Supervision for Social Justice Coaches
Your coaching does heavy work.
So does the world you're doing it in.
You need somewhere to put that.
Most coaches don't have a place to be the one asking for help. You hold space for others — that's the whole job. But what happens when the case load is heavy, the dynamics are complicated, and you're carrying the weight of your own identity into every room?
Supervision for Social Justice Coaches is that somewhere. A small, intentional group where you bring the real stuff — the session that went sideways, the client dynamic you can't quite name, the slow creep of exhaustion you haven't told anyone about — and you leave with something you didn't walk in with.
This isn't consultation. It's not training. It's not another webinar about coaching competencies. It's a room full of people doing the same hard, important work you are, held by a structure that takes both the coaching and the justice part seriously.
What Supervision Actually Is
Each session, someone brings a real coaching situation — not a hypothetical, not a tidy case study. A real client. A real challenge. The group explores it together: What's happening in the relationship? What are you noticing about yourself? Where might power dynamics or identity be shaping what's visible, or invisible?
I facilitate. I hold the ICF competency framework. I make sure the conversation stays both useful and honest. But the wisdom in the room belongs to all of us.
Sessions are 90 minutes. Groups are 4–6 coaches. We meet seven times over roughly five months, starting with a longer opening session to build the trust that makes the rest possible.
What people typically bring
"I've been phoning it in lately and I don't know why."
"This client triggers real judgment in me and I can't shake it."
“When do I put on my coach hat versus my consultant hat?”
"I keep avoiding the race conversation. I don't know how to open it."
"I'm absorbing my clients' pain and it's following me home."
"One of my clients keeps canceling. I'm not sure how to hold the boundary."
"I think I'm colluding with my client. I need someone to help me see it."
"I'm burning out and I can't tell if I need a break or a different practice."
Who This Is For
Coaches who are actively working with clients — not building toward it, but in it now.
Coaches whose work is oriented toward social change, equity, and justice — inside organizations, in community, or in independent practice.
Coaches with formal training grounded in ICF core competencies and ethics.
Coaches who are willing to be seen. To bring the unfinished thing. To offer honest feedback and receive it. To let the group in.
Coaches who are tired of doing this alone.
This program is specifically designed for coaches navigating social justice contexts — which means the group is intentionally multi-racial, with at least 50% BIPOC participants, and the supervision framework integrates discussions of power, privilege, and systemic dynamics as they show up in coaching relationships. Not as add-ons. As the actual work.
About Pricing
The tuition for Supervision for Social Justice Coaches is $775. That reflects the value of the program and what it costs to run it well.
This round, I'm offering pay-what-you-can pricing with no minimum. You decide what you can pay.
Coaches doing social justice and equity work are often working inside organizations with shrinking budgets, or building practices in underfunded spaces. Cost of living is up. The world is asking a lot. The work you're doing is exactly the kind that should have somewhere to go — cost shouldn't be what closes that door.
If you can pay full tuition, please do — it's what makes the program sustainable, and it's part of how this room stays accessible to coaches who can't. If you can pay above tuition, that helps too. If full tuition isn't possible right now, pay what's possible. No minimum, no questions asked.
What I trust: that you know your situation, and that you'll choose accordingly. The room will be made up of coaches who arrived through different doors to get there.
