Neil Edwards on Ownership and Belonging

Neil Edwards is a soulful leader and perceptive coach who works at the intersection of leadership, relationships, wellbeing, and inclusion.  As an executive coach, he supports leaders and teams, centering values and purpose, and sees mature leadership as an outgrowth of identity work.  In this conversation Neil shared early experiences of racism from his move from the Bahamas to the U.S.  Nina and Neil also explored how belonging is connected to ownership and ways black people are excluded in the United States.  Finally we discussed our hopes for the future of coaching now that coaching schools are focused on becoming more inclusive.
