Coaching For Community

Coaching for Community is a virtual anti-racism coaching and training program designed for individuals, groups and businesses to help create personalized action plans for change.

Coaching for Community meets participants where they are in their own personal anti-racism journey, giving each person the freedom to expand at their own pace.

Not exactly, although there is a strategy involved. Coaching for Community relies on the thoughtful deep questions and active listening guidelines governed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Not only does this method provide a safe place to uncover your biases without judgement, it also empowers you to create and accomplish your individual goals.

Traditional DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) training has been very rigid and fear-based in its structure, by promoting the idea of right and wrong. It also has been highly ineffective. Coaching for Community instead celebrates the individual journey, embracing each person’s strengths and challenges for optimum growth without shame.

In early 2020, André M. Brown watched the tragedies of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor with a mix of anger, sadness, frustration and sometimes resignation. But, he was also heartened by the mobilization of people from all backgrounds during the Black Lives Matter protests. He wanted to build a safe vulnerable place to channel that collective energy of a diverse group of people who wanted to help, even after the marches were over.

Above all, André wants to be part of the solution. He hopes you do too.
