Coach Question Friday: Your Skin Color

Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!

Notes from this episode are below.

My coaching question for today is…. How has the color of your skin impacted your life experiences?

The color of your skin doesn't define who you are, but it can have an impact on your life and perspective.

I invite you to consider how your world view may be different from someone else with a different skin tone.

Even today, your skin color can impact the way you are perceived and can lead to assumptions about:

  • Your educational abilities

  • Your motives when shopping or driving

  • Your accomplishments

  • Your professional aptitude


    To learn more, I recommend reading White Rage and other anti-racism books that you can find here.

What experiences have you had due to the color of your skin? I'd love to hear your story!
