Description
In an ever-changing and progressively unsettled environment, coaching is a critical and impactful tool to effectively support, motivate and nurture all employees. The intrinsic purpose of coaching is to build self-belief, self-awareness and self-management. To ensure people are equipped to innovate, thrive and collaborate in a highly complex and diverse work environment. However, is the coaching offered fit for purpose for ALL employees? How do you effectively coach someone whose culture, sexual identity, family background, religious background, social class, or physical or neurological characteristics are very different from yours?
This session explores why coaching through a wider systemic lens of inclusion, belonging and equity is becoming crucial to serving a diverse population and covers:
- what is coaching through a lens of diversity, inclusion, belonging and equity?
- why we need to understand and acknowledge the importance of the lived experience in coaching
- the danger of performance management being cloaked as performance coaching
- why equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging (EDIB) in coaching should be part of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda
- why we need to offer a diverse pool of coaches to everyone
- why all talent needs access to ‘high quality’ coaching
