Introducing An Intersectional Lens in Executive Coaching for Black Women Leaders

This paper advocates for the integration of intersectionality theory into executive coaching for Black women leaders, emphasizing the importance of recognizing intersecting systems of race, gender, and class in leadership development. Traditional leadership models often marginalize Black women’s experiences, reinforcing systemic inequalities. By adopting an intersectional framework, coaching can address these challenges, promote inclusive leadership practices, and empower Black women to navigate organizational barriers. This approach fosters authentic leadership identities, ensuring diverse voices are heard and valued in leadership roles.
