Listen "Coaching the BIPOC Community"
Episode Synopsis
🎙️ In this episode of PRIME SPACE, Elias welcomes Dorisse Shakir-Ullah, ACC — accomplished coach, award-winning leader, and founder of Career Forward Coaching — for a compelling conversation focused on coaching within the BIPOC community.Drawing from over four decades of service at the FBI, where she became the first Black Muslim woman to lead as an administrative officer and hiring manager in a top field office, Dorisse now dedicates her life to helping others rise. Through her coaching, she creates spaces of trust, empowerment, and growth for her clients.💡 In this episode, Dorisse offers essential insights for coaches who want to work more effectively with BIPOC clients:🔑 Key Takeaways: Why understanding a client’s core identity — their values, strengths, and sense of self — is foundational to meaningful coaching. How to help BIPOC clients navigate systemic barriers while nurturing a strong internal compass. The importance of intentional strategy and helping clients think expansively about career possibilities. Why creating a space of spiritual, emotional, and cultural safety matters in every coaching conversation. How mentorship, service, and lived experience can inform a powerful, equity-centered coaching approach.Dorisse's coaching is deeply guided by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring question: “What are you doing for others?” Her response: coaching that uplifts, affirms and expands what’s possible — especially for those historically left out of the conversation.🔗 If you’re a coach seeking to serve diverse clients with authenticity and impact, this episode is essential listening.Connect with Dorisse at Career Forward Coaching and on LinkedIn.#PRIMESPACE #BIPOCVoices #InclusiveCoaching #CareerCoaching #DorisseShakirUllah #CoachingForEquity #StrengthsBasedCoaching #DiversityInLeadership #EmpoweredCoaching #CoachingCommunity #CareerForward #CoachingWithPurpose #EliasScultori #CoachingTips #CoachingMatters
