068: Inequity and Diversity in the Coaching Industry with Shalini Sequeira

“It is an inequitable profession.”

Shalini Sequeira, Executive Coach and part of the leadership team at She Leads Change, joins Dr Alexandra Morgan to reflect on inequity and lack of diversity in coaching.

Shalini shares that after leaving behind 20 years as a corporate lawyer, where she experienced inequity, she was disappointed to have a similar experience in the coaching industry. Her experience set her off on a mission to challenge inequity at all levels and sectors of the coaching profession.

Shalini provides questions and recommendations for coach training organizations and businesses to improve equity and understand the benefits of a diverse community of coaches. With no role models in her past, she is now the role model she wished she had had herself.
