Diversity and inclusion are hot topics, and can unleash powerful emotions and deep rooted beliefs. Both are challenging concepts, and it can be difficult to know where to begin: what to call someone; how to phrase something; what is acceptable and what is not; fear of causing offence.
It’s an ever changing landscape, and can be tricky territory as a coach. So knowing how to help both ourselves and our clients find ways through is key. All with a view to understanding where we belong, and how we fit in.
In this episode, you’ll hear coach, consultant and Performance Psychology Practitioner Mo Ford and Glyn Fussell, Oasis Co-Director, discussing the concepts of inclusion, diversity and belonging in coaching.
Mo’s passion for equalities work puts her in the ideal position to be able to offer steps to help navigate through the language and labels associated with identity, power dynamics and reflect on where to begin with all of this as a coach.
