COACHING NOW: Inclusive Coaching for a Changing World
An accredited professional coach education programme that supports Coach Training Providers to understand the profound significance of diversity, social justice, equity and inclusion in Coaching, with a specific reference to race.
Why is it different?
The lack of dialogue on diversity, inclusion, racial identity, and systemic inequities within existing coaching frameworks and curricula leave unexamined parts of us that we believe represent integral elements to being a professional, ethical, and inclusive coach.
Our unique coach education programme is designed and delivered by a racial equity & belonging consultant and Executive Coach. This programme is geared towards equipping you for action, through our Consciousness Raising & Critical Reflection Learning Framework.

The Key features of Our Training Curriculum:
The Raising Racial Consciousness (RRC) training curriculum maps to the EMCC & ICF Coaching competency framework, however, goes beyond those frameworks to:
Develop ‘racial consciousness’ equipping you with the knowledge, racial literacy, and confidence to drive meaningful change within your organisation and coaching practice.
Develop your ‘critical consciousness’ as a coach, supporting you to critically analyse the social, political, and cultural factors that influence coaching practices.
Understand the nexus of Power/Knowledge in coaching practices, enabling you to better understand and navigate ideological power structures that may exist in coaching or training environments.
Demystifies diversity, equity and inclusion work, to understand its significance in coaching.
Develop a psychosocial understanding of race, racialisation, and racism, examining their relevance to our identity, values & beliefs as coach practitioners.
Explore how systemic inequality may be explicitly addressed in in Coaching and consider how you can work towards creating more equitable and effective coaching relationships and environments.
What have others had to say about training with RRC?
“The Coaching Now programmed delivered by Bernice was an exceptional learning experience. The quality and organisation of the course materials were truly impressive – Bernice has clearly invested a tremendous amount of time and effort to create such a professional and comprehensive programme. The content was excellent and really challenged me to think deeply, almost like being back in university. I particularly appreciated the mix of pre-recorded knowledge modules and live discussion sessions, which allowed me to learn at my own pace while also engaging in valuable group dialogue. Bernice’s one-on-one coaching sessions were also incredibly helpful in allowing me to apply the concepts to my own practice. I would highly recommend this CPD to any coach looking to deepen their understanding of inclusive and equitable practices. Bernice’s expertise, passion, and commitment to this work is evident throughout, and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her.”
Julie Williams, December 2024
“What I appreciate about the programme is the extraordinary level of trust that Bernice places in her participants. We arrived with our differences, at various points on the trajectory of understanding the interplay between self, professional identity, power, whiteness and racial equity. The process that Bernice has mapped means that there is a conscious and unconscious unfolding that breaks new ground. There is no pressure to be right, to be in a hurry, to get answers. There came a point where the learning deepened and locked, the world shifted a bit, and I am now mobilised to use my voice with care, and take imperfect action in my sphere of influence. I also met people who are similarly engaged in their learning process, so we are keeping in touch and collaborating. I highly recommend this programme for coaches who want to see the profession change in order to meet and co-create a more equitable future”.
Naomi Ward January, 2025
“Bernice, your unique personal style integrated with the content of the programme I attended on raising critical consciousness enabled me to take major steps in my learning and perspective on race and my own racism. It was those ‘yes’ moments when the different pieces in the puzzle of race consciousness fitted together that I enjoyed yet, alongside those, there were the uncomfortable moments when I realised and understood my part in it. What was different in this programme was your ability to create an atmosphere of kindness and compassion and simultaneously hold us on the uncomfortable edge where we learned most.” Fenella Trevillion Nov, 2024
Why coaching and why now?
We know that what is brought to coaching is always against a backdrop of the current global dynamics – societal, economical, and political. As coaches, mentors and supervisors, our knowledge gaps about inequality and racism, how it manifests and reproduces today in the workplace, mean that despite good intentions we are ill equipped to change the system.
The coaching profession has a plethora of tools, models, and new practices.
This Coach education programme supports you to:
Reflect on the theoretical foundations of your practice.
Consider how your practice might promote social justice and racial equity.
