ICF Director of DEIB, LaKisha C. Brooks, and Aikyna Finch, PCC, will lead a moderated discussion with participants on understanding perceptions and navigating conflicts. In a diverse world, ideas, concepts, and opinions will vary. Though this can lead to creativity and innovation, it can also lead to confusion and frustration, which, at times, can cause an unwanted divide.
To alleviate the risk of conflict, we need to pause and listen to those who may think differently than we do. This is an important opportunity for ICF and coaches to use our unique collective power. Participants will all have an opportunity to share their viewpoints in a safe space.

This workshop will help coaches understand historical cycles, generational differences, and how to coach the youth. In understanding our perception of generational differences, we can remove unconscious barriers to connection. This results in changes in how we interact with the world and frees the flow of information from youth to elders and vice versa. By the end of the presentation, you will have a mental model of how generational gaps are fabricated; uncover biases towards baby boomers, Gen Xers, millennials and Gen Zers; and have simple practices to support the newest generation to be empowered.

Coaches are a unique audience in that they are able to balance challenge, on the one hand, with safety and support, on the other. This makes them an excellent group to appreciate and engage in the process of positive provocation. You will first be introduced to the model, given opportunities to reflect on the ways that it mirrors or differs from your own coaching philosophies, and offered the chance to ask questions.
