This interactive session centres Ubuntu as a foundational, indigenous African leadership philosophy essential to the vibrant future of coaching research. By exploring Ubuntu, we illuminate the rich opportunities for expanding the coaching research ecosystem and its knowledge base.
Rather than questioning its place, this session demonstrates the transformative power of Ubuntu as an equal, rigorous theoretical framework capable of profound scientific commentary.
Through collaborative dialogue, delegates integrate practical pathways for harmonising Afrocentric ontologies and epistemologies within coaching research and curricula.
Abongile Sipondo is a Senior Leader and Scholar dedicated to reclaiming Ubuntu as a foundational leadership philosophy.
