BIPOC Changemaker Coaching Circles
Throughout time, BIPOC trailblazers have been the champions of innovation and togetherness. But, juggling their duties and navigating the chaos of the pandemic has left many feeling utterly drained. The harsh light of the COVID-19 crisis has only magnified the deep-rooted needs, vulnerabilities, and inequalities stemming from systemic racism. In the face of these trials, BIPOC leaders have stood tall, promoting healing, progress, and unwavering strength.
Despite their awe-inspiring efforts, many BIPOC leaders are currently grappling with the personal toll and scars of racism, leading to sky-high levels of burnout, exhaustion, and PTSD. This struggle is especially palpable among nonprofit leaders, as the initial wave of financial support post-George Floyd's verdict wanes, nudging them towards more survival-oriented tactics over forward-thinking strategies like coaching and planning.
In a bid to tackle this shift head-on, Blooming Willow Coaching is rolling up its sleeves. Enter the Healing Circles - collective growth and healing spaces that provide BIPOC leaders with an opportunity to hit the Pause button and zero in on their growth and well-being. By offering a breather from the daily grind and a chance to put personal growth and wellness front and center, this program is deigned to support a growth and healing ripple.
