Could coaching help us navigate this polycrisis? with Keri Jarvis

Is coaching just another navel-gazing pastime for middle-class women?
Or is it an important tool for helping us build community and make societal change?

That's the question on hand in this week's Soap Box episode.

 This week I'm talking to Keri Jarvis.  Keri is an intersectional feminist developmental coach, a community activist, and a charity co founder.  Her best work happens when she's exploring relational dynamics with clients, deepening their understanding of themselves and others in the context of oppressive systems, so that they can sustain easier access to their healthy adult selves, and rehearse the future we're craving into being. 

 Keri is also possibly one of the smartest people I've talked to in a really long time. And the whole entire conversation blew my mind.

Amongst a plethora of other things,  Keri talks to me about how coaching promises to be an antidote to the corporate world, but really just ends up reinforcing those systems, with a little bit of woo sprinkle on top.  We chat about how to navigate the discomfort that often comes with spending time on self development when the world is falling apart. 

And we explore living in the system whilst trying to break it apart.  If you've spent any time around the coaching industry, then a lot of the questions and the conundrums that we unpick in this podcast will be extremely relevant to you. And I'm hoping, and so is Keri, that this episode will give you a more positive perspective on the potential that coaching has to, be a rehearsal space for creating better relationships, , better movements and ultimately a better world. 

I'm convinced that you will love this episode, so I'm not even going to say that I hope you like it! So grab a cup of coffee, probably a notebook and sit back and enjoy Keri getting on her soapbox.
