On this episode from @ewbpod, Mahlon (@SuperMahrio) and Cleon (@inperspectiveuk) have an overdue redo of what would have been EWB's first conversation!
Honing in on Cleon's interest in coaching and development, we talk about how early career exposure to this, (via a HR role in the police service) left him dissatisfied with the focus being on procedural compliance over personal development. The impact of this would influence his work in youth development more broadly.
We consider how undertaking the role of Head of Behaviour in a Black body is a complex navigation of working within the confines of policies while at the same time trying to expand its often narrow confines. We also look back at a number of moments, (including some of shared experience) from different perspectives and reason with the understanding of how institutional non-racist vs anti-racist approaches result in different outcomes for all involved.
