Courageous conversations require participants to speak candidly and listen openly about topics that are often considered “undiscussable,” and call for having the courage to communicate with honesty, vulnerability, and mutual respect. These conversations contribute to building a learning culture among members of the International Coaching Federation and greater community while also leading to a better understanding of the unique needs of others.

Learning Objectives:

  1. You will learn about specific challenges and opportunities impacting LGBTQ+ coaches.
  2. You will hear a variety of perspectives from panelists about LGBTQ+ related issues.
  3. You will learn how you can best support clients who identify with the LGBTQ+ community.
