Workshops
2023 Coaching, Leading, and Living Inclusively Cohort 2

This workshop will be delivered on Zoom. There will be eight sessions of approximately 2 hours each, and participants will meet in small groups between sessions.

All sessions will be recorded and made available in the course environment for the duration of the program.

Coaching, Leading, and Living Inclusively: Gender, Sex, and the Body builds participants’ capacities to be present to diverse human experiences of our bodies, erotic energies, and relationships to gender.

Building these capacities begins with a reflective turn to ourselves and our own personal experiences and identities. Only by gaining perspective on our own gender, sexual energies and identities, and bodies can we possibly be present to our clients in these dimensions.

This program immerses participants in queer culture. It’s like a virtual study abroad experience in “the land of gay.” Plenary sessions are experiential, featuring interactive sessions with a  diverse set of guest speakers, reflective and practical exercises, and ample opportunity to practice coaching as new awareness is built.

Drawing on adult development theory and the Heroes Journey program from Flourishing Gays, Coaching, Leading, and Living Inclusively explores the developmental journeys of gay, bi, and queer men, as a pathway into gaining new perspectives on gender and sexual identities as they intersect with cultural, racial, religious, and other social identities.

This program is coach training and leadership development that expands both professional capacities and possibilities for life. It is open to learners of all social identities, and specifically aims to meet the learning needs of straight and LGBTQ+ participants alike.
