Coaching with Adrienne

While the culturally “popular” response to identity-related bias incidents is to shame and punish, we know that rarely produces the kind of meaningful or systemic changes that people and organizations are seeking.  A transformative approach encourages us to invite accountability and move towards repair and deeper understanding while focusing on humanizing everyone involved in real and tangible ways.

Transformative impact response coaching equips you to engage approaches and develop processes that promote naming impact and harm, listening to and educating one another, and encouraging accountability that builds, repairs, and restores relationships when identity-related bias incidents occur.

• Organization and team leaders,
• Faculty, teachers, counselors
• DEI, human resources, and student affairs professionals,
• Mediators and facilitators,
• Trainers and workshop coordinators,
• Community organizers and advocates,
• Individuals committed to co-creating and supporting equitable and inclusive communities 

Individuals involved in bias incidents or interactions frequently experience a sense of isolation, vulnerability and report feeling unsupported. Impact response coaching can build your capacity to respond more effectively with care and empathy.

Meaningful support most often begins with “first responders” or the individuals that are most likely to witness or be told about a bias incident or interaction. Being equipped to engage those impacted by a identity-related bias incident increases the possibility restoring a sense of belongingness, reducing additional harm, and moving forward in meaningful ways. Impact response coaching and training prepares you to respond in ways that prioritize people and their support needs.
