Bernice Hewson is founder of Raising Racial Consciousness Ltd, an education and coaching organisation on a mission to disrupt our common-sense mode of thinking in pursuit of a racially equitable society.
She believes that if we’re serious about being effective coaches, we need to understand our own racial identity. That the coaching profession cannot operate in a bubble, detached from context. That coaching can be part of the solution to systemic harm - but only if we’re willing to face it.
Working with leadership teams, DEI practitioners, executive coaches and supervisors, she provides a critical thinking environment in which to learn and unlearn.
Towards the end of our conversation, we reference a Linkedin post she had shared about the tensions in coaching - here is the link to it: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bernicehewson_contradictions-in-coaching-activity-7307702312620224512-lazY?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAVbYOYBWTEo34hLUrKQx9NeUq7CTFzGpOg
