Meet Peter Godard - a transformational coach, equity strategist, and joyful co-conspirator for personal and collective liberation. As founder of Great Bear Coaching, Peter offers a warm, intuitive approach and supports his clients in exploring identity, power, and possibility. His coaching is rooted in compassion and celebration, helping people feel grounded as they grow into new versions of themselves.
In our conversation, Peter shares his powerful journey, shaped by his identity as a GenX queer man and the descendant of French Canadian and Irish American farmers and teachers from a rural town in Vermont. Now based in Chicago, he lives with his husband Bob and finds joy in his chosen family, the outdoors, queer fiction, and creative experiments in the kitchen and brings a deep sense of justice, play, and humanity to all he does.
Peter is also the co-creator of the Social Identity Coaching Lab, where he works at the intersection of equity, leadership development, and culture shift. Whether coaching one-on-one, facilitating groups, or consulting with teams, Peter’s work invites people and organizations to get real about equity and imagine bold new ways of being.
Our conversation is a true celebration of QUEER MAGIC, identity, embodiment, and the radical act of imagining more liberated ways to lead and live. Welcome to the conversation.
