear of loss. This could be loss of anything;
loss of face, of money, of land, of history, of power, of love, of
one’s or someone else’s life. The bigger the stakes, the more lethal
the conflict. The problem is that often we are not honest about what we
are terrified to lose.
What
if vulnerability was our greatest strength? What if all parties in a
conflict saw themselves as part of a system with many voices, a system
that is trying to change and can’t because it is stuck in “being right”
for fear of loss? What if each of those parties became more conscious
of the truth of their individual fear and was willing to speak it?
This
presentation will play with these and other questions regarding how
coaching can create conversations that remove barriers to conscious,
peaceful relationship.
