What does it take to create a truly safe coaching space — one rooted in trust, context, and cultural awareness?

In this episode of The Coaching Book Club, hosts Christy Stuber and Ken McKellar unpack Legacy by Dr. Uché Blackstock — a deeply personal and powerful book about racism in healthcare, family lineage, and the urgent need to reimagine trust and equity in professional spaces.

Together, Christy and Ken explore how this memoir challenges coaches to reflect on their own identities, biases, and responsibilities when working with diverse clients — and why these conversations are essential to effective, ethical coaching.

Tune in to explore three key insights from the book, including:

✅ Why coaching isn’t just about skill — it’s also about the context we create for those skills to unfold
✅ The power of reflective practice to reveal personal bias, build trust, and strengthen client connection
✅ How collective healing, not just individual growth, shows up in coaching — and what that means for your sessions

Whether you’re cultivating safer spaces in one-on-one coaching or navigating trust in team and group settings, this episode will expand your lens and invite you into the ongoing work of coach development.

🎧 Listen now for a heartfelt and provocative conversation that proves: the way we coach is part of the legacy we leave.
