#73: Jackee Holder – Trauma-informed Coaches Have Never Been More Needed

As the world untangles itself from the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, there is important healing work to be done. In this episode of The Coach’s Journey Podcast, trauma-informed wellbeing and resilience coach Jackee Holder maps out the impact of events on our collective consciousness, and points the way forward for our profession. A true coaching trailblazer, Jackee was among the very first black coaches in the UK and become one of the first black British authors to publish in the self-help genre when she released Soul Purpose in 1999. From earning her degree in government and politics, Jackee moved into youth and community work, where the quality of listening she received from a supervisor altered her perspective on her own career. Preferring to describe herself as “a human who gets to be on purpose” than as a coach, Jackee’s work is currently focused on the therapeutic benefits of journaling and expressive writing. This work has taken her into her zone of genius, and she describes the remarkable changes that manifest when we are in alignment with our work. Jackee opens up about her journey to becoming a successful author, leadership coach and coach supervisor, reflecting on the hardships and the breakthroughs that shaped her remarkable life and career. In this episode, Jackee and host Ruth Saville also talk about: ·      How journaling can be harnessed as a growth process ·      Moving into coaching without throwing out your old career ·      How to skilfully navigate how you show up in the world without losing your sense of identity ·      Ways to amplify the work you do in your own time: your personal reading, learning and podcast consumption Jackee also generously shares advice and guidance to anyone interested in becoming a trauma-informed coach, and suggests key reading that can act as a springboard into this work.
