Have you ever wondered what colonialism has to do with your coaching business today? In this eye-opening episode, we’re taking a step back to explore the roots of colonialism, beginning with the pivotal Berlin Conference of 1884-1885.
If you’ve been inspired by recent episodes featuring my students courageously navigating racial equity, today’s deep dive is essential listening. We’re unpacking how historical events like the colonisation of Ceuta by Portugal set the stage for global exploitation, economic inequalities, and systemic racism we still see today.
You’ll learn:
🎙 What colonialism truly means and why it matters deeply for online business owners.
🎙 How the Berlin Conference dramatically shaped Africa’s history and influenced colonial practices around the world.
🎙 Tangible ways colonial mindsets subtly infiltrate the coaching industry through capitalism-driven narratives, patriarchal leadership structures, and exclusive pricing models.
This conversation is about recognising these influences in our present-day businesses so we can consciously move towards genuine equity and inclusion.
