Supervision and Movement Ecology with Okokon Udo, Ph.D.

The intersection of coaching/ coaching supervision and Movement Ecology

Movement ecology is a broad-based body of work and a collection of change models wrapped up in one. It offers a roadmap that can help supervisors and coaches to locate themselves in their cultural story, understand where to begin and how to engage their diversity in order to deliver value for all clients.

Dr. Udo’s presentation will introduce Movement Ecology, focus on the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) space within the context of our ever-so-complex individual and communal intersecting identities, referred to as intersectionality. It will unfold the topic, provoke reflection and integration, challenge cultural imperialism and provide developmental resources regardless of where one is on the DEIB journey.

Dr. Udo will also be one of our keynote speakers at our upcoming conference at the end of April. For more information on Dr. Okokon Udo, please click on his website: Okokon Udo — LeaderWise

October 18,2021: Loyalty @ work: how to use loyalty as a catalyst for self-reflection in SuperVision with Thea Bombeek, PMC, ESIA

Your family of origin is your first context. This is where you get a blueprint of the important life themes. There you learn to deal with good and bad, recognition and punishment, power and authority, self-validation, and self-demarcation. You get experiences in how to cope with tensions and conflicts, and how loyalties and legacies work. This happens both consciously and unconsciously. With this blueprint, you enter your work context both as a coach and supervisor.

Why do your clients and supervisees always seem to bring similar topics to your own?  What about your own choice of becoming a coach? How have your professional choices been influenced by your desire to respond to the expectations of your parents?  Possibly (invisible) loyalties to your family of origin are playing tricks on you.

In this lecture, you discover these underlying processes and patterns… and their impact on your (career) choices and that of your clients. It helps you to make conscious choices when dealing with professional challenges in a more constructive way. It will increase your effectiveness. Living more in alignment with your essence and at the same time staying loyal to your family will create inner peace. It will give meaning to your life. Furthermore, the insights you gain from this lecture will help you to address these themes with your coachees and supervisees.

Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) in Coaching Supervision:

This segment of the Americas Coaching Supervision Network  reviewed three fundamental intersectional concepts through the coaching and supervision experience. Principles of “diversity” in coaching have been embraced by ICF and EMCC. Globally, both organizations have recognized the importance of incorporating diversity-related best practices in everyday coaching work. The opportunity to address these principles becomes imperative when considering the value and multi-layered impact of coaching supervision. Throughout the interactive session, participants were asked to reflect on how increased awareness and understanding of DEI can enhance and up-level their coaching and supervision practices. The goal is to empower coaches to effectively meet the challenge of recognizing systemic inequality while also increasing their comfort level initiating dialogue about the same. A list of working EDI terminology will be made available to attendees
