| Speaker: Pamela Larde Title: Power, Gender, Leadership, and Change: Ethical Implications for Coaching Abstract: This discussion session offers an enlightening exploration of the ethical implications surrounding power, gender, leadership, and change in the coaching profession and beyond. Participants will delve into the dynamics of oppressive power structures, with a specific focus on gender dynamics and their profound impact on our personal and professional lives. The session will examine three gender power dynamics, ranging from same-gender oppression to cross-gender and interracial oppression, while shedding light on the suppressions experienced by the targeted population. Through the lens of Emancipatory Coaching, participants will uncover approaches to inspire transformative change within themselves and for their clients in the spirit of creating an inclusive and equitable coaching environment. This session aims to incite dialogue around what it means to shape a renewed commitment and approach to ethical coaching in the context of today’s social challenges in a way that also drives positive social change. |
