In this episode Dr Natalie Lancer examines ‘How do coaches work race?’ with Dr Terrence Maltbia, Charmaine Roche and Nankhonde Kasonde-van den Broek. We explore how race shows up in the coaching context by debating: What it would take for the world of coaching to take an anti-racist approach What the implications are for coaches wanting to bring up race What neutrality in coaching means and the associated ethical implications How fixed and growth mindsets affect our approach to working with race Why we get anxious when we talk about race The challenges of tackling racism at the systemic level The shortcomings of diversity work in relation to race
