Diversity in the Life Coaching Industry: Progress and Challenges: Despite some progress towards diversity in the life coaching industry, significant disparities remain based on socioeconomic, class, and educational backgrounds. Differences in beliefs and identities between communities can also pose challenges to promoting true diversity and inclusivity.
While there has been progress towards diversity in certain aspects of the life coaching industry, particularly in terms of racial and ethnic backgrounds, there is still a lack of diversity in socioeconomic, class, and educational backgrounds. Furthermore, there can be significant differences in beliefs and identities between communities, such as the feminist community and the life coaching community. In the former, feminism was widely accepted and identified with, while in the latter, many people did not identify as feminists or had negative associations with the term. This highlights the importance of promoting true diversity and inclusivity across all identity and belief lines.
Impact of authenticity on conversations around women's empowerment: Authenticity and engagement in diverse spaces can shift conversations and foster a sense of belonging, contributing to positive change.
Being authentic and openly sharing your beliefs, even in unfamiliar or diverse spaces, can have a profound impact on others. Six years ago, the speaker and her colleague, Rachel, noticed that while some people had heard of feminism, many had not given it much thought or held negative stereotypes about it. However, through their presence and influence in the life coaching industry, they've seen a shift in the conversation around women's empowerment and socialization. The speaker acknowledges that she and Rachel didn't create this change alone, but believes that their authenticity and willingness to engage with diverse audiences contributed to it. This experience highlights the tension between the desire for change and the need for belonging, and emphasizes that belonging is a thought, not a circumstance. By focusing on creating feelings of connection, safety, and love, we can foster a sense of belonging and make a positive impact on those around us.
Stepping Outside of Your Comfort Zone for Change: To make a difference, engage with those who hold different beliefs, despite the risks and discomfort, for the potential rewards of change.
If you want to create change, you must be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and engage with people who hold different beliefs and opinions. This can be a challenging and even risky endeavor, but it's necessary for making a difference in the world. It's understandable to desire a sense of belonging and agreement, but true change often requires us to venture into unfamiliar territory and encounter diverse perspectives. This doesn't mean that everyone should constantly strive to change the world, but for those who do, it's important to consider the costs and benefits of standing out and engaging with those who don't share your beliefs. Ultimately, the price of making change is sometimes losing a sense of full belonging and agreement, but the potential rewards can be significant.
Stepping out of comfort zones for greater impact: Leaving familiar communities can lead to new connections and wider impact, but it's important to consider the costs and benefits before making a change.
Expanding one's horizons and stepping out of comfort zones can lead to greater impact and personal growth. The speaker shares her personal experience of leaving a community of like-minded individuals in social justice work to pursue a career in life coaching, which led her to connect with and influence a wider range of people. She emphasizes that this isn't a call for everyone to do the same, but rather an invitation for those who feel called to step outside of their safe identities and communities to consider the potential costs and benefits. By leaving her old community, the speaker was able to create new senses of belonging and connection in her new world, ultimately allowing her to reach and impact a larger audience.
Connecting with those who influence us: To create change and make a positive impact on the world, step out of the crowd and connect with others. Join The Clutch for resources and support.
In order to create meaningful change in the world, we must be willing to step out of our comfort zones and connect with people beyond our immediate circles. This may require taking the first step to create belonging and build relationships with those we wish to influence. The speaker emphasizes the importance of this action, as it has allowed her to impact and change the lives of many individuals beyond her initial reach. Additionally, the speaker encourages listeners to join The Clutch, a community where they can learn new tools and connect with like-minded individuals to deepen their understanding and application of the concepts discussed in the podcast. This community can provide valuable support and resources for those seeking to create change in their own lives. In summary, the key takeaway is that in order to create change and make a positive impact on the world, we must be willing to step out of the crowd and connect with others. The Clutch community can provide a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding and application of these concepts.
