Can coaching support collective liberation?
Does coaching inherently perpetuate oppression?
Join me and the Liberatory Livelihood Association (LLA) for a free online event where participants will be discussing what liberatory coaching might mean with one another. You don't need a formal coaching certification (hey, we don't!)--you just have to bring your curiosity and a willingness to share your thoughts.

I’ll email you a Zoom meeting link and calendar invitation.
Event agenda:
We'll provide a discussion prompt asking what "liberatory coaching" means to you
We'll send you to breakout rooms for discussion with other participants
Near the end of the event, you'll join everyone in the main room and each breakout room will share what was discussed.
Our hope is for you to connect with people who share your sentiments about the role of coaching in liberation. We also plan to listen deeply to what was shared so that we can meet needs with relevant events.
We look forward to seeing you on March 16!

My position
My name is Chris Musei-Sequeira, and I use he/him pronouns. My mother was born in Trinidad and Tobago as a descendant of enslaved Africans brought to the Caribbean during the time of European colonization. She came to the United States of America (USA) at the age of 10. My father is Goan and was born in India, in Mumbai, and raised Catholic and English-speaking. He came to the USA for his graduate studies, where he met my mother.
My sister and I were born in the USA and lived a middle-class life in the suburbs of multiple American cities. I studied aeronautical engineering and technology policy in university, then worked at the Federal Aviation Administration and as an aviation consultant. I've lived in cities up and down the USA East Coast since the age of 18, until very recently. Now I live in Eastern Europe with my wife and our cat.
I thank Heather Luna and Lavinia Muth for showing me the importance of publicly expressing our positions. Because of our positions, all of us are very familiar with some aspects of the world while having no idea of other aspects. Positionality expresses how our individual positions affect our relationships with other people and with the world as a whole.
