Julia and Ntyatyambo are speaking at the Graduate School Alliance for Education in Coaching (GSAEC) Bonfire Virtual Summit entitled Imagine Change: Spark the Potential of Coaching Education

Date: July 22-23, 2021

This presentation explores inner freedom using the work of Steve Biko who developed a methodology for building inner freedom that focussed on identifying discarded, denied, and defiled identities, infusing these with pride, and reintegrating them within to support enhanced agility, agency, and competency in the world. This methodology is very useful for supporting clients to operate from a stronger base and work effectively with shame. The event is presented as a dialogue between a white coach and a black coach investigating what inner freedom may look like for different races, and the processes involved in liberating oneself from the gaze and expectations of others. A particular focus will be how to have cross-cultural conversations about race in a straightforward way.
