In this episode of Real Talk for Coaches, Dr. Dawn C. Reid and Coach Will dive into one of the most complex challenges coaches face today: navigating politics and social justice in the coaching space.

When does silence harm trust?

• Coaches navigating political or social justice discussions
• Coaches working internationally or cross-culturally
• Helping professionals seeking ethical clarity
• Coaches dealing with neutrality, bias, and values alignment
