In the Arena with Iacob Bacian - Equity

Many of us feel committed to having more equitable relationships, teams or organisations and communities - but don’t know where to start, how we are doing it well and we sometimes underestimate the emotional labour of living and working in this way. 

 

In this episode we were delighted to invite Iacob Bacian ‘In The Arena’ to talk about his journey in working, coaching and connecting in more equitable ways - the hope he sees and some of the challenges involved. 

 

Iacob (He/Him) started his career as a graphic designer, trained in service design and worked on projects focused on improving public services. Iacob later trained as a coach and has focused his practice on developing a coaching practice where people experience equal and empowering relationships, especially when they have experienced deeply oppressive systems and relationships before.

 

Iacob gave us some great WRAP recommendations for you to delve deeper: 

1. Watch: Disclosure - Documentary on trans representation in the media
2. Read: Huddlecraft newsletter  - A CIC galvanizing the power of peer-to-peer learning.
3. Audio: Poetry Unbound - A respite from the work, words to encompass the immensity, the grief, the grind, the joy.
4. Ponder: Who can you do this work together with?

And if you want to learn more about the work of Civil Rights Activist John Lewis and getting in good trouble this video clip gives you some headlines and from here you can delve deeper.
