Courageous conversations require participants to speak candidly and listen openly about topics that are often considered 'undiscussable' and require a lot of courage to bring up. These conversations are part of building a learning culture in our chapter and lead to a better understanding of the needs of others. The purpose of this event is to reinforce the community and build trust. Through these conversations, our three featured speakers will explore and discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by black coaches in their careers. This event will help to enable coaches, both Black and non-Black, to become more comfortable having dialogue around race.

Overall, we want to encourage coaches to have courageous conversations, leading to a better understanding of one another and promoting a positive and inclusive coaching environment.
