Shifting to a Social Justice Mindset

Course Details

At JST Coaching and Training, we understand the importance of a Social Justice Mindset. Coaches have endless opportunities to support individuals and organizations as they shift to a social justice mindset. The journey begins with YOU, the coach, and your self-work, as you embody a coaching mindset in service of your clients.

This timely course will take a deep dive into many of the puzzle pieces – race, culture, ethnicity, gender, LGBTQIA+, ability and religion, — and provide an understanding of unconscious biases and how societal power and privilege shape our worldview.

We will guide you on a journey of shifting from a mindset of fear, confusion and self-doubt to one of greater clarity as you move towards social change for yourself and with your clients. This virtual, interactive course is designed to maximize class participation and connection in a safe, confidential setting for self-exploration and learning. 

This course includes both pre-course work and homework between sessions, so we encourage you to register early.
