Join us Wednesday, June 10 from 12:00pm–1:00pm for “ The Space Between Words: Inclusion in Real Coaching Conversations,” our Annual Cultural Competency Workshop that supports our chapter’s DEIB initiative, BEACON (Belonging, Equity, Access Coaching Opportunity Network). In this interactive session, ICF Global DEIB leaders Dr. Jennifer Koster and Sarah Masoud will explore how inclusion is experienced in real coaching conversations, not just in theory.
